How to do a manual DPF regeneration

Same problem happened with my 2003 vauxhall astra 1.7dti. Bought it from an old guy who used it for very small commutes. Only did around 500 miles a year. Dpf was blocked to the point where in every gear it wouldnt rev past 2.5k rpms and was so slow getting there. I didnt watch any videos on it but i just kept on pushing the car to red line in every gear. At first it pushed out tuns of black smoke but after doing that for around 30 minutes the car started driving normally and the problem was fixed. Ive not had a problem with the car since and it runs butter smooth. So i can vouch for this video. This method really does work!

[@karwankarwanko6603]

So you have to do this in evrey gear until the left arrow reaches 5? And then going back from first gear to the last gear half hour long? Or do you have to do this once and maintain driving 30 minutes long ride?

[@MrGrtx]

gearedeagle I doubt the dpf was blocked on the astra 2003 because it doesn' have one it has a catalytic converter

[@lambainfotainment]

I came across this video yesterday after the check engine light went on. I did exactly as you described here and the check engine light went off after 10-15 minutes drive. Thank you very much. It was quite helpful. From now on i will do regular manual DPF regeneration :)

[@robertharris8912]

I had a power problem and then a 'soot filer is full' message on the dashboard. After seeing this video, I was able to spend about 20 minutes in the car on ordinary country roads, typically between 3k and 4k revs, and it worked! Great video, and thanks for the tip!

[@keithbaker3405]

Diesel particulate filter regeneration is not obtained by "blasting it out". The DPF has back pressure sensors fitted, when the ECU determines that the filter is becoming clogged it illuminates the warning light. To regenerate the PDF you need to hold the vehicle speed between 50-70 mph, this massively increases the DPF temperature and the ECU then goes into regenerate mode and injects diesel on the exhaust stoke. The unburnt diesel enters the combustion area just before the DPF and is ignited which raises the DPF temp considerably which burns off the contaminants. While driving between 50-70 mph it is important that you do not stop or slow down or the whole cycle has to start again. If the PDF is badly blocked, PDF cleaner should be added to the fuel which reduces the diesels combustion temperature and helps to ignite the fuel in the chamber at a lower temperature. Revving the nuts out of a diesel engine to 5k does nothing but harm. The whole business about diesel engines being bad for the environment in the instance of London is pure claptrap, the exhaust gas from my 2.9 ltr diesel is cleaner than the air passing the air filter. Most of London's pollution is made by poorly maintained public service vehicles....take a look at the next bus or black cab you see pulling away and watch the clouds of blue/black crap coming from the exhaust. The modern private diesel engined car is just being used as a Councils cash cow. London's pollution wouldn't have anything to do with Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, Heathrow and City airports operating a plane stack directly above would it by any chance?

[@mayk3lll]

If you think revving it does nothing big harm then speak to blokes that have diesel powered industrial equipment. They have a mode to burn contaminants off the dpf which does exactly that. Rev the engine at a certain rpm for about 40minutes

[@keithbaker3405]

@@mayk3lll I don't think...I know! I have 46 years in the automotive industry, starting as an apprentice then becoming a fully skilled vehicle technician (not a parts fitter or mechanic). I then went forward to own various businesses in the field of mechanical and body repair....so I might just know a little bit more than "a bloke down the road"!!! For you information, revving an engine to high revs isn't bad for a petrol or diesel engine isn't bad...when the engine is under load. Revving a engine to high rpm's while not under load is.....it's also worth noting that most diesel engines red line at between 3500-4000 rpm's and so revving a diesel engine not under load to 5000 rpm's is extremely bad! It is bad enough that the UK ministry of transport test revs the diesel engine to it's max governed rpm three times in a row to measure the exhaust gases....but it is only held there for a few seconds each time to obtain a stable reading and not 40 minutes!!!!

[@mayk3lll]

@@keithbaker3405 i didnt say car so i dont think the ministry of transport is going test industrial equipment. 2. 40 minutes is for the dpf burn off, you dont burn anything off if certain temps arent reached. 3. I totally agree not to rev an engine while not under load, i understand that causes damage. 4. While not being exact with rpm i also do understand diesels dont rev high, i was just generalising as you stated 5krpm. My point here was simply that diesek powered industrial eqpuiment have a dpf burn off mode that rev tge motor for about 40minutes. Cheers champ

[@SW38MP]

I think it is time to make the DPF structure easier to clean. It is not eco-friendly to use special equipment and solvents forever. The manufacturers should change the DPF structure so that it is as easy as replacing the engine air cleaner.

[@mrvic92154]

I was thinking the exact same thing why can't they just engineer a certain type of filter you can just pop out and pop in because all this regeneration stuff is just bull crap

[@chrisformby3039]

FYI, you're not doing 60mph if you're being passed by wagons.

[@Altair885]

Rather than risking possible engine damage or a breakdown, it would usually be better to remove the DPF and wash it out. You can either have this done professionally for a cost, or you can do it yourself for a the price of a couple of dishwasher tablets and a few grams of oxalic acid powder that you mix into water. Plenty of videos on KZbin showing how this can be done, and if you don't rush it's just as effective as the professional service you pay for. Don't forget that a DPF is usually only blocked as a result of a mechanical fault. Performing a regen, forced or otherwise very often only buys you some time before it becomes blocked again. An investigation and a series of tests should be carried out to ascertain the cause of the blockage. Under normal driving conditions a DPF would be expected to last at least a hundred thousand miles before any intervention would be necessary. Basically your DPF is a filter, every time the engine wants to emit soot the DPF catches it to be burnt off safety during a passive regeneration cycle during driving. However if your car emits more soot than it should then the DPF will soon start to clog up as the regen cycles never remove 100% of what they capture. Obviously the dirtier the engine is running the faster it will clog. There's a myriad of reasons why the engine might not be running as cleanly as intended. Such as: poor servicing (dirty oil or clogged air filter), blocked engine breather system or faulty psv valve, EGR system fault, mechanical wear, turbo system fault, fuel delivery system fault, such as worn injectors. And one that's thing that's often overlooked, glow plugs! Without these functioning properly the engine is not able to perform a passive regeneration cycle, they are required to ignite the diesel that is injected during the exhaust stroke in order to heat the DPF to a sufficient temperature to burn off the soot etc. So as you can imagine there's often considerably more to take into account than simply the DPF itself!

DPF, reduces NOX.... DPF regeneration needs a decent 20min constant run.. or on mitsubishi trucks it has a button that for 20mins will do a forced regen that holds the revs at 2500 ish

[@Coombsly]

A dpf doesn’t reduce NOx, it manages soot. A NOx, SCR catalyst manages gases.

[@alexhickey5633]

The dpf is a name put on the whole unit the dpf is in. It also houses the scr, doc (and mixing chamber if equipped with adblue)

[@MrFahadaziz1980]

This DPF problem is a pain in the back side. Above 40 mph and 25000 rpm for about 20 minutes is more than enough for a regeneration. And regeneration can also be done just on an idle car through the vcds.

Wait for it, its about

[@keithbaker3405]

All depends on vehicle manufacture. Peugeot/Citroen (and some other manufactures) from around 2000 onwards use some form or other of "Fap" or "Dpfs" system where a separate tank or bag reservoir holds a very expensive regen fluid which is injected into the common fuel rail via a separate injector and controlled by a ECU. The refill of the tank unit is part of the service schedule. Other cars such as my Jaguar do not use this system but works by over injection. Either way, providing your journey's consist of a regular uninterrupted 50-70mph run of around 15-20 miles you shouldn't have any problems. Just using the car for low speed, low journey distances and you will have to go through a DPF regen routine!

[@jontownsend6451]

Same here pal, got a mk7 Golf GTD, driven normally, no issues. If it starts a regen when i get parked up, i will hold the revs at 2000rpm, letting it complete the regen. I have a scangauge connected to the obd port. This reads exhaust gas temperature, around 2000rpm it is at its highest, higher rpms the temperature decreases due to high air inflow.

[@davespooney8472]

jon townsend - it’s a good system on this year VW’s. My 11 plate Passat CR170 is on 185k miles and no issues with the DPF.

I have to do this periodically with my 150ps Zafira 1.9 cdti. Eventually large clouds of black smoke come out and then everything settles down back to normal. Using premium diesel fuel (yes expensive I know) whilst doing this helps. Being sure the timing chain/belt is good is essential !

[@BLACKJOWKA]

Top man. Thanks

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Turn the heater to cold, you want that heat in the engine not the cabin. How the regeneration works is the ecm injects fuel on the exhaust stoke, that fuel ignites in the exhaust & raises the temperature to 600°C plus which in turn burns all the soot that has been caught & trapped in the DPF. Heavy acceleration produces more soot due to unburned fuel. What is worth knowing when owning a DPF equipped diesel vehicle is does the ecm detect that the system is getting blocked using a differential pressure reading or does it just automatically regenerate based on fuel usage & or mileage ? If it’s a system that just does regenerations at set intervals then the blasting around in low gears is a waste of time, money & you are blocking the DPF more than it is already IF the system is not ready to regenerate. VW TDi engines now have the DPF close enough after the engine that when the engine is up to normal operating temperature the exhaust is hot enough without the need of post combustion fuelling to burn out the soot.

I got a few cars and when someone driving diesel cars with the dpf pottering around town low RPM because car makers in the "Infinite wisdom" keep diesel engine rpms below 2000. Which is good for fuel economy but kills the DPF as it never gets hot enough. I've taken what the mechanics basically said you need a DPF replacement bud. Vehicle in limpmode DPF almost blocked to a point where the car was hard to start. "Mind you old bird" 200k miles. It capacity to hold ash probably getting to it limit as well. Filled it up with DPF cleaning agents 2 bottles of it as prescribed in the tank and the went on a long highway speed road trip 9 hours.... Got back to base it didn't do shit so I thought & went through an entire tank of diesel plus 2 bottles of this garbage "I thought". Next day though I filled up the tank again with 1 last bottle at the concentration for maintenance. Drove it to the shops still in limp mode & still no turbo... It was that bad but still it wasn't final stages of "Limp mode" where it would limit speed up to X & 3000rpm max. I could still go to whatever speed the engine gave me rpm up to 4k. Got back in the car from the shops and out of the parking lot at the traffic light i notice the DPF light flashing then it turned off and the light turn green. Normally I just plant my foot all the way down because been reduce power it takes the foot been planted all the way down to just move it. This time when I did that the vehicle wheels spin out and launched! Cleared the blockage. Mechanics wrote it off but I didn't.

I assume this is one of the cars that won't get back to the customer - at least, I hope not. What this dodgy mechanic doesn't seem to realise is that while short journeys or bad driving can cause some DPF issues, a badly blocked DPF is almost always hiding another engine issue - injector problems, turbo issues, oil consumption or even just O2 sensors getting on toward end of life causing 'rich' fuel mixture (yes, you can have that on a modern diesel). Ruining the engine like this to try and burn the soot out of the filter won't address the underlying issue - so the car will simply be back again. . .assuming the engine doesn't blow up first after being driven like that.

ORRRR stick some DPF cleaner in the fuel and thrash it down the parkway or motorway that will sort it much quicker than high revving it.

[@vyrgozunqk]

Don't do it, in some cases the dpf cleaners burst the temps so much that you can burn therough the DPF walls or the insides.

[@yahyaraje]

Removed my dpf 3 years ago. Never looked back since, no issue with Mot, no constant big repair bills in forcing a regeneration. If you keep doing local trips it will clog up over and over again

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Anon Anon yes I totally agree with what you are saying but the law changed and if the mot garage suspect it’s been removed it fails the mot

[@MN-lu1tk]

Thank you better air quality

[@williamthomson7820]

I thought if you removed a DPF the car would automatically fail an MOT test, FACT and your insurance would be invalid!

[@brodiefoster3872]

Did you have to get it remapped after you removed it?

[@darkcheq]

@@brodiefoster3872 you have to reprogram your ECU without it.

Are you in Huddersfield that look like Halifax old road 😊

Reset learned soot quantity des first on snap on scanner then carry out static regen with scanner

[@kolasillers7776]

I tried driving Citroen Berlingo to clear it but car threw me in limp mode.

[@kennethtalbott2233]

great video, sometimes you have to thrash em.

[@BN-lu3hb]

Is it safe to do this if the glow plug light is flashing?

[@LewisHamilton-de8pf]

Yeah this happens on my Zafira

[@mnshp7548]

could just drill out the dpf and never worry about wasting fuel and time again while getting abit more power

[@claudiosantana2405]

If you drill it is gonna affect on next mot?or should be ok?

[@mikemiller9119]

It’s because of that city. You can’t get going long enough to heat up the exhaust. You guys have a round a bout every half mile

[@MasLinks]

I guess an EGR clean before this and an oil change after from forcing all the soot and fuel past the rings🤷

Yep, that's what I thought!

[@garytivnan5937]

Did someone actually pay for this to be done 😂🤷‍♂️

[@nathanreid2974]

yea

[@TheWhiskeyMan-rk7qv]

@@nathanreid2974 Lol. Anyone can rake the tits out of their vehicle. Why pay someone else to do it. I myself do a lot of town driving in my Jaguar XF diesel. Every once in a while to tackle the build up in the DPF, I just take it for a speedy 15 minute blast up the dual carriageway during the early hours of the morning. 😁👍
