There could be a problem with the dpf pressure sensor been contaminated with the cleaning fluid with the last clean when the sensor goes faulty can show strange readings i would change have checked the sensor or replaced it also checked the the two pipes going from the sensor to the dpf for any blockade these vans regen at around 15g soot
Hi great video I've got anti pollution light, injection system light on. Been re genned was perfect for 200 miles, lights on again and holding back while driving. Thank u
Hi Jimmy got one of these with antipoillition fault. Only code is preheating diagnostic connection . Had all glow plugs out and checked em all. All fine. There's only about 7 v going to glow plugs surely there should be 12v. Does that code cause dpf to block up on these? Thanks
68 plate vivaro needing a new dpf, lol, my old 1.9 vectra on an 08 plate still with original dpf working, 279k miles. these vans seem to be made using cheap parts
Not the outcome we expect, but not all clogged DPFs can be cleaned this way. Wonder if an ultrasonic cleaning of the ceramic element could still save it.
If they can't be cleaned this way I wouldn't risk spending the labour to remove it and try to clean to fit it back and find it's no good. I think the subframe has to come off to remove the DPF on these biturbo's
Did the van or the launch tool indicate the van was regenerating? How was you made aware this was happening? Great vids by the way, I will definitely try to log on using my launch software as a Renault not a Vauxhall from now on 👍👍
Love your videos one of the very few who mentions pressure which alot of cowboys don't. Sorry but I don't agree with your view it needs replacing . These dpfs suffer ash and no on car cleaning will remove ash. All on car cleaning only wets the ash and as your video shows will leave pressure in the system resistance via flow . Remove the dpf and flash clean to remove the Ash and dpf will be good. Next video place your fingers up the exhaust and if its clean the dpf is working correctly and does not need replacing only cleaning correctly.
Hi, following your Chanelle for some time. I'm looking to replace my old peugeot partner, 1.9. From what I can see from your work, all the new vans are robish, I want your opinion, is there something reliable? Bigger will be better.. Something like citroen jumpy, renault traffic, or even ducato , master or iveco daily. The German seems more expensive... At least where i live, i dont have rust problems (SPAIN) I don't want to buying new, it's became so expensive this days... Thanks a lot. Nice Chanel. 👍👍
Hi Jimmy, love your videos. Got a Vivaro myself with a similar issue. I've not got a compressor could I use the JLM Dpf cleaner in an aerosol can and get similar results?
How can it be that you so often have Trafics with DPF problems? 👀 Other than in your videos, I have never heard, seen or read about any DPF problems on these vans.
Most vans that don't ever get up to temperature suffer badly, for example people that sit in London traffic on a day to day basis and never go on motorways seem to suffer alot
I worked at a depot where 5/6 of us had Traffic/vivaros and we all had issues apart from 1 guy but can't be certain he didn't. We got rid of them eventually and some of us spent £1,000s. They're not fit for purpose and Vauxhall couldn't fix mine nor did they care.
I used this video as a good guide on my vivaro, I sprayed dpf cleaning into the small pipe there was a blockage and it could gain pressure. flushed with DPF cleaner however the engine wasn't on and now the van won't start at all.. tries to crank but won't fire. can anyone give any ideas to what is going on?
Excellent video Jimmy 👍

It surprises me that the scan tool doesn't have a hold rpm feature
Wouldn't that b wonderful
For 6k for tab3 you'd think so lol

Hi Jimmy , so even if you told/programmed the PCM a new DPF replacement had been fitted this would re occur pretty much straight away ?

@@ORileysAutos Yep, labour intensive and may not work. You are correct Jimmy, as usual 🙂
I know its not aloud but if u delete the dpf and remap ecu will the problem disappear

I don't understand if you're unplugging the differential sensor on this van or some other sensor because you're not referring to the name?
How do you know its doing a regen on its own jimmy
650c in the dpf gives it away
☝🏻
@@Manxlad would normal operation aka not regenerating be say around 300c??
@@TheMattyholt yes

I only record the odd one. Done at least 20 in a week
@@ORileysAutos What is the average mileage per year on these vans you fix?

@@danielseibert4082most dpf i seen him do are from 80 thousand to 160 thousand
What signs would i have if my dpf was blocking? I have this same van with 100 thousand miles on clock 👍🏼
Without a scan tool its not that easy to find out.
you didn't try your acid trick in the DPF......

Remove the glow plugs and turn the engine over for 10 seconds then refit and try again
@@ORileysAutos Thank you very much for the reply! I will try that! Thanks
Well that showed absolutely fuckall good job 😂
My vivaro from 2019 had 4 DPFs so far. ITS A JOKE. thank god its managed by a fleet company.
do you actually use the Launch cleaner, or do you fill the launch bottle up with the wynns DPF cleaner 🤣😆🤫🤔
