Why? DPF Forced Regeneration Failed 3 Times? Do I Need New Particulate Filter? P2463:00-AF

explanation of why I see so many failed forced regen attempts.
General rule is all engine related faults must be fixed and clear before dpf will regenerate.
faults here were...
P2463 Particle filter soot accumulation
P253F:68-AF Engine oil deteriorated
P0671:00-2F Glow Plug Cylinder 1
open circuit
P0672:00-2F Gow plug cylinder 2 circuit
P0673:00-2F Glow Plug Cylinder 3
P0674:00-2F Glow Plug Cylinder 4

Modern diesels last 7/8years use glow plugs not in the same way as before , they are used in the diesel injection cycle during normal driving as injector control has evolved , any deteriation of injectors or cylinder sealing will have a huge effect on particulates , an aging DPF will suffer greatly as efficiency drops . yes you are very much correct with this video,

I worked in an MOT station for around 15 years and to be perfectly honest they used to take dpf problems on which i didn't agree with because it was a forced regeneration and 50% of the vehicles used to come back, i said one day why not send the customer to someone who will clean the dpf properly and he looked at me like im a di**head because it clearly about money, i think it's much better to send it to someone who knows what they doing and they have good knowledge. personally i'd say someone like you would do a much much better job, i'll admit you've educated me

What would it take to get you to come to Poland to fix my Dodge journey 2.0 diesel engine. Have you ever been to Krakow?

[@jamesbarratt593]

Its a monent when the vehicle can stop driving if glow plugs not changed. People ignore the knackered glow plugs and then the engine is both harder to start but also puts out more pollution because its not as effective at using the diesel to make a bang. So scan tool wont let the regen happen until they fixed. Then after so long as a bucket load of other readings are right too, then the regen should happen.

Hello. You are saying that after DPF forced regeneration, oil change must be performed. Why so? What is the difference between normal DPF regeneration and forced regeneration (for oil quality)?

Forced regenerations add extra fuel that gets pass they piston and contaminates the oil

No theses probably don’t have add blue just diesel exhaust fluid instead. Changed at about 100k or so. Diesel exhaust fluid and add blue are two different systems. One doses into fuel tank automatically and the other directly into the exhaust system. If the car is 2017 onwards it will have one of these in the uk that is.

Jimmy if you would be so kind to answer this please 🙏 I’ve done the double flush & lowered the Differential Pressure from 4.5kPa down to 2.3kPa at idle, & at 3,000 Rev’s it went down to 12.0kPa at idle, so still high but I’m unable to give it a final good run as I’ve no MOT on it. So what’s the best way forward now? I’m guessing just reset the soot percentage & tell it it’s got a new DPF Then do a static Regen? it’s still also in limp mode.

I'm not an expert but those who claim to be say it's about ten to twenty minutes (some say longer, 40 minutes) at 2000 rpm on the revs fairly regularly but it's not clear how often but I think your idea sounds probably a fair guesstimate.. Some say you don't need to actually move the car it's just the revs that count.. But others say it's safer to actually drive the car to avoid overheating of components

[@fortzosu09]

I also have a problem with the dpf filter in the sense that due to the low temperature outside the filter it does not reach a temperature higher than 250 degrees and regeneration cannot be done, I did forced regeneration while driving with the carista and in vain that the ash still does not fall from the deposited filter at this moment I have 27 grams of deposited ash, what can I do in this case?I want to mention that no car error code appears on the tester
