Wall-flow diesel particulate filters usually remove 85% or more of the soot, and under certain conditions can attain soot removal efficiencies approaching 100%. Some filters are single-use, intended for disposal and replacement once full of accumulated ash. Others are designed to burn off the accumulated particulate either passively through the use of a catalyst or by active means such as a fuel burner which heats the filter to soot combustion temperatures. This is accomplished by engine programming to run (when the filter is full) in a manner that elevates exhaust temperature, in conjunction with an extra fuel injector in the exhaust stream that injects fuel to react with a catalyst element to burn off accumulated soot in the DPF filter,[3] or through other methods. This is known as filter regeneration. Cleaning is also required as part of periodic maintenance, and it must be done carefully to avoid damaging the filter. Failure of fuel injectors or turbochargers resulting in contamination of the filter with raw diesel or engine oil can also necessitate cleaning.[4] The regeneration process occurs at road speeds higher than can generally be attained on city streets; vehicles driven exclusively at low speeds in urban traffic can require periodic trips at higher speeds to clean out the DPF.[5] If the driver ignores the warning light and waits too long to operate the vehicle above 60 km/h (40 mph), the DPF may not regenerate properly, and continued operation past that point may spoil the DPF completely so it must be replaced.[6] Some newer diesel engines, namely those installed in combination vehicles, can also perform what is called a Parked Regeneration, where the engine increases RPM to around 1400 while parked, to increase the temperature of the exhaust.
Diesel engines produce a variety of particles during combustion of the fuel/air mix due to incomplete combustion. The composition of the particles varies widely dependent upon engine type, age, and the emissions specification that the engine was designed to meet. Two-stroke diesel engines produce more particulate per unit of power than do four-strokediesel engines, as they burn the fuel-air mix less completely.[7]
Diesel particulate matter resulting from the incomplete combustion of diesel fuel produces soot(black carbon) particles. These particles include tiny nanoparticles-smaller than a one micrometre (one micron). Soot and other particles from diesel engines worsen the particulate matter pollution in the air and are harmful to health.[8]
New particulate filters can capture from 30% to greater than 95% of the harmful soot.[9] With an optimal diesel particulate filter (DPF), soot emissions may be decreased to 0.001 g/km or less.[10]
The quality of the fuel also influences the formation of these particles. For example, a high sulfur content diesel produces more particles. Lower sulfur fuel produces fewer particles, and allows use of particulate filters. The injection pressure of diesel also influences the formation of fine particles

Fantastic advice from a real mechanic. Most would say its all sorts of things and charge you a small fortune. This video needs to be shared far and wide to help prevent people from being ripped off !!!

[@Fullsendfilosophy]

I’ve worked in the industry longer than you and I’ve never met anyone who WANTS to rip anyone off. I’ve seen misdiagnosis before, yes, that is called human error, but all you can do is try to do better next time. We can only hope to be as perfect as you.

[@SuperLEEEDWARDS]

JEEZ an honest mechanic THE WORLD IS CHANGING FOR THE BETTER, JUST WISH I KNEW WHERE YOU ARE AS I HAVE AN VW POLO 1.6TDI WITH THE DREADED DPF. I;M Ex mechanic,Ex class 1 lorry driver and Ex mobile Crane operator but got very sick 2010 so find it hard to work on my own car. LOVE THE TIP THOUGH MATE THANK YOU SCOOBS UK.

[@mikew6922]

Proper mechanic, the plug in “technicians” today would state new DPF every time!

[@TheTheaterdreamer]

Exactly. Most shitty "mechanics" nowadays only know hot to replace parts which any monkey with proper tools and a lift can do. Proper troubleshooting and understanding how stuff works doesn't happen anymore

[@davidshields948]

Damn straight.

[@walkingdeadalphaCO]

They're doing that to me right now. Telling me I need a new one

[@av8089]

Really Genius, a piece of advice that is hard to imagine... BIG THANK YOU!

[@jdwar11]

Wish I knew these things prior to having a car with a DPF. Could have saved a lot of money and many headaches.

[@cardonepausenot]

Thanks for your help with this! Dealing with a sprinter in limp mode as well as a hissing noise that i just picked up. Hoping its something as simple as the hose

[@mandst5466]

That really was an excellent tip. So bloody common DPF and EGR problems these days. Thanks fellas.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@masterofdisaster7427]

Thanks mate, you are right. Always, first look at the simple components.

[@davidshields948]

Thanks mate, I've got one tomorrow, on a A3 Audi, and I'd never have thought of this first . IOU. 1Pint, Guinness.

[@PaulysAuto]

Fascinating...thanks for sharing this with us! Great stuff my friend...always great to see tips like this Leon!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@keithdiamond1608]

Thanks lads, I’ve got a Citroen Berlingo van just gone in limp mode DPF blocked warning. Will check the pipe first. 👍🏾

[@freedomcontrolled6190]

You do know they don't actually give you a new DPF! They take the old one out clean it spray it with a rattle can if your the kind of customer to check if it was actually changed and then charge you thousands for a new one! A new dpf is no better than a cleaned one. Bloody gangsters!!!

[@raystorey3670]

Fantastic advice, now I know what to look for !

[@fulwell1]

Another great video Leon, and something that every diesel owner should watch! Thanks mate, and hope you are staying safe and well.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate you too

[@howyjones6797]

I'm looking at a Vauxhall insignia,dpf fault in limp mode ,that's all the info I have on vehicle

[@gra5793]

Fantastic video, I've already changed sensor, cleaning fluid etc

[@sollykhan2385]

phewww i bet that was 'exhausting work, Leon 🙂 Thanks for that great video, as ever, keep producing them please, BLESS 😇

[@autosport3081]

Excellent tip...Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@robc5955]

Excellent tip, thanks Leon, stay safe.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate you too

[@BugRacer1955]

I’ve got a message on the scanner vehicle conditions incorrect for dpf regen 😡 I’m now thinking have a look at the pipes - great video Leon 👍🏻

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Thx for a great video! I´m to replace my dpf pressure sensor tomorrow because of second time "soot filter full" and limp mode, first time a guy I know at a volvo shop did a force regen with Volvo Vida, took half a tank of diesel in 35minutes.... will def check the hoses at the same time!

[@stevethomas2478]

Hi did the pressure sensor work?

[@CastleHassall]

I hope God blesses you guys good for you trying to help others so good heartedly.. thanks.. got issues with an injector and glow plug fault codes showing up on Dacia Duster but I'm thinking it might be cables or something like that as it's only done just over 30,000 miles

[@nancybarraza9301]

Thank mate a very good video I learn a lot.

[@poormanrentacar268]

Brilliant work!

[@eliotcurtis2155]

Great information thanks

[@gswahililady3355]

Amazing people still around 🎉

[@georgej2390]

Just had this on my 1.6 tdci cmax. Hose had split and put the car into limp mode. Sorted the hose but it wouldn’t come out of limp mode. Apparently it needs to have the values reset on the ECU cos it remembers the old values where’s it got sent into limp mode. Also the hoses are £££. It’s a high temp hose. Replaced it with a high temp fuel line.

[@wesleyholmes4360]

That an excellent find , good stuff 👍👍, I'll always be checking pipes like that now

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@dobrln]

Really great advice and stuff . Cheers

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@flexpex94]

great tip, il check the car im working on tommorow and see if the other mechanic missed this.

[@CarsExposed]

Awesome tip mate, the pipe looked perfect before removing the sleeve 👍👍👍👍 cheers

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate boom sorted lol

[@waynepower766]

Wow well good tip...nice one fella

[@Tecto764]

Awesome work well done

[@shaneoreo4362]

Yeah , boost actuator! It happen to me too . I thought I needed a new turbo, but only a couple of dollars for new rubber hose 👍👍👍

[@grahamrobson9292]

Great video my VW Transporter 5cyl was plagued by DPF blocking and sensor problems and a simple pipe could have been the key to solving that. The garage repeatedly replaced the sensor as faulty then after 2 years on limp mode said the only option was to remove the DPF and remap.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video may be best off not thinking about that he could have just been a split pips

[@vernonalexis704]

I'm going thru it some mechanics are clueless but know what they charge

[@Inbreak666]

Happened to my 2009 Mondeo a few years back also. The entire hose at the back connection was burnt completely off. I just replaced both hoses with transparent silicone hoses. Still works perfect.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

boom sorted

[@bajalal8977]

What is max temperature those pipes should be able to handle? I am not able to find one for mye car. It is Volvo v50 d2.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Well found. Had the same problem myself, but with vac lines.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@spice3767]

What cleaning fluid do you recommend….? Are the in tank ones any good…? Great video thanks 💪💪💪💪

[@shtoksy]

THANK YOU!

[@staceywilliams4933]

This is a great vid 👍Car booked in again on Monday dpf issues. This could be the case. We will see 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

🤞

[@staceywilliams4933]

Nope, it was just super duper blocked from previous owner. 94% blocked 😬Cleaned out now and running like a dream 👌

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff lads, great tip, thankyou:):)

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

Thanks mate

[@sanatandharma4435]

Very useful, I have the same problem on my Grand Scenic lll (engine light on, check injection system, pollution system and cruise control) Renault said its the air intake hose at the front of the engine, another says its the 02 sensor at the back of the engine!! Where are these pipes you are showing please?? Renault Grand Scenic 1.6dci 2014

[@user-hq7ff6kx6b]

Hello, thanks for the video. I have Fiat Bravo 2008 1.6 multijet diesel. The car keeps regenerating way too often even after EGR repair and unstable idle repair (which was from the Throttle body electronics). When I scan the DPF I can see that sometimes it is about 31-38% but also very often there is a log which always states 64% and 107k km exactly. Can it be a fault in some DPF sensor or something stuck in the software? The car has power and good fuel consumption. Thanks!

[@125sm3]

Great advice Leon

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@kiefergrossest4636]

Been diagnosing a mk8 ford transit that someone else has diagnosed as a blown engine but decided to opt for another opinion. Engine will start and run for a few seconds and while it’s running it don’t knock or rattle. If revs are held high the vehicle is able to be put in gear and moved but it hasn’t got any power. The conclusion I’ve come too is that the turbo has failed due too the dpf being blocked but I don’t know as much as I wish I did about dpfs too know what too check and how to carry out the checks to figure out if the dpf blocked due to round town low revs and low speed driving or if something else has failed causing the dpf too block. Reason I’m commenting is that I know your not a KZbin diy mechanic your a knowledgable technician within the motor trade and as a mechanic my self I would rather see if I can get advise from someone who has spent years working on vehicles over any 5 minute mechanics that KZbin has too offer.

[@kenaokonthoujam8409]

yes at the beginning of the day my ford figo 1.4tdci also runs fine but after 1-2km it struggles and runs roughly throughout the day.This happens everyday and I can't solve the problem

[@harrybobs4014]

Quality content as usual 👌🏼

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@tons824]

Will this show as a fault if u run a diagnostic test. Also will the system still perform active/passive regens? Cheers.

[@andypandy9045]

Very common on the focus 1.6tdci 👍 and the vapourisor on the 2.0 and transits , the new shape quasqui pressure sensor pipe blocks up and a pita to get to 🤦‍♂️

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

👍💪

[@Wearenotreallyhere]

At my wits end with a 2013 Ford Transit. £2k in so far and still in limp mode. New glo plugs, new DPF. Off the road every other week

[@scootyman2974]

I didn’t think the PDF’s are so expensive any more. I challenged a Peugeot main dealer about this. £1200 fitted for a Partner HDI. I said nope, I’ll go elsewhere, get one and fit myself. Dealer then say they can supply me a ‘spurious’ one. Ahh you mean a pattern part that’s half the price and comes out the same factory. Yes please! £220 later, four bolts and a play on the laptop later, it’s fixed. £1200 my ar@e! Great video this one. I’m sure at a main dealer that would have been a DPF and a pipe mind.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

👍

[@charlesdale5965]

Impressive. Never overlook the simple and not too obvious. D

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@FlyliteParamotor]

Good work lads, good old school mechanics, look for the problem with hands, eye’s and brain before trusting and just relying upon a computer basically. Big thumbs up from me 👍👍👍

[@Groot80]

Very nice job.

[@Badgertronix]

Top tip mate 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@claywalker9064]

Great tip Leon Thanks - Best fix - Bit of super glue and as they are special pipes - gaffer tape (instead of electrical tape) job done - Boom Sorted LOL Keep safe and well - Best wishes Clay.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Lol thanks mate

[@N269]

I would have thought a replacment hose was the best fix??

[@claywalker2938]

@@N269 - New pipes 🤔- Don't forget this was during "lockdown times when nowhere was open - Probably new pipes would be best but where's the fun in that and think of the expense - 👍🤣🤣🤣Best wishes Clay

[@vdubs6068]

Great Vid Leon 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@TheMcooper17]

good tip my covers are a bit frayed ill need to check them, hoping they are ok

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

👍💪 good luck mate

[@ronaldrice8458]

How does these hoses connect from the dpf to the sensor? Does bottom hose connect to the bigger pipe on the sensor and the top hose to the small pipe on the sensor. Or vice versa?

[@Theo-Edward]

Wear is the dpf hose located? Ive had the problem for a year now, constant alarm going, it used to clear after every long drive but as of last week the dpf warning sign has stayed on. I did think it might be something more to do with a pressure sensor etc as it's been happening for so long with no actual driving problems.

[@superseven220]

I had this on my Mk4 Mondeo around 60,000 miles ago. I replaced the hoses with standard fuel hose and it's been fine ever since

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

👍💪

[@N269]

Yeah, was thinking same. You might also consider exhaust hose, if you can fnd it that small. Marine fuel hose (reinforced/thick wall) would also be appropriate.

[@adriankirk4644]

Great advice, but just where is this pipe, you did not show the removal of it?

[@mazdaman1286]

done loads of these on mondeos also injector blocks up and can be cleaned with welding wire. A real PIA to get out tho very very tight. The pipe is very expensive as well

[@sdgelectronics]

You can get good aftermarket pipes now

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Yes mate it's a nightmare when they get blocked

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Yes mate you just need to make sure you get the exact right pipes otherwise they would just melt on u

[@Jonodrew1286]

👌👌👌👌 Love to know how you first found that fault as a smoke test would not show it up? 🤔

[@ayedoreifig3399]

Is there a tank for the DPF cleaning liquid in a ford focus 2016 TDCI 1.5? And where it is located? Thank you.

[@stevenking1833]

Had to change the pipes on my mk4 mondeo with same code, ordered silicone pipes from ebay for £3.50 and spent 10 mins changing them.... mine gets a good run every day sk no need to force a regen....

[@georgehanganu6754]

Very good tip Leon I would like to see info (what car, age, engine, mileage) on the cars you work on in your videos, it gives an idea on when to expect something like that in this case Thank you for the great videos

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

I mate you can get caught very easy with that Because then you would only look for problems with certain mileage and you might forget and miss problems it's best as to always check it regardless of the mileage

[@jupiteradventure5284]

And also due to wildly different driving styles it wouldn't play out.

[@bfdmanbfd]

I've got a citroen relay 2016 and I'm getting a p2002 Done a reading on it and I'm getting 0 pressure at idle and max rpm Its also showing there is 0g of soot in dpf Eml is on but the dfp light isn't just wonder what this problem could be

Hi my dpf pressure sensor have 2 hoses one of them is not conected and the car is idle at 1000 rpm cant find connection for hose

[@kovrcek]

Lol it seemed all to familiar, the hoses, the sensor. And it was my model of Mondeo! Hoses were changed by the previous owner to thicker more resistant ones, no wonder why, probably destroyed by the heat/soot like in this case. Very very poor design on Ford's part. But DPF overloaded came on my dash. Hoses robust and ok. One hose seemed to not be fully plugged in, so first thought it was this. But the error came again. Then I saw on OBD diagnostic that my pressure sensor is showing basically constant 104kPa. That's atmospheric pressure! So I unplugged both hoses and still the same pressure. Wires measured ok. Hmm tried to blow with my mouth to one end of the sensor and the pressure in diag changed. So it seems the electric connection or SW if fine. Probably just faulty sensor. So I changed it and boom, 0-5kPa ! Problem solved ! Most likely blocked by soot or simply failed.

[@michaelrobinson5592]

What are the name of the pipes should I need replace them? Rookie here.

[@JamesPond-cd3tp]

Here's a question lads.. I found a totally torn dpf pressure sensor hose (one at front of dpf not rear one).. Would this stop a static regeneration from taking place!? Ford s max with P246C P2463 and P2463-C codes.... Soot accumulation etc.. Limp mode. Can't Static regen. Presume it's this torn/useless hose?

[@constantinpascal3907]

I founD on diagnostic DPF TRAP Volvo v50 1.6D 2010 . I want check the pipe like video. Thank you

[@danielp9721]

would these cause turbo to wine and not showing any faulits code

[@robinwells8879]

Some food for though here. I am having repeated dpf warning light issues with my 2011 CRV despite it mainly doing long motorway journeys. The first cleaning lasted 25k miles and then it went again and Honda ?Reset? it and I got 200 miles and nearly home! I had it cleaned again and then 2000 miles. I have had 2 failures after long motorway runs in cold weather and often when I lift off the power from quite a high throttle setting. I shall check pipes and the switch now. I love the car in every respect otherwise but this is getting on my tits now. 🥺

[@gerryhayes6385]

Good tip Leon 😃

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Thanks mate

[@CatNMrDJ]

Hello Sir… Could a DPF (2017 Jag F-Pace Diesel 2.0 US Spec) leak exhaust into the cabin? If the filter inside the DPF canister breaks apart, would it sound like set of Headers? Can one buy the actual filter and replace it inside the canister, or must one buy a complete DPF whole? My F-Pace had exhaust in the cabin. While driving somewhat hard, the quietness instantly changed to the sound of Headers. I looked at the DPF plumbing while the car was lifted and all the pipes are solid. So, I’m thinking that the the filter inside the DPF exploded. Your thoughts, PLEASE. Thank you. Mr DJ
