I cleaned mine by removing it and fitting a straight piece of pipe. No more DPF issues and very happy with it. Also blocked off the EGR valve. Of course got an engine light so I removed the lamp. All good now.
Haha way to go 👏👏👏
Hope you know someone who dose bent MOTs 😂😂
If the dpf filters cold start contaminants, won't it pass when you go with a warm engine to the test?
@@alexhorton7371 unfortunately not, their is soot and particulates all across the drive cycle particularly under load. The worst of these are the ultra fine particulates. These are inhaled deep into your lungs 🫁 then move from your lungs to your blood 🩸 stream to damage your heart and brain 🧠. Spare a thought for people that work around diesel fumes daily they are likely to spend their hard earned retirement in poor health.
Same here on my 330D
Nice to see how all the dirt runs back to nature again...
Hmm, yes I was thinking the same, just like the hoover filter it just releases all the crap out at a different time and place ..
Bit like EVs are clean where they are driving but the pollution is still being produced at the coal fired power station.😂😂
that's only the soot from one regeneration cycle. Around 100-200 miles worth of driving. Bit of carbon never did anyone any harm!
It came from the ground in first place..
Oh no, carbon in the soil. Better there than your lungs, don't you think?
You should go downtown and blow air backwards through the DPF, wafting all the soot into the air, so that the circle of irony is complete.
You are totally correct Mel all that “on the car cleaning” is cobblers , rarely will it clean properly . I clean DPF’s in a £30k cabinet machine from cars to lorry’s .again you are correct firstly you must clean against the flow of gasses a pressure washer can be used to help as like you have done. Good video Mel helping those that might want to have a go themselves 👍
Thank you for the positive feedback really appreciated 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld your positivity helps a lot of people keep up the good work chap 👍
Have a look at O’Reily’s DPF cleaning channel. He uses a mix of Launch UK fluid & water flushed through the DPF whilst it’s still on the car.
@@torquesteer2657 I follow him
@@torquesteer2657 He gets them to new condition
The company I work for has just had a Ford Courier van's DPF cleaned after the van went into limp, mainly due to it being used for short journeys. The mechanic told me that a regen involves over-supplying diesel, some of which washes down the bores, contaminating the engine oil. The oil level might even rise! He recommends _much_ more regular oil changes, because of this. I like the idea (from another comment) of opening the DPF chamber, throwing away the contents and welding it back up!
Thank you 🙏
That will be great until you go for mot do you think they not see it welded you have two problems then
@@patkelly9907 No, I'm a very good welder, and in any case I'd open up the component at the back, where my deceit would remain hidden after reassembly!
@RubberBandBoy Naughty, but don't blame you , good job your a good welder then 😉 😅
@@carlarthur4442 It's a long time since I've worked as a welder, TBH, so the results might not be as impressive as I made out!!
Well done mister, nice delivery, your a natural & good to see people having a go at stuff.
Thank you kindly!
did mine an old 520 bmw took it of soaked it in a big bucket with two dishwasher tabs and half a bag of soda crystals for an hour washed it out with a hose and refitted power restored and no lights on cost about a quid 😁😁😁😁😁
Oh brilliant 👏👏👏
a thought Mel, as I wish to remove my DPF ...my idea is to remove the exhaust like yours, then cut a hole through the ceramic to put a straight pipe through, welded to each end. This way it looks like the dpf is there, but the gases are going straight through, and have the dpf shut down on the ecu. :)
That would be an mot fall and it’s against the law to remove the DPF from the vehicle
dpf´s are great , saves all the nasty stuff from going into the enviorment ........to then dump it into the enviorment at a later date along with 4litres of nasty chemicals .
I made the the same point and was told to leave Mel alone. Here I a quote from the Safety Sheet for this product "Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant." I find I disgusting that that both yours and and my comment are hearted by the man himself.
I'm no eco warrior but we all need to realise that just treating the environment with such disregard has consequences.
@Dickie2702 what's worse, is all the rubber from your tyres you dump every year. 4 tyres, how many grams each? Probably much more than this carbon and far more damaging.
@mikevolante7663 You are probably correct and you have to now pay to have tyres disposed of responsibly. But you missed my point, if you are going to upload videos to the Internet and garner a following, then you become, like it or not, an influencer. And, as such, I feel you have to be responsible for the content you are making. Or do you condone people contravening published disposal instructions?
You are wrong, soot is emptied out, ash content within the dpf gradually builds up over time, so not all goes out in the environment.
Apart from all this comment I agree he should not tip it in the garden or anywhere near because he possibly growing his own vegetables or at least have apple tree in back garden 👌
I usually filter tue cleaning fluid thru a coffee filter paper let it settle then pour it off and use it again
There are several reasons why there are companies that clean filters. 1. they use hot liquid for washing. 2 they recycle the liquid. 3 their cleaning liquid is filtered and the waste is disposed of correctly. 4 there is a guarantee on their work.
Not like your solution, where chemical liquid and particles run directly onto the ground and contribute to contaminating the groundwater. It doesn't matter now, it's your grandchildren who can't drink water, unless it's cleaned WITH chemistry to remove solutions that you and others use now. think about it
I lost over £4000 on two cars because of the dpf's. In a few years time there will be adverts saying "did you own a car with a dpf fitted?", and the government will have to pay out millions of pounds for forcing car manufacturers to fit something not fit for purpose! Dpf's totally destroyed the biggest attribute of the diesel engine... Reliability! Shocking! 😠
Absolutely Agree with you 😊
Those adverts are already out there. They’re just a bluff & going nowhere
I leave the DPF on the vehicle. Just disconnect the exhaust joints and cover the exhaust holes with plastic bags. Then stick the powerwasher lance up its snout. You don't have to disconnect any sensors as they do break unfortunately.
I just fitted a new NOX sensor, but all the threads stripped removing the old one. I just drill it out, sit the sensor in place and mig the sensor. Saves a lot of hassle
Nice 👍 thanks for the tip 👍🤓👍
Thank you Mell..... great as usual.......😊
You are so welcome
I’m SO GLAD I’ve kept good care of my rust-free 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins! None of this crap to deal with. For over 22 years this thing has run reliably, and other than rebuilding the manual transmission 5 years ago, and the lift pump and the water pump- oil changes and fuel filter changes have been all that Ive ever done.
Excellent way to clear dpf how needs to go to garage looking forward for further video thanks
Some medical authorities are now saying that the much finer particles ftom the DPF are more easily absorbed into the lungs than the relatively harmless but smelly pre Dpf ones ever were .😊
I have a MK6 Golf had DPF issues after about 2 weeks of owning it. Gutted the DPF, remapped the car no issue since that’s 6 years ago
DPF is a waste of time
You are very original meister. Respect👍
Thank you kindly
Great video. Best thing for the DPF is a long chisel and a hammer 😉
Great tip! Lol 😂
Mel, could you have brazed the drilled out bolt in place, maybe clamping it in position? Though perhaps tack welding in place will be sufficient. Clever plan to use the bolt to seat the sensor, very resourceful.
But it won't be in the correct position
Cleaned mine with the same fluid about 2 months ago, back flushed when rinsin aswell maybe 20-30 times also used air pressure which help blow out some of the red ash at the end and alot of the water. Worked for me lowered my dpf pressure from 250mbar at 3k rpm to 50mbar at the same revs. I also used the same chemical as brick acid which really helped with the red ash was a weakened version but did the job.
The pressure in the DPF should be no higher than 10 mbar.and one should never let the diesel fuel in the tank drop below a quarter,preferably a half tank of diesel for the DPF to function properly.👍
@johnpatterson5744 50mbar or kpa can't remember at 3k rpm this was directly after cleaning with water still coming out and before it has done a regen aswell. Havnt checked it since, but will check it this weekend and see what it's at now 4 months later.
@@johnpatterson5744 No more than 10mbar on idle, ideally half that and 50mbar at 3krevs is very good AFAIK. The DPF will normally get blocked for a reason.... Built in fault code with some vehicles (around 120k miles), sensors not working, nozzles blocked, etc.
Been 6 months now its flushed all the water, lose soot and Ash out that was broken up by the chemicals along with a few natural regens. The pressure is 6mbar on idle and around 50 at 3.5k so it did the job very well and was very easy to do.
Great work Mel 👍
Thank you 😁
Interesting video. Plenty of clever tips. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Thanks for watching!
Top job mell that's exactly how I do mine, keep flushing till there's no foam it can take 45mins with jet wash, the soots not a problem, it's the ash left behind 👍
Good to know thank you 🙏
@@BigVanSmallWorld leave them over nt if you can gives 💯, better results 👌👍👍
Dpf are not fit for purpose. To prevent blocking people who don't do a high mileage have to do a hard run for 40 minutes once a week to keep it clear. How can this be good for the environment.
Nice video Mel.
Thank you that’s very kind of you to say 👍🤓👍
Amazing 👍👍
Nice logic
Thanks
You'll have the environment agency on the blower,about contamination of the ground from washing it outside 😂
Great video sir..
Thank you..
So nice of you
Great video Mel
It’s my next job now I’ve seen how bad my EGR valve and intake manifold was clogged with oil and soot
Good luck 🤞
You need to ask your self were is the oil coming from There should be no oil EGR and DPF we're designed for dry soot and ash only
@@patkelly9907 Crankcase breather pipe. It's normal to have some oil residue going through the intake. The unfortunate part is the oil vapour mixes with sooty EGR gases in the intake manifold and turns to gunk attaching itself to components and over time clogs everything up.
I cleaned the dpf on my Range Rover on the car with 100% success and will do at every service with lots less hassle
Care to share how you cleaned your DPF? Did you use the same method or a different method?
@@randoshanks I followed same method as O’Rileys Autos on you tube used wynns dpf cleaner pumped fluid in pressure pipe before dpf lots of videos on you tube also sprayed dpf cleaner in air intakes as per revive product video on TH-cam.
How just to help others please 😊
Years ago I looked after forklift trucks in chemical plant, they had large honey Combe spark arresters on the exhaust, always used pressure washer, but importantly they were allowed to dry in a heated room, otherwise the soot stuck to them very quickly, like you see on videos in situ loads of steam but builds up too quick if not dried. 👍
Thanks for the advice 👍
The main reason the contaminants dont flow through the filter is because the particle size is too big. by using a solvent the dissolved contaminants can become smaller than the filter can hold and it will exit, so those on-car cleaning methods *can* work, but taking it off and cleaning in both directions is by far the best way.
I broke one of the sensors when doing that on my wifes X trail. After i was told "you didnt need to do that" I did have trouble getting it dry, Blew air thro after draining and flushing from a workshop vac outlet connected to the pipe and heated the pipe in front of the core with a blow lamp on and off for about 30 minutes.
Well done 👍
Cleaning the dpf on the van is also an option , i used manol dpf cleaner injected through the pressure sensor pipe . Works without taking dpf off , which is very tricky on renault trafic as high up behind engine.
Thank you
This worked perfectly for me on a 2010 Audi TT TDI. Was in limp mode and soot load was so high it was beyond the level for forced regeneration. Mannol DPF cleaner in from the top reduces the load far enough that forced regen was successful and all is good now.
change the wing mirror for the DPF problem, the outside temp sensor may be missing or damaged.
It’s all fixed now thanks though 👍
wow Great job yang man well done 😀👌
Thanks 😁
All this off vehicle DPF cleaning and DPF filter blockage can be avoided completely if the DPF self regeneration process took place as the vehicle system saw necessary. However if your fuel gauge is always below 1/4 level , the ECU will NOT kick in the self regeneration process….ending with a filter so blocked that forced regeneration with diagnostic tool or self regeneration becomes ineffective.
Interesting that thank you 🙏
Hi by self regeneration do you mean just driving the van until it clears out itself?
@donner101 Yes sir. As long as the DPF has not been left to point of blockage the system will periodically self clean.... the ECU looks at the fuel level to commence this process. Because of the extra fuel required to achieve the high temperatures.
Yes the pressure within the DPF should be no higher than 10 mbar.and ensuring your running the level of diesel in the tank no lower than a quarter full,preferably at least half full ensures the DPF will function effectively.👍
Some vehicles wont do a self regeneration if the ambient temp sensor is faulty or if the vaporiser is blocked in the exhaust, this is where fuel is squirted into the system to burn off the soot.
Did my crv dpf this week. Bit of a bastard to get out as its right down the front of the engine and a heat shield gets in the way. Once out cut the heat shield corner and you will makes life alot easier. The chemicals and additives just dont work. Save your money. Just take it out and clean it. Jetwash, chemical soak, jetwash. Back in , force a regen and its good as new.
I wonder if you could get a ultrasonic actuator from one of those ultrasonic cleaners, attach it to the dpf and see if you could get the cleaner to cavitate and therefore super activate the cleaner.
I have absolutely no idea 🤷♂️
If you drive plenty it should never need doing. My work transit has never had an issue and currently on 170000 I do 250/400 miles a day I guess that’s the trick
I think you could be right 👍🍻
The way the filters are made it work forwards and backwards. I think a fire hose from the back would be best though. These filters are a total pain and the regens do not work well, my older diesels had no problems with these or the ADBLUE because they were not there.😊
That filter should be oven dried after wet cleaning before it is reinstalled.
You will get better results with your welding if you prepare the area you are going to weld by cleaning it as much as you can.
A wire wheel or brush works good.
Thanks for the tips
Excellent video. After refitting do you need to tell the ecu it's been cleaned/renewed or can you just clear the dtc code.
Yes I’m told that is exactly what I need to do video coming up soon 👍🤓👍
Hello, I want to clean my Prius 3 catalytic converter. Do you know can I use this product for my car? Thanks
Mel you should of put Evapo Rust on the hole thing £16 from Tool station Now on sale was £22
Just wondering does anyone know oven cleaner or WD-40 work?also how long will that cleaning out filter last for cheers
Great video mate, just a quick one would I able to undo that nut on the pipe that connects to the exhaust that holds the thin pipe? Access on mine is very limited, I can only access that nut with that thin long pipe. Was thinking undoing it and spraying cleaner inside it.
Yes, absolutely
Cleaning a dpf while in place is often a cheaper and easier option due to the location of the dpf and due to exhaust sections being seized together.
But, it does not clean as well as removing the dpf and back flushing to clean it.
Yeah I know
How would you unblock a sink?
it doesnt matter which way its flushed, best not to use narrow stream or turbo nozzle pressure washer on ceramics. soot doesn't matter, it can be flushed out after soaking in dishwasher tab or washing liquid, its the red ash that needs dissolving. wynns works to a point and needs 2 days, actually coca-cola works pretty much the same. alloy cleaner or HCL works better and does the job in 2-3hours,
i had problems with me last kuga had to remove the dpf to clean it.
did clean it before via dpf pressure sensor tube this worked just as well as the removal watching the pressure drop on my forscan system. then doing DPF rest the values.
the biggest problem is people don't investigate correctly as to why the DPF regen is not working in the first place to keep it clean.
Mel this could be to the fact that your DPF pressure sensor is faulty.
also make sure that your sensor when you get fits in place and goes as deep into the exhaust as the original or you could get incorrect readings.
that sensor works like a 02 sensor it needs exhaust flow over it hence the holes in it.
That’s so true
Sent you a comment regarding the vario
Do you know if it is necessary to reset the ECU once you change the DPF with the scanner or a regeneration to get the new values from the differential pressure probes?. I have to change it for a new one, it is very saturated.
Yes you do 100% i had to have this done on mine but i was sick at the time so didn't film it sorry. good luck with yours
@@BigVanSmallWorld I have not scanner. Ummm. Thanks.
i buy oil that comes from under the ground and then use it for a while, and then poor it back into the ground and call that 100% recycling!
As oil it came and as oil it will return, amen!
Hot soap an water probably do the same thing
The reason why dpf additives are used inline with the flow is because they make tue ash burnable thus allowing the filter to catalyze it , still a nasty process for the enviroment
So,they put these filters on the vehicle so it doesn't polute or contaminate the enviroment but loads of people are flushing them out like yourself (and i'm not pulling you on it as i would do exactly the same) with some kind of detergent/chemical and then rinsing it down the drain or into the nearest grass verge etc which then contaminates the enviroment,what nonsense.
I just cannot see any difference between the old steam engines were they had to clean the soot and clinka out of the boilers and this dpf filter,it's ridiculous.
Great video glad you got the soot and clnka out 😀👍
I vrone down up scotland blocked DPF so ordered a reconed one from DPF clean team down Lester £750 😱 causw of the blocked DPF was a machanic fitting a cheap sensor and couldnt delete the engine management light which wouldnt allow the DPF to regenerate. Cost me a thousand pound in total and ruined trip.
In theory your right, in actual fact you are incorrect. Wet cleaning is just as effective from the 'inlet' end of the DPF especially if the DPF is near vertical such as a Mercedes S class. One other point, is the heat sensor going to be at the right depth into the gas flow...
Thank you 🙏
Hi Mel have you tried just putting petrol mixed into the diesel makes the engine run bit hotter but clears the DPF my truck fitter gave me the idea and it worked put about one gallon of petrol into a full tank of diesel .worked on my Renault Master van?
This could seriously damage your fuel pump I wouldn’t recommend doing that
great logic and engineering. hope it all works ok. i wouldnt be suprised though if the sensor is M14 X 1.5 and the standard M14 bolt you fitted is a X 2.0mm pitch thread.
You’re absolutely rite but I did manage to work it on 👍👍
@@BigVanSmallWorldright not rite
@@BigVanSmallWorld aah good. hope you're feeling alot better and the motors running well 👍
...... "I'll be right back" *talks back to phone screen: you're not going anywhere boy!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m really sick right now sorry i didn’t end the video like I usually do 🙏
That's probably why a lot of companies clean a dpf on the vehicle? You went from a £60/100 job to £500 or more depending on vehicle ! BUT you have only fixed a symptom of a fault that was causing your dpf to not be doing regens to burn away the soot !
Usually when they block it's because of ASH that needs cleaning but soot is usually a different problem !
You’re right there thanks for that 👍😂👍
how does a DPF get blocked on a camper? we use a camper for holidays, weekends or even day trips - usually all long(ish) journies including motorways or dual carriageways. Never had an issue with DPF.
Good question!
How many liters of the Wynn’s DPF Cleaner was needed to fill your DPF?
What year is your Sprinter?
Hey Mel handy having that drainage ditch to wash all the Crap into .
Yeah just like all them people that wash their cars every weekend 👍
Congratulations for creating your own environmental disaster! I'm no eco warrior but I really can't approve of your disposal method.
That's what happens on a regeneration....drive up the motorway and all the crap flies out the back ..... leave Mel alone
@danielhines5698 In a normal regeneration cycle the soot is burnt off at high temperature, very different to removing soot by chemical methods. Slightly different to using a chemical flush and then pouring the resultant debris in an open ditch. I'm sure Mel is a lovely chap but he is in this case setting a very poor example. Sorry if that offends you or Mel but sometimes the truth hurts. I
@@Dickie2702it's soot that's basically carbon. Carbon actually absorbs lots of bad stuff - it's used in NBC suits and filters and such, so while looks dirty it's ok. No worse than emptying a BBQ.
DISCLAIMER: No plants where killed in the making of this video from DPF Residue over spill :)
that rite
I thought that was a bit naughty
More 'forever chemicals' finding their way into our drinking water. These are not totally cleared out by current water treatment practices with 18 out of 20 plants tested having well over limits deemed safe (although even that is a daft idea, they are not safe at all). We all (literally) pay the price for laziness like this.
I cut my transit one open and there was just two white blocks in there, chucked em away and welded it back up and it passed the test no bother 😊
Nice work!
@BigVansmallWorld
Your reasoning for taking off the dpf to be cleaned is flawed. The dpf captures the bigger particles created at lower temperatures when the engine is cold. Then burns them off during the regen allowing them to passthrough the filter. Blowing a cleaning solution into the dpf dissolves the soot into small enough particles allowing it to passthrough the filter.
Good job
Thanks
You really need to put a warning on this video about the hazard of using the cleaner and your consequences, as others may go ahead without realising the dangers.
1/4 pool acid 37%- will do the job as well :))))
I think you broke not heat sensor, this is particular matter sensor- it reads pressure and sends info to computer. This is how you find out that dpf is blocked.
Hi Mel I know it says off car but is it possible to do this on vehicle as I don’t have the means or place to remove it ?
yes you can but to be honest i would take it to a garage and get them to do it for you
@@BigVanSmallWorld unfortunately I don’t have the funds to take to a garage. I’ve used everything including the foam dpf cleaners and it’s still saying dpf on my scanner. Now again goes into limp mode switch off and on the van drives fine again. Getting fed up. Starting to feel my ecu is fucked because ever time I scan it comes up with other sensors then I scan again and there gone :( I sick of these modern vans
Hi Mel were you getting any driving or performance issues prior to doing this clean out.
Yes was going into limp mode 👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld Thanks. Did you get any dash warning lights showing up when it was going into limp mode.
If you were just going to use water to rinse it, i wouldn't have bothered with the treatment solution. Best way to clean these is heat and airflow, just like it would get on the vehicle.
Thank you for the advice
Gut DPF. Have a remap deleting adblue ( if used).
That’s e legal
@@BigVanSmallWorld And.......
You do not have a DPF &🎉 ADD BLUE in same vehicle, it is one or the other !
Wynns. Great Australian car products.
Hello... during cleaning should I remove the sensors off the dpf
I’m not sure if you have to I did and I broke my so if ever I need to do it again I wouldn’t remove them good luck with yours
Would the high pressure from the washer do damage to the dpf
Not at all it’s been working great ever since
@mel I have a problem you may have come across mate.
I have a 2017 sprinter - pooling water in the footwell by the pedals.
Heavy rain is giving me water .
The material against the firewall is soaked
Checked the roof and around the window seals and can’t find anything untoward
Anywhere else I should check ?
Can you updates us please? Did your dpf lights came back?
All ok 👍 not had a problem since
How many months have you travelled since last dpf clean up? By the way i think you are an amazing guy thanks for your this video.
The fluid they put in the DPF dissolves the soot and the engine pressure pushes it out ,and launch fluid works better mate ,but I could see the method in your madness, any how not every body has the time to do this method they need the car for work
Dpf aren't so expensive if you replace your self and maybe 1hour of your time.
Hi have you put the end result after refitting on TH-cam
Yeah it’s all good 👍
Can you name all the tubes and wires going on to the dpf? it's not all sensors are they?
Basically yes they are the one I broke was a heat sensor the two pipes are for a pressure sensor that senses the difference in pressure between the inlet and outlet of the DPF if the pressure is high on the inlet side and low on the outlet this tells the ECU that the DPF is blocked 👍
Stroooth mate ..dramas are comin outta the wood work .. cencers..heat deeetecters ..good grieff chieff ..😂🤣😂..anywho ..you.ll figure it oot ..😁pip pips

"That's nasty".Procedes to flush down the drain.
My Karcher make the same noise as yours when trigger not squeezed.
Interesting 🤔
It’s not normal, I’ve had mine about 20yrs and it started doing it last yr, it pulsates like yours, no idea why.
Possibly one or more broken springs on plungers . If so can be replaced as I did for a clone. Fiddly but extends useable life aka eco friendly

Never mind the dpf how did you manage to sharpen the drill bit on that wheel.never works for me. 😂
Years of practice 😊👍🍻
Are you going to tell us the dpf is still showing a problem and actually it was the exhaust back pressure sensor (£45)?
No not at all it’s actually working fantastic now I have cleaned it and reset the ECU
Im not a fan off DPF how ever they there for a reason and work reasonable well untill the mileage get to around 100.000 mile then we all have problems However in my experience the dpf is blocked by oil coming from the crankcase breather filter which is blocked As the soot and ash build up then you add engine oil fumes you have a real stick mess inside your dpf Check inside intercooler pipe make sure it bone dry if not you will soon block the DPF
That is probably the most helpful comment I’ve had on here thank you 🙏
Sensor will give a false reading as it needs to sit in the middle of the pipe
Well it’s still working
Just back flush it with water using jet wash then take it for a run and let it regen properly
Yeah 👍
And that’s why I buy bottled water 😂. Fair play
