So just two bottles and it cleaned it. And btw I did just hold pedal on 3000 rpm for 20 min without computer, but I bought this Icarsoft one it arrives next week. So good luck to everyone!

[@drsoot9760]

I have 2009s with 140k plus miles, DPFs have not stopped up yet. That code that is in your van is because the van isn't doing a complete regen on its own. To do a manual regen you need a snap on solus and or the xentry connect by Mercedes. But if your DPF is truly clogged up, look into the BG products. I've been using there stuff for the last 2 years. They just released there DPF cleaning machine.

[@nigeltindall1446]

really helpful video thanks mate. After flashing up the DIY spray unit over 2 years ago, I have finally gotten to use it. We've been experiencing the "flashing" engine light and error codes P242F, 2080 and P2BAC more frequently recently, so got the job done today. Heaps of smoke out the exhaust running at 2,500 RPM which signals to me the Liquid Moli has done the trick successfully. The only thing that needs doing is clearing the codes, but I'm very unsure as to whether our device (OBD2 CarScanner) is going to be capable of doing that. We'll see. Hopeful that's the case, as I want to avoid having to take it into a Mercedes dealer, as I know that they're going to charge like a wounded bull!

thanks buddy really appreciated

[@launchbenz2242]

I suggest taking dpf off car.Use one or two rubber gloves and plastic tie to seal front DPF. Use some Dpf cleaner,i used Wynns 5l. Left soaking overnight,sometimes gently moved the Dpf.Next day I emptied dirt,used fresh dpf cleaner again,used tap hot water to take that dirt out of dpf then i used Work Hydroshot from both sides hot water jet.The result was amazing.A lot of dirt came out DPF. HOWEVER,my real problem was broken bolt from intake manifold.Resetting Dpf again and again didn't work.I performed a pressure test on intake and I heard air leak from intake manifold. I replaced the manifold and all good since.No engine light again. When I reset P2279 for Air intake leak and P2463 for DPF soot 400%.Somehow P2279 didn't came back but actually that was my problem. Never trust scan tool when gives you values like DPF soot accumulation 400% or 350%.That's is false value and send you in wrong direction. Cheers!

[@andreytymchuk5618]

The factory manual says that if you do short trips , take your sprinter on a freeway for at least 15 min once a week so the van could do a regeneration cycle. At about 10k I had the same thing happened to me as far as the rpms go up and check engine light go on . Freeway driving dropped the rpms down without manually cleaning it with a cleaner and perch. And then a guy at our warehouse reset the check engine light by using just sprinter on board computer( I beleive there is a video on youtube on how to do this). Another very important thing is the fuel you put in. Some gas station dont have a lot of diesel vehicles come thru , so the fuel is not"fresh" . Since that 10k indecent I fuel up only at stations where they have a lot of semi trucks go thru so the diesel gets filled up daily. Right now I am at 93k and have not had any problems with the exhaust yet.

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Andrey Tymchuk yes I agree that's why FedEx and UPS Sprinter break down a lot because they don't run it on high speed and it also helps if you tow a boat or a trailer it helps the degeneration to be better because the higher RPMs

[@svolk2921]

Andrey Tymchuk So you fill up your Sprinter at truck stops cuz fuel is "fresh " ? You use B20 biodiesel then

After doing this, make sure u change the sensor then go to the highway and drive it rough meaning speedy so it will sneeze out all the junks, etc. Sprinters are not made for the city after this DEF added to the US Benz, so u must drive your Sprinter full speed once a week at least on the highway.

i just had the same thing happen to me when i bought my 2014 sprinter from a private sale. This means your DEF is leaking and it will burn your o2 sensors and other sensors.

Countdown is triggered by the DEF system. A low level of DEF, bad DEF heater, bad dosing valve or bad NOx sensors will trigger a countdown. If it does go to 0 starts or start not possible, a reset is required, but only after the repairs have been completed.

Hi, it looks to me like you referred to the DPF as the muffler and then went right past it and cleaned the CAT. I guess the only reason this might work is that the fluid got blown back to the DPF when you started it. But your van is brand new so why are you doing this anyway? Confused!

[@hvacexpressservices]

To find the right can NOT THE "CAT " -DPF filter have a 2 metal tubes -approximately 10 mm.diameter attached to it. One is at the beginning of the filter and other is on the end behind the cleaning media/filter inside.The ECM monitors the pressure differential between in tube and out tube trough pressure monitor sensor.If you follow those 2 metal pipes you will reach to pressure monitor sensor in the engine compartment somewhere .Malfunction of the sensor also will set error code P2463 and eventually in limp mode.Also cracked rubber hose connectors to the sensor may set the ECM in P2463 -check that first and than go further with cleaning procedure.

the computer gave me a warning that i had to clean it

Bien joué

Muchas gracias 👍😉

I have a 2019 sprinter, it has a def. Can you explain what it means that it will clean itself?

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

clean it self means it goes thru a regeneration using you diesel to heat up and bur it out thru the muffler ,it does that often as needed , but wen is really bad you have to clean it

[@recardo12212]

How often do you clean it

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

@@recardo12212 the van computer will tell me wen it need to be clean

[@theroadwarrior577]

Would this also help clean the scr catalytic converter

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

not sure about that

[@Dima-jq3mj]

Catalytic converter doesn't get clogged usually since it doesn't trap or deals with solid particulates, but gas particulates. DPF deals with solid particulates (soot), SCR/DEF deals with gas particulates (Nitrogen).

[@CleaningMyGun]

I'm confused. Shouldn't the engine automatically go into regen mode and burn off the garbage in the filter. Then the truck should automatically reset itself. Ram Eco-Diesel does this.

[@AlexMHoulton]

He mentions in the text on the screen at 10:30 that the newer Sprinters will do an auto regen. I believe if this is the 2007 model, it was the first year that the DPF system was introduced.

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

The computer or the van does it whenever it wants that's why I was fortunate to do it so that way it cleans it

[@Dima-jq3mj]

Yes, but it is just a matter of time until the DPF will get clugged, especially if most of the regenerations happen at slower/city speeds. The vehicles that are driven mostly at highway speeds will have less issues with the DPF system vs the ones driven in town and idle a lot.

[@BrogeKilrain]

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Not sure about those codes buddy

[@Armenian]

too bad they dont make a gas turbo model for the sprinter. seems like too much maintenance with these blutec machines at a cost of not being able to.use it for short trips and idling.

[@mercedessprinterdiy8556]

Armenian i know i agree, but the diesel engine are great but i dont like the DEF System. i dont know how the FedEx driver do with constant stop and go

[@Bra55Monkey]

Gas engines are cheaper upfront but with the bad fuel mileage it's not worth it. Diesels last forever too.

[@arthurr8670]

The new diesel engines aren't holding up like the old ones. My work has a sprinter van with all new emissions parts at 98k miles, luckily for the 100k emissions warranty. The cost of repairing these engines is too high. The old versions of these engines were good, but they didn't have as much emissions controls. The Ford Transit does offer a turbo gas engine, which I think will last longer than these Mercedes engines.

[@skylinefever]

Well, good thing you can buy a Ford Transit Ecoboost, which has a twin turbo gasoline V6.

[@enjoymusic4895]

after cleaning, i dont have to reset the fault code in the ecu because it will update itself everytime i turn on the vehicle.

[@Mx_Trend_Suspension]

I had the same problem, cleaning the EGR valve seemed to help. Also look for water in the fuel filter. There is a water drain that is connected directly to the fuel filter. The fuel filter itself also needs to be changed every 20k miles.

I’m having the same problems but I’m thinking about just deleting the whole DPF Idk if it’s a good idea or not

When soot content is to high the DPF doesn’t need cleaned, it just needs regenerated, only when ash content is to high does it require cleaned. The DPF should regenerate automatically unless there is a warning light on then it won’t. I work for Mercedes commercial and see this everyday
