Can you do a DPF Regen yourself?
Don’t DPFs clean themselves? In theory, yes. “Passive Regeneration” or if appropriate Active DPF regeneration will take place as part of a healthy diesel engine running cycle, but active regeneration can fail once a blockage reaches a certain level. Sometimes a “forced” regeneration may be carried out by a mechanic.
What should I do if I ignore the DPF light?
You should drive your vehicle for approximately 15 minutes keeping the engine revs between 2000 – 2500 rpm. This is probably best done on an A road. Keep the car in a lower than normal gear (use ‘S’ on an automatic) in order to keep the revs up. What happens if I ignore the light?
How to clear a blocked dpf-3 solution / fixes?
The process of a DPF delete involved the following process: Reprogramme of the ECU to eliminate fault codes, regeneration instruction and unneeded sensor instructions Effectively, what occurs here is that the physical problem of stopping the engine from combusting correctly is removed.
What happens if I remove DPF from my tuner?
In 90% of cases a DPF failure is consequence of another component failure; simply removing the DPF will not resolve origin of the issue and compromise your reputation. The DPF overloading or blocking is as usually a result of the following component failure or issues; Air regulation fault;EGR, and or turbocharger boost circuit issue.
Why does my DPF have no chance to regenerate?
Ultimately, during your short journey drives, the DPF is building up carbon deposits and due to the lack of motorway driving, the DPF has no opportunity to regenerate. When it comes to buying a second-hand or pre-owned vehicle, you’ll complete all of the necessary due-diligence before purchasing.
Why do you need a DPF reset tool?
After many months of hard work collating all of the data required to deliver an easy-touse, hand-held solution, the EEC DPF Reset Tool was born. Why would you need one? The DPF is a filter that removes particulates and soot/carbon from the exhaust gases and is a serviceable item that needs to be replaced at the end if its life.

When to perform a regeneration on a DPF filter?
3. Check that the EGR system is working correctly; 4. Check that the vehicle has the correct specification engine oil; 5. Check the Eolys/Cerine additive (active system); 6. When the DPF filter load reaches a predetermined level, the ECU activates a regeneration process to increase the DPF temperature to over 550˚C.
What is the fault code for DPF failure?
d) If the coil and engine management light is on with loss of power, ‘limp home mode’ will engage with a maximum of 3000 RPM. The fault code will read: ‘DPF soot loading too high’. ‘Forced regeneration’ is now required.
