- What a job! Cleaning the dpf is a pain in the rear end! However, I enjoyed it. This dpf is identical to dpf in Peugeot and DS hence the title. It is very easy to remove and install it. As usual the details are on the video and please if you see error tell us.

You are a noble gentleman to be producing such pioneering public service tutorials. A hard worker too to be driving the taxi as your main work, then doing your own mechanicing to preserve the wages you have earned for your family. You a top fellow, Sir. Kind regards.
Cool 😎 and thank you.
Being mechanic would be a nice career. I will start looking in to it because my son likes engineering. Maybe I could make a good start for him.
8:44 am Melbourne Australia. Great easy to understand instructions
Good job,
I took mine off and then stood it up, filled it up with Mr Muscle oven cleaner
and left it over night.
Hose piped it out the next day and all the crud came out.
That was 5 years ago and the light has just come on again so I know
What I will be doing this week. The same again.
👍Brilliant, I now clean mine every 20,000 miles to keep it in tip-top condition. Very easy to remove and install.
Well done thank you for your video very useful👍
Cool 😎👍
Hi, you are a star, followed your really helpful advice on my old faithful 308 1.6 Hdi (2011) with 56000 on the clock, low mileage as i live less than a mile from work (short journeys) over the last 6 years and the car has been playing up limp mode, warning filter clogged for the past 2 years but has limped on by the rare longish trips & using additives added to the fuel tank every other fill. The issue i had was the car is undriveable after 10 minutes, popping & clanging, preventing me from a long drive, so a couple of months ago it got so bad it took me over half an hour to get home from work, i thought the engine was going to explode, eventually limping down a slight gradient into our drive where it has remained for the last couple of months destined for the scrap heap. I have been walking to & from work for a month as the sun has been out & a month ago i bought my sons cast off, it's petrol so no dpf problems. I came across your video on yt & as i am on holiday from work this week & not doing much i thought i would give it a go as you make it look sooo easssy. it's not!!! it took me longer to get the undertray off than the dpf itself lol... the undertray won't be going back on as 3 bolts have sheared.
I found a large bucket (the wife's planter pot) i've not told her yet lol & put 4 dishwasher tablets, those with the red ball in the middle & filled with hot water, dumped the dpf into that & waited for a while for the tablets to work their magic, whilst waiting i checked out your part 2, follow up video & decided to go straight for the pressure washer after 26 minutes in my dishwasher tab's potion, with great success, as the pressure washer did it's stuff & launched over 10 years of soot over myself, once composed & prepared for the on coming further drenching i was to endure for the next hour, dpf running clear water, i re assembled said dpf & cranked the old girl back into life. No warning lights on dashboard, unusual..... after 20 minutes on tickover i cautiously exited the prison that had been the old girl's grave yard, still with no warning lights on the dashboard, i headed for the main road, my knuckles gripping the steering wheel so tight, waiting for the limp home & engine lights to re appear but for the next 45 minutes drive all was well, i even took a trip on the motorway during this time & the old girl has never ran so well, responsive & behaving herself for a change, i even gave her body a drenching to wash away months of green growth that had built up in places from her standing dormant. Sorry this is a bit long winded, i really want to thank you for taking time to make this guide as it has been a life saver for the old girl / person lol........... A word to people who are in / were in the same boat as i, follow the guidance of this wise man & save your car from the scrap heap......
🤣🤣🤣I've never laughed so hard and loud. You made my day.
All the best, and hopefully, the old girl will hold up for a while.
Good video....I have just done my 2012 Berlingo DPF....I cleaned it but when I had done that I could see into the exhaust part of the DPF that the core was coming apart....I bought a new one for £150....I think it probably is not worth cleaning the old ones given the price and the work involved in removal/refitting.....But good luck to anyone who does it anyway....Refilling Eolys tank is my next challenge.....
Hi, normally the dpf gets damaged if it falls or too many forced regen at made. But all the best, and I made a video about refilling the eolys tank, you will need to get it plugged in and go to special functions and reset it.
Great job 👍💯
Very easy, so I clean it once every 6 months.
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs thanks for making this video. Do you think I would be okay to reinstall the unit when wet or will it need to dry out?
Thank you
Cool 😎 make.
Hi, very nice video! Thank you! Does it has dpf filter left in the upper part of the dpf which is still on the car? Or it is not necessarily to clean it? Thank you
No, the upper part is the housing for the dpf. You don't really need to do anything to it.
Hi mate just came across your video. Mums got a ds3 1.6hdi and only uses it only for short journeys. Recently had a message pop up saying ‘risk of particulate filter blockage’ followed by engine management light coming on as well as the service light. Car is currently regening and been doing it for the past 20 mins or so. Do u think this method would help?? Thanks
Yes it will clean the (dpf) diesel particulate filter. Actually that's how it suppose to work. Whenever it is recycling itself, don't switch off the engine. As time goes on, the dpf will need to be removed and properly cleaned.
DIY cleaning is not perfect. The best is taking it to dpf cleaning companies because they use extremely high pressure to push all the rubbish out.
All the best 👍
Hi great video, what year is this. I have a 2017 peugeot 3008. Do you think the process will be the same?
Mine is 2013 1.6hdi
Pressure wash it backward so that ashes come out.
Did your dpf light go straight out after cleaning or did you need to clear it on a obd?
Yes I got it plugged in to reset. But some say theirs reset themselves.
Can i use ordinary soap for washing. I have checked for the solution but not available st market
Put it in soap water and use wet vac to suck to rubbish out. It works perfectly. All the best
is this a citroen ? i have a citroen c5 1.6 hdi. i need to clean the dpf on .thanks
Yes citroen c4 1.6Hdi, 2013 reg
I can’t undo the sensor at the bottom of the DPF.
Any idea what the sensor is like on the inside there? In considering using heat
Sensor at the bottom of the dpf?
What car are you working on?
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs Citroen DS3 HDI.
The sensor is at the bottom of the DPF near the clamp that goes to the exhaust. I can’t get mine off, I’m wondering whether to use heat. Judging your video, there isn’t any plastic in there which could melt.
Worried the sensor pipe/thread looks like it could be alloy tho. Not sure how a mechanic would get it off without heat to be honest?
Want to see the test aswell big man - that would be interesting if water was still in the DPF.
The car is running very well. I went to work yesterday all day. No errors or any problems.
Oscar mate you have proved it very nice bro thankyou i love watching your videos thanks
I whant to see engine runing and see every thing fine mate even show us the dash speedometer as well mate thankyou verymuch
As you can see I am replying you so early in the morning, is because I am going to work. I wouldn't if the car has problems. Everything excellent. I will upload a video to show you. As you know me, I don't play tricks when it comes to stuff like this.
Hi, did cleaning help or you had to replace filter finally?
Everything went well. The filter is still in the car. I am at 165,000 miles and planning to get a new dpf at 200,000 miles.
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs my car is 205k km, and I think to buy new filter without trying to clean it. What do you think is it good idea?
@@nezaisk-73 200,000km is alot, if you can afford to buy a new one, buy it.
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs did you try to do diagnostics before and after cleaning. There is exhaust system parameter called differential pressure before and after dpf. I have found some articles that good pressure is up to 100mbar while rpm is at max torgue. It would be very interesting to know this parameter when filter is fully clogged.
How hard is it to remove the pressure sensor because I’m having trouble removing it?
You don't need to remove the pressure sensor. Remove the big clap around the dpf, remove the small pipe at the bottom and remove the clap at the bottom for the exhaust and the dpf drops down.
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs thank you I will check it out when I get time I thought the pressure sensor was attached to the DPF ? Have you got Facebook?
@@LHingley96 yes I am on Facebook but I haven't used it for years.
Just be careful when the dpf is not dried properly it can crack.
Thanks mate.
Good point ! 👍✌️
It’s dark. Can’t see uninstalling and installing the DPF.
All the best bro, this is one of the easiest jobs I've done to this car. 2 claps and 1 pipe to remove the dpf.
Interesting video.... BUT..... The purpose of the filter is to collect/burn all the bad stuff. So when you clean it, and let all the waste water and particles run straight out on the ground, i get really sad....
That's just how it is brother. Regeneration or forced regen burns all the bad stuff but it creates rust(red stuff) and that results in the filter being blocked. You have 2 options, to buy a new filter or clean the old one. So I choose cleaning because to make a new filter, lots of stuff needs to be burned creating more bad stuff.
To avoid bad stuff completely, walking or a horse is the answer.
When we all shit it also goes in drain. Makes me sad too
@@kayali8842 hahaha 🤣🤣🤣. True bro,
@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs it's actually eoyls fluid, highly toxic its not rust. The eoyls fluid is pumped into the dpf when it does a regeneration to keep the Temps down.
Just be careful mixing chemicals ! 🤯
That's true bro👍, I was lucky this time the dpf survived. I now use water and dishwashing liquid only.
I'd at least give it some fairy liquid......?
Yes, that would work as well. Commercial pressure wash is best because it will force the mess out.
I bet this dpf is destroyed inside till now
Destroyed? I would have said that already. I will be changing clutch soon and I will talk about it on the video.
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs yes the chemicals that you have used should have destroyed the dpf inside, check ti out and update
@@badrijan9704 In my channel we revile everything to help others to avoid the same mistakes and if anything gets damaged or goes wrong, I will immediately warn others! So far no issues. But thank you for pointing that out and I will keep an eye on the dpf.
@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs what's the average 10 regeneration km's?
@@badrijan9704 mine doesn't regen itself. No electric connected to it like Vauxhall Insignia. Maybe newer models regen themselves.
All them FRENCH DIESEL DIESELS cars are pure rubbish shite and I can't understand why people are buying them and have been a mechanic for 40 years please please read what I have said .
Sorry to hear that you don't like French cars. They are affordable.
it is yor garden or customer? stuff from dpf its a poison LOL
It is my garden but I don't clean dpf at home anymore. I pressure wash it at the car wash with a commercial high pressure jet spray. Thanks 👍
