Product Information

To see the lowest possible price and the biggest possible current savings, "The whole country" must be selected in the offer overview when a job is created. Prior to the conception of DPF filters, those harmful exhaust gasses were being pumped straight out into the atmosphere. Reading the comments here and the main article above, a lot of the statements made are in my experience, are incorrect regarding DPF cleaning additives. Campaigners are voicing complaints to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) regarding the spike in DPF filter removal. Such ads are deemed to be breaking the ASA code of conduct that condones practices that encourage anti-social behaviour. It’s alleged that such ads are exploiting a loophole in the law which clearly states that driving a diesel vehicle on the road without a DPF is an offence, but the actual removal of the filter is not. It is recommended to clean the fuel and oil system every time the vehicle is serviced. This will help reduce particulates and improve engine combustion, restoring lost performance and reducing component problems.

If you have an automatic select the auto second gear position and drive the engine around 5,000 rpm. In a press release from 2 May 2016, FOE air pollution campaigner, Oliver Hayes, stated, “Air pollution is a public health crisis of breath-taking proportions. The dodgy practice of removing pollution filters from cars is not only risking people’s health but also putting drivers at risk of prosecution for the simple fact that it’s illegal to drive a car with its DPF removed.”My Zafira was in excellent condition and may have been previously owned by a very careful driver that rarely revved the engine. No, you cannot have your DPF removed. It’s a legal requirement in the UK and if removed, your car will immediately fail an MOT test. I was put off buying a diesel car for most of the last 10 years as your average mechanic (inc. many main-dealer ones) didn’t have much of a clue about EGR/DPF issues. Their solutions invariably revolved around expensive component replacement or it being ‘time to trade your car in’. Many mechanics, and I, understand how these systems work now as they’ve been around for a good few years, and earlier this year I traded in my (4 month old) petrol MX5 for a diesel Dacia Duster (circumstances dictated the need for a 4 seater).

Engine light came on July ’18 – DPF burn at garage (A) didn’t work – Wurth cleaner used and successful. Glowplug also replaced at this time.I have owned a 2.0 Jtdm Alfa 159 for 3 1/2 years now and have done approx 30k miles with it. After a few months the car went into ‘regen’ with the exhaust rattling and shaking as if it was falling to pieces, then did it again a few weeks later. I then did a bit of forum research and decided to try the Wynns DPF cleaner, after a good run (about 20 miles ) and a higher revs blast there was some dark smoke then some lighter coloured grey smoke blown out and after that I’ve not had another ‘regen’ incident. trust me I’ve cleaned over 500 DPFs successfully, the company as a whole in the 1000s, and trained many dealer techs in the procedure who in turn 10s of 100s. Generally, DPF cleaners begin to work pretty much straight away after being application. Research has shown that vehicles can start to show improved performance as little after 10-15 minutes after the DPF cleaner has been applied. Once you’ve applied the cleaner, you should start to see a noticeable improvement from your car. How Often Should I Use DPF Cleaner? I have been adding this additive roughly every 1500 to 2000 miles for more than 3 years now and can’t praise the product highly enough and feel that I have proved that it ‘works’. Recommended. The engine management system controls it and occurs when the soot load exceeds 45%, typically when the vehicle is driven at more than 70 km/h at a constant speed for more than 10 minutes.

After many many miles (100k) the ash resulting from the burnt carbon may require physical, off the car cleaning. If the DPF filter reaches a certain percentage full level, your car will give you a warning light which will look something similar to the image below (The image will vary between car manufacturer but will generally look very similar) DPF cleaners are suitable for most diesel or biodiesel engines and they may require regular usage to keep the DPF clean. However, if you find that they aren’t as effective as you would expect, go on a “spirited” drive whilst keeping the RPM’s high. You could also drive on the motorway and keep the car in a lower gear whilst travelling at 60 to 70 MPH. This type of driving along with using the cleaner should help to keep it clean as long as there isn’t a fault with the DPF. A DPF system works sitting in between the vehicle engine and exhaust system. It’s a small to medium sized filter which catches exhaust soot and then stores it in the filter instead of it being pumped out of the exhaust and into the atmosphere.The DPF catches soot (carbon) and about every 2000-5000 miles the engine management system will try to remove this by burning it. This can only happen if the car is driven (different manufacturers have slightly different strategies) on a fastish road above about 40-50mph for about 20 mins. If you don’t do this then at some point the car becomes desperate for a regen and may try and get some carbon burnt at less than ideal conditions. If this does not happen then at some point there is too much carbon and it could damage the substrate if a regen was started.

For active regeneration, the vehicle must have more than a quarter of a fuel tank; otherwise, the mechanism will not be activated. Forced regeneration Here, I provide a two-step guide to regenerating a DPF filer for pennies, without the need for a mechanic DPF Filters have a life of about 100,000 km when they will become saturated with ash. At this point they will need manually cleaning or replacing. Part of Liqui Moly’s Pro Line of products, the German branded Liqui Moly DPF cleaner takes our top spot. Liqui Moly claim it’ll dissolve hardened, dense and encrusted contaminants on the surface of diesel particulate filters ensuring optimum performance at all times.

Our advice would be to use a good quality DPF cleaner to keep the system clean and also to ensure your car is treated to a decent run out allowing the system to do what it needs to do.
