Cool when he flips the can off at the end, and then the lid too!! I like it!!

[@SCARHEMBROW]

Love this guy and the Dutch Garage ...I'm always learning from you brother ...Cheers!!!

[@davehalst]

Thanks for your video. I though it was worth doing as you said, it saves you a lot of time. 😎

[@naimahmed6147]

Having hard time taking off the o2 sensor, tried using WD40 but still stuck lol. Engine at 50 degrees too

[@Hneel65]

I can confirm that this stuff works. I could read the raw values from the differential pressure sensor and the difference before and after were very clear. (I used another brand though, but I guess they all work the same way.) In my case I took out the temperature sensor on the DPF module to enter the foam.

[@xiaomitelephone845]

i have a Toyota 2.0L D4d 2011. My mechanic told be to buy one of these (i think Wurth) and to put it in the differential temperature sensors (red marking) then you have to force it to go into regeneration mode ( a lot of RPMs >3000rpms for 30'-60' highway driving.

[@frv6610]

It worked against dirty dieselparticulate filter which triggered limp mode, thank you. I injected 2 cans through oxygen sensor opening. Then I used error code reader to erase error code. Now it works as normal. Before it didn't help to only erase error codes.

[@TallDudeSSj]

Nice to hear. I have the same problem where it's stuck in limp mode (vw passat 1.6 Tdi) . I tried one can through the hose of the dpf pressure differensial sensor but the hose there is so damn long that i bet most of the product was wasted in one edge of the filter. I will try like in the video with 2 cans and hope for the best 😅👍

[@frv6610]

​​​@@TallDudeSSj 1 can didn't work. 2 cans in a row worked (maybe 3 cans needed even in your case). I waited 10 min to let it soak into the DPF, I also cleared the limp mode lamp with obd2 tool so car can gear up and then I took it for a highway ride and DPF diode turned off as soon as I reached high speed because the high airflow helped push out the dirt. I used ProMeister DPF Cleaner (not regenerator) because they were on rebate. Good luck.

[@TallDudeSSj]

@@frv6610 nice tips! Thank you! 😁

[@TheDutchGarage]

@frv6610 is it a long lasting fix in your case?

[@frv6610]

@@TheDutchGarage It works long time/still works. It can come back if driving style is not good, for example driving often with gas pedal pushed to bottom with high rev and not let car go to higher gear, this can be interpreted as dirty filter but in this case just inject again DPF cleaner as described above and it should go back to normal. I have Citroen 1.6, it was easy to inject through oxygen sensor hole. Thank you.

[@carbonclinicsalalah487]

can i use this if check engine of o2 sensor comes ? is that effective ?

[@michaelosullivan1892]

Excellent ☘️

[@mabbas8751]

the quick flick in the end is hilarious

[@TheDutchGarage]

Get off my cart!🤣

[@01XBOSS]

❤Thanks

[@TheDutchGarage]

No problem.

Can DPF Regen cause Car Fire? I was doing the Regen for my Vauxhall insignia 2009 & after 15 min smoke appear from the Aircon vent, I was scared and stopped the Regen. It did it job, Reduce sooth from 255% down to 68%

[@ADM_K]

it can. But i think you might have melted the dpf. 68% is still quite high

[@Demirbeg]

Hi Mr Dutch. Am I used to applying this DPF Foam on my 2018 Eclass from the upstream nox sensor please?

[@TheDutchGarage]

You want it close to the top of the filter so the exhaust gasses are pushing it through.

[@mrvic92154]

While using this product through the exhaust system would it harm the catalytic converter?, my car has 130,000 Mi 2013 VW Beetle TDI and I'm getting a code of p2002 add p0401, the engine is spotless and it runs perfectly, thank you for the class I really appreciate it great job

[@TheDutchGarage]

Normally it would be save to use. Check the instructions on the package.

[@azrozekhar]

will that help me for my Audi A1 2012 model, I have the Light with says EPC and engine on, or shall I change everything off the thing and buy new to my car!

[@TheDutchGarage]

I don't know if it would help with that, EPC light most of the time has something to do with throttle body and/or EGR valve. You have special cleaners for those.

[@user-hq7ff6kx6b]

Hello, are these sprays suitable for engines with DPF placed after the turbo, in the front of the engine? Isn't there a possibility for some of the spray to get in the turbo and from there in the engine?

[@TheDutchGarage]

The sprays I know of need to be used in like in the video.

[@oljacoric1274]

Don't play with turbo, it is easy as you can see, on my car is very simple.

[@waleskhan-qr9mv]

What’s the black socket you’ve used with the notch that fits around the sensor wire? Thank you

[@TheDutchGarage]

It's a o2 sensor socket. You can get them fom amazon, ebay or local part shop.

[@waleskhan-qr9mv]

@@TheDutchGarage are they all one size for all vehicles? As I’ve got a Peugeot partner tepee and it looks slightly smaller.

[@TheDutchGarage]

22mm is the most common one.

[@sotoandres1985]

After doing this i got error codes, engine light and glow plug. Is this normal? The car works fine when i drove with it after doong the spray thing.

[@guydent9046]

i thought you were supposed to spray it when the DPF was hot and the engine is running.

[@zdravohello]

Is it 1.5 engine 110 hp? I need to find O2 sensor to do the same thing but I am not sure where to find it.

[@TheDutchGarage]

It is the 1.5 engine, hp I don't know.

[@Hotshotveteran]

Would you recommend using this product on 6.7 L Cummins?

[@TheDutchGarage]

The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work.

[@cyberbob4111]

honestly I cannot imagine how any can spray product wants to remove 100+ grams of ash and sooth, hardened like stone by prematurely stopped regenerations. For all of this you need very high temperatures to melt the sooth and high pressure solvent liquids to remove that from the filter. I‘d advise to either consider professional cleaning or alternatively a replacement filter with corderite substrate which is far cheaper as the silicate-oxide and works just as good.

[@TheDutchGarage]

If the filter I indeed to clogged then this probably doesn't help. But I do think it's worth a try. It did work in a couple of cases for me.

[@malcolmyoung7866]

About to do this on my daughters XC90…. First though. Still trying unblock the drains at ‘our’ place.. SHIT HAPPENS…

[@peterbulman7065]

2008 Peugeot 2.7 HDI. DPF faulty warning light is on at start Engine warning light is on & car is in limp mode. What should I do please?

[@TheInvisibleMan1001]

deleting the dpf is your best option

[@cenkcingoz8778]

How often should be used ? (Every 20 k km or ...)

[@TheDutchGarage]

I do it with every big oil change. 20k sound about right.

[@roefuzzdot6974]

Goeie tip om zelf te kunnen doen bij me megane 3. Zou tips en tricks ook wel willen weten voor vervangen gloeibougies 😂

[@TheDutchGarage]

Wees voorzichtig met die gloeipluggen. Ze willen snel afbreken.

[@isrealperez9069]

I just need to know does it clean converter Well this be able to work with non diesel in engine my old car burns oil so my four twenty pop sub I just need to clean my cats

[@TheDutchGarage]

There are cat cleaning agents that you can add to the feul. But remember there is no such thing as a mechanic in a bottle. But it's worth a try.

[@isrealperez9069]

@@TheDutchGarage Have you tried seafoam

[@TheDutchGarage]

@@isrealperez9069 No, I never have.

[@user-tu2nw4ke8c]

What's the name of this product and where can it be purchased thank you

[@TheDutchGarage]

Its from MOTIP I don't think you can get it every ware in the world. But there are a lot of similar products out there. Ask you local parts suppler.

[@guydent9046]

i thought you sprayed it when the DPF is hot and the engine is running

[@GregRepairs]

Hi, can you not spray the cleaner through the pressure sensor hose?

[@ADM_K]

i did and it worked fine. making a video on it. but if you can get to temp sensor on the dpf its even better

[@Hneel65]

I think this kind of stuff is a foam, not a liquid. I'm afraid your sensor hose will get stuck with it. In my case I can't get my O2 sensor off, not even with a tool like in the video. It's just too stuck. So it's tempting to try the sensor hose instead, but I'm not risking it.

[@ADM_K]

@@Hneel65 thats what i done.

[@CARaCARtal99]

You need to do this with a hot engine and the engine needs to be on. And if possible spray via the map / particulate filter boost sensor hose.. and while spraying, a second person needs to press the gas pedal for many times.

[@joachimlarsen2k]

That goes direcetly against the instructions on the can

[@KT-en8pq]

Lol

[@mingtooter]

Lol no

[@user-lt5co8qq1b]

Good tip for u all out there DONT by a diesel car.

[@Athelete1982]

Didn work

[@TheDutchGarage]

That's to bad.

[@wellazwashy516]

This guy can talk 😴😴😴😴

[@TheDutchGarage]

😆 True!

[@alenmihelcic8267]

This not work. From expirience. Sorry.

[@TheDutchGarage]

From my experience it's a bit of a mixed bag. And definitely worth the try.

[@Nodualidaddr]

Can use the exhaust temperature sensor opening for dpf cleaner?

[@TheDutchGarage]

If it is before the filter, then it should be okay
