Peugeot 308 'Risk of Filter Blocking' DPF Filter Guide & FAP Fluid ANSWER in Part 2 'show more'

[@stevenmarsh7138]

I would say the warning message is being generated by the ecu monitoring the dpf pressure sensor. The reason the glow plug fault code has not come back since cleared at the dealer is the engine is warm and glow plugs have not been required and not been activated. The code will come back when the engine is cold and glow plugs are required to start or the drive cycle calls for a dpf regeneration and the ecu then sees the glow plugs are faulty. Has the glow plug fault been repaired? Otherwise the fault will return.

[@JohnB-2021]

Thank you Steve for your comments. The message was being shown due to the age / milage of the car. I bypassed the faulty glow plug in the glow plug relay.

[@stevenmarsh7138]

Thanks for your reply bypassing the faulty glow plug will only fool the ecu to thinking it is working. The result in doing so will not increase cylinder temperature during a regeneration phase and will not carry out an efficient regeneration.

[@robinmichaelhurley8909]

Thank you for the discussion. As well as my daughter's Peugeot, I have just bought a Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 Cdti. The previous owner spent £1500 at the Vauxhall dealer having the DPF replaced. They also spent a lot of money on ERG valves. It has done 140,000 miles. As soon as a took it to the Polish mechanic, he said the Glow Plugs need to be replaced - laborious starting. Glow Plugs from the main dealer are £135. Four Bosch glow plugs from eBay £35. I bought the glow plugs - hopefully, the right ones. The Polish mechanic then said that it is a two-hour job to replace them. I get the sense that he is reluctant to do it on a knackered old diesel. Presumably, the alternative is just to soldier on or sell the car.

In my case, when I got this particular "warning message", the case was that the additive pump was broken and hence the car failed to regenerate the DPF.

[@JohnB-2021]

Thank you for the info

[@JohnBobbit]

After a year of this the dpf finally stopped cleaning itself. Just paid £280 to have it cleaned and remapped. It was 68% blocked. Warning wouldn't go away no matter how long i drove.

[@JohnB-2021]

That's expensive considering a new dpf is between £122 & £142 including VAT.

[@JohnBobbit]

Is it possible to clear the dpf while revving and not moving? I ask as the warning triangle ⚠️ came on today to say risk of dpf clogging. As the engine was warm enough I simply revved while I was in traffic and the warning light went. Did I fix it?

[@JohnB-2021]

It sounds like it did fix it. It does regen in slow traffic but may regen again soon after.

[@Ozonu]

I drove my Peugeot 308 on highway because I had this error. But the speed was limited at 110km/h all the trip, for around 70km. On the highway, beside the filter clocking error, I saw also engine fault error When I came back home, the engine sounded like a vaccum cleaner. I stopped the engine and for another 5 minutes with the engine stopped the sound was still. What should I do? Do you think my clogged dpf affected my turbo and my engine too? I have 2012 Peugeot 308 1.6 HDI 92Hp

[@JohnB-2021]

What was the error? 30 mph is all you need to do for a regeneration and it lasts less than 10 minutes once the exhaust is hot.

[@KevinStones]

Thank you, that was helpful. I have been looking at Peugeot 308's and I wondered about some of these DPF messages. You get a lot of car for your money and they are comfortable. It's given me some confidence to go ahead. Thanks again

Point 1. from my experience having had several of these cars is not to buy the 1.6 HDi, from any car maker. Peugeot, Citroen, Ford and volvo which run the DV6 engines. The 2.0l engine, DW10 is the best with less issues. Please don't mention adblue, as these cars have noting to do with that. The FAP uses Eolys fluid and there are different types. Point 2. Stay away from the 1.6 HDi.. Point 3. If you have a car with this engine get rid of it or really look after it well. More frequent oil changes, lots of highway running etc...

Some error codes or messages are hold in the cache until the system totally shuts down (2-3 hours after leaving the car). I have had some time before a "Engine break warning" (Wet condition, heavy fog situation for days. I think some sensors gone wet and giving wrong signals) after driving some kilometers and shut down the car for some hours the message was gone (but not before). Also if the additiv (Eloys for FAB Systems) is replaced a counter (and I think a message flag) must be reseted to get rid of the "Additive low" Message (could be that this is also the reason for this message still available.

For those that don't know peugeot and citroen, everytime the fuel cap Is open it injects dpf fluid, so if you fill your tank full your dpf fluid will last longer, if you keep putting £10 everytime your dpf fluid won't last the 100000 to 115000 miles

[@marcelloiacono5709]

hi, is the language also in Italian?

[@JohnBobbit]

How often and for how long should i take this on the motorway? How many revs?

[@JohnB-2021]

The car will carry out a regeneration at anything at or above 30 mph. If you get a message when starting the car, it means it has not been able to complete a regen at least 3 times. A regen takes about 8 minutes. If you know your car, the temp gauge will be slightly higher than normal and the engine will not be as smooth. You could drive for 200 miles without a regen. Or you could get home after a 200 miles journey and the car may start a regen just as you switch off. The clue is slightly higher temp and engine not as smooth.

[@JohnBobbit]

@@JohnB-2021 I don't have any warning messages at all just trying to make sure I avoid problems. I mostly do city miles and my mechanic told me to go on the motorway every two weeks. Some things online say every 300 miles which will take me nearly 2 months to accumulate. And everyone has a different opinion on how many revs and for how long. I regret buying a diesel. Thanks for this video and your reply. All advice is appreciated

[@JohnB-2021]

@@JohnBobbit I posted much on the Peugeot forum with evidence from a scan tool. It takes about 10 minutes for your exhaust to heat up. If your exhaust pressure was building, the car would carry out a regeneration assuming the exhaust was hot. It works fine driving at 30 odd miles per hour in traffic. You could take car on motorway and nothing would happen since you don’t know if the car had regenerated the day before. My car, now sold, came from Nottingham city and the average distance between regens was 75 miles. This became 300 km when I did lots of motorway driving. The only time a car can not carry out a regen is with many short 10 minute journeys or a car at idle for 15 minutes. 20 to 30 mph is all that’s required.

Hi, The fluid is sold in bags on ebay etc, but I would only recommend Peugeot. Give them a call and see how much it costs. The fluid lasts many tens of thousands of miles, I think my car has had one bag and my car is up at 136'000 miles. Every time you fill up with diesel, a small amount of fluid is injected into the tank. If you watched the whole video, I show the tank and bag etc.

[@7Chariya7]

John B thanks for sharing your knowledge on this, you have been a big help indeed. Thank you.

[@JohnB-2021]

Thank you Charitha, you're welcome . The big question for me is, do I get a replacement DPF from Peugeot at the cost of £400 approx or buy a cheap one from a motor factors at less than £200. That DPF will last over 100'000 miles so it needs to be good quality. It would cost many thousands £s to get a newer diesel with low milage. I have just saved £100 because I have just taxed the car again for £30, my previous Peugeot was £130 or more. So I saved £100 this month and £100 last year. So having to pay between £200 and £400 for a new DPF that will last 100'000 miles is not a huge issue because of the low emissions and low tax.

Thank you for your comments Simon. The Peugeot dealer gave me wrong info. The 'risk of filter blocking' comes up for one of 2 reasons. 1/ The car could not carry out a regeneration because the journeys were too short. (try driving car for 20 minutes) 2/ The dpf is has high milage and at the end of its life, time for a new dpf £116 I had a new dpf fitted, it failed within 2 years and had another fitted. (see end card in above video) 4 new glow plugs fitted last year. New turbo last week Feb 2021. Again see card at end of video, don't buy a one piece cat & dpf.

I'm just baffled lol Many thanks simon

[@JohnB-2021]

@@ALTNABREAC-UNCOVERED HI Simon, If you have reset the dpf / told the ECU it has a new dpf then the only reason for ‘risk of filter blocking’ is the car has not regenerated or not completed a regen. I have a buzzer with a bright blue led since I don’t always see the led flashing. Rather than checking the soot levels, check the pressure. If you’re getting readings over 120 mBar when you accelerate hard, your dpf is loaded with too much soot. A high pressure reading usually invokes a regeneration. If your pressure levels are good and you get a turbo under-boost, it may well be the turbo is sticking with soot but that is not related to the dpf. I replaced my turbo last week after having an intermittent under-boost all the time I have owned the car. Check my Turbo diagnosis video from last week and DPF repair guide from 8 months ago

[@JohnB-2021]

Hi, Since you mentioned ‘city driving’ I assume you were driving faster and maybe for longer out of the city. That means the dfp would have not been regenerating too often. The dpf will regenerate in as little as every 75 kilometres in city driving compared to every 300 + kilometres out of the city. The dpf regen consumes lots of extra fuel. This is my only thought.

Another way one can tell if the car is regenerating is when the temperature gauge rises to more than usual. The car will not drive as smoothly when a regen is active. My fuel ‘remaining’ drops during or after a regen too, 20 odd miles or more is lost. The 308 is not a great city car. However my 2009 was clean enough to drive into Paris before the lock down.

Hello John.. Also when i Start car this message comes up Peugeot 308 from 2011 year… can i drive in 3rd gear above 3000rpm for 10-15m or i need to drive in 4th gear above 3000rpm?

[@JohnB-2021]

Hi Drone Recon, I have a bleeper and LED connected to my car. When the automatic regen starts, it also turns on the heated mirrors and heated rear screen. Many times I have nearly got home and the bleeper sounds 4 times and my LED starts blinking. For that reason, I drive for another 8 minutes, minimum, and wait for the LED to go off. (Usually 8 minutes to complete a regen) Because Peugeot didn't fit a warning light, we have no way of knowing if we have stopped the engine in the middle of a regen. If you make short journeys for less than 10 to 15 minutes, the regen will never happen. That is why I fitted my system. Drive the car until the engine is hot. Drive for 15 minutes, once the engine is hot. That should ensure the 8 minutes is given for the regen. A regen will work at any speed and will even start at idle in town traffic. A faster drive is better since the burnt soot is being forced out faster with the increased engine revs.

Flooring it causes more soot and fills the dpf sooner.

[@taffy7hfa897]

Or....remove DPF, position a 4ft scaffold tube centrally against the filter material whilst holding both upright , smash the bottom of the scaffold tube on ground until the filter is "speared" all the way through, remove scaffold tube from DPF and re- fit "modified" DPF to vehicle, problem solved, forever.

Until one gets an MOT and the new 2018 checks will fail a modified car. (With good reason to do so)

[@markthompson1134]

do you have to delete anything just knock a hole in and thats it top and bottom of filter

[@waltherziemerink]

Just remove dpf...problem solved. My kuga TDCi had the dpf replaced 3 times by dealers. When the engine light came on again, I said screw it and took the dpf out and blocked the Egr....25k km later and just smiles. The engine is a peach without a dpf.

[@JohnB-2021]

Well that's great for you, just no one else who has to breathe. Your car would also fail an MOT in the UK.

Bullshit solution for cheap inconsiderate arseholes.

Peugeot don't always know what they are about. Peugeot's are always showing stuff on screen. Most is just electronic gremlins.

[@JohnB-2021]

I don't believe they are gremlins, we just need to understand what is happening and when, something I am still doing many years on.
