My mate was going to try this on on his van .guy told him to use brick acid Probably the same stuff Most of the people I know have have dpf delete Great video mate 👍
I used brick acid it worked really well, had the car into main dealer and they said pressure was so low he thought it was a new DPF! I soaked it for about 30 mins off the car and the amount of ash was really surprising! Great video sir Tim :-) keep up the good work
Obv need to fix why it blocked in the first place otherwise it’ll just block again. Another thing to note is if the DPF is high up in the vehicle it is worth having the engine running as less risk of the fluid from the can back filling the engine - perhaps put only a little in before starting the engine. Brick acid is always a good Plan B if the traditional cleaning doesn’t work. Anyways people, keep those feet tapping…..
@@davyarthurs yes and no. Usually if a DPF persistently blocks up then it’s due to a fault causing excessive soot or preventing regens, but over time a DPF fill with ash regardless of any fault and regens won’t clear it. When the ash content gets high the DPF will block up easier and have to regen more often. The car is running sweet and there are no faults on the car causing it not to regen, but there was when he got it about 4 years ago. The thermostats were stuck open. More recently there was an issue with a boost hose leaking but mainly the car had just been doing short journeys and went into limp dick mode for blocked DPF a few weeks ago. After a drive it did a regen and went out of reduced power but was still saying that the back pressure was high on diag, but not too high so that it reduced power or any notification to the driver. Another regen may have cleared it, but I think this stuff has done a decent job and wasn’t expensive or hard to do. I think brick acid may be tried in the future. It’s what I wanted to use, but it’s my dad’s car and after doing his own research this is the stuff he chose to try. The cat now drives great and definitely isn’t down on power though.
@@davyarthurs haha yea. Tbh all this is stuff I should have mentioned in the video! The thermostats sticking open are the main culprit for dpf issues on these
Not using proper oil for your engine, can built up ash inside DPF. Blocked DPF will lead to turbo problem. Also, just an advice for others. Do not push your diesel while the engine is cold and on the short journeys
I always said I’d do that if it was mine, but tbh I’m planning on getting one of these 335d but an e91 in the near future and I’ll keep the DPF in place. Still be getting a GKR remap though hopefully.
Emissions regulations have been killing the benefits of a diesel engine as long as common rail has been about , the two together have made modern diesel engines a disaster.
@@-DC-I agree with the emissions side of it but not the common rail. The ability to infinitely change timing and duration of extremely high pressure injection was a major leap forward for diesel engines. They could tick over smoothly whilst being direct injection and have a massively broader power band with more power whilst being more economical.
@@-DC- really ... do you think so , high pressure pumps injectors that cost the Brazilian national debt , and clog in a heart beat , severe seat blow back and un reliable electronic management all came free with common rail , ask any taxi driver that moved away from a 123 . Obtuse , hardly , its all just fact , now throw in the low compression rings , vertical honing , dpf and egr that comes with ridiculous emission control and regulation and you have the death of diesels , people who think a diesel should drive like a petrol shoulld just be careful what they wish for ,,, in a word , Ingenium. Enough said.
This channel definitely needs more subs!
@@lennonpolo that would be great, but tbh the channel has got way bigger than I ever expected it to,.. and probably deserve 😂
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos No matey, you deserve a lot more, Keep it up!
@@lennonpolo thanks mate. If you’ve any like minded mates who might appreciate my content, please feel free to share it with them! 🤣

Cleaner is great , we use the Fortis one at work and we have had great results with it , its not cheap but its cheaper than the alternatives.
Forte stuff is always good. I was going to try the Liqui Moly originally but this stuff came recommended on the mechanic pages on Facebook
My mate was going to try this on on his van .guy told him to use brick acid
Probably the same stuff
Most of the people I know have have dpf delete
Great video mate 👍
@@ukdroneking brick acid was the one I was going to use originally, but it’s my dads car and he decided to go for this stuff instead. Thanks mate

@@littleratbag1111 nice one. I think if I do it again, brick acid is what I’ll use. Thanks mate
I've read somewhere that brick acid can damage a hot dpf... but if used when its cool works a treat..
Getting scarily close to professional/helpful content boss 👌 miss the days tho when u would just put a train horn on the shitter 😂😂
@@Von_der_Dann sorry about that.
Speaking of which, I actually have an additional horn to put on that shitter when I get chance 😂

@@arthunterns yea DPF need low saps. The oil was changed on this by BMW during a service about 500 miles ago
Interesting shit👌

Gut it and remap

Do more work on your mates Volvo so i can do more on mine 😉 top videos
@@paulgilraine3127 haha I’ve no idea how that shitter is still alive. Every time I see it, there seems to be more of it missing
A blocked dpf is a symptom, not the problem. Not fixing the cause and the blockage will come back.
Have a watch of o’rileys autos
@@GLH8 the boost hose came off a while ago and it’s done a lot of short journeys since.
