Great job. Your diagnostic approach - determine what's wrong as well as what caused it and not just fix what may be broken - is outstanding. Truly the sign of a professional and someone who is customer focused. Thanks for sharing the video. Once again, Dan not only diagnosed it but also provided important educational advice. Looking forward to your next video.

[@iancroston1928]

I had exactly the same thing on a BMW X3 I bought cheap. Local mobile mechanic replaced DPF, it blocked again so old owner took it to the main dealer who said the turbo was dead and the head needed a lot of work. I found the hole, cut off the retaining band where it mounted to a hard pipe and pushed it on another 25mm. New Miclaor clamp and it was as good as new. The boost pipe had been rubbing on the coolant fan for some time.

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

I'm surprised there wasn't a boost pressure code. My bet is that issue was there before the previous dpf failed and forced regens with too much soot in the old dpf cracked it. Cleaning is always better than forcing a regen when the pressure is too high! Sometimes people reset the learned soot values to make the vehicle regen when in reality it shouldn't be doing.

[@jessejames96]

Drivability parameters should have been checked before and after DPF replacement. Why is this engine running inefficiently? It should have been addressed before sending it down the road

[@davidoff59]

Came here to say this. There was one as he stated because he disconnected the maf, I wonder if it was missed while focusing on the dpf pressure and cleaning procedure.

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

As an aviation mechanic , it was very refreshing to see an auto technician use a logical approach to diagnosing the cause of a problem and not just the symptoms. I do have a question for you though. Why did you not look for TSB's on the symptoms before you started all the troubleshooting? It seems that checking for the TSB first could have helped you reach the solution faster.

[@deerhunter8533]

You still need to diagnose the cause. Proper diagnostic procedures is the most important step for a successful repair and should always be your first step of the repair procedure. Cars are not like airplanes. Every system in a modern car is computer controlled

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

@@deerhunter8533 I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't have done all the other steps to verify that the problem the TSB indicated as the most likely root cause was indeed correct. Especially the cleaning of the DPF system and verifying the pressure sensor was operating within parameters. I was just curious about the order in which you did them. Cars are more like modern aircraft than you realize. For instance the F-22 Raptor can tell the mechanic that there is high iron and nickel content in the engine oil which is a precursor to bearing failure. Not to mention the various other sensors for coolant levels, fuel , hydraulic oil levels, etc..even the length of time a relay takes to activate all are monitored by multiple redundant computer systems.

[@Mobilemechanicuk]

One of the most common causes I've found of dpf high frequency regeneration is the intake pipe leak.... experience has came to find usually the pipes split when the dpf gets blocked to the point the car struggles to start or doesn't and the back pressure and intake pressure meet and blow out. Often tend to find the dpfs block up due to oil leaking from the turbos, which is typically caused by poor and infrequent oil changes is usually the biggest cause of them blocking up..... always great to have ddtsb though dan.... like in terms of precisely.... I now carry digital weighing scales in my van.... thats the level we are at.... cheers. Felix

Unplugging connectors before reading faultcodes is not the best of advise in my opinion. Unplugging connectors could set faultcodes that have nothing to do with the cars issue and send you down a Rabbit Hole.

What a difference in service compared to Australian dealership. My Mitsubishi Triton MQ 2015 2.4L 4N15 my RPM is dropping b 625rpm every time I come to a stop and then quickly comes up to normal rpm 650. Same when idling with AC on, AC clicks in rpm goes up, AC clicks again rpm drops to 625 an then quickly goes up to 650. I have no trouble codes, tested all seniors all good. I bought a smoke machine to test for vacuum leaks and found that the EGR has a leak at the hole used for atmospheric pressure to allow the diaphragm to go up and down. Tested the EGR with vacuum tool and it does hold pressure but has a leak when test from the intake. Purchased new EGR, and had the same leak, ordered another and the same leak. So bit the bullet and booked it with the dealer$hit and I told them what needed to be fixed and that the car has no trouble codes, they said diagnostics are done on a Thursday. Went to the dealership and sat there for half a day but they only looked at car for 15 minutes. Result was it has no trouble codes but we updated the computer, that will be $200 thanks, paid the bill got into the car only to find the same problem. When back in and told them it's still doing the same thing, they said maybe it could be the EGR or valve adjustment, the quote was $1850. Not paying $1850 for a maybe. Can anybody confirm if the EGR leak is normal as I can't get a confirmation from any dealer and the internet has mixed reviews. My EGR has vacuum operation and electronic built into the same unit.

@@mosestaukobong5937 that's not my experience we see many different causes for dpf issues.
