Thank you so much for the invaluable videos ....
I can't tell you how many people I refer to your channel ....

[@waynebrinkley6284]

That amount of pressure has to be a personal best Jimmy.👍 The launch fluid is unbelievable, getting the pressure that low. Love your videos Jimmy, 👍👍

[@thehouseholder5468]

You’ve taught me so much about Dpf issues, and my dishwasher tablets washout worked perfectly, I had the Nissan juke back in today to laser track it , the customer reports that it’s as good as new and no issues or warning lamps 🤗 £5 for a hundred tablets, I’ve used 12 😂

[@johnbooth936]

Thanks for your time doing these videos , such knowledge your videos are addictive

[@ORileysAutos]

Glad you like them!

[@s.wilson5675]

Thanks Jimmy. Very exciting how you were commentating on the pressure coming down.
I bet you'd be a great sports commentator. 🙂

[@cw2126]

THANKS FOR SHARING JIMMY LAD 👍👍👍

[@loic7100]

Nice video thank you.

[@beluxauto5968]

I don't call it a fail necessarily. With that kind of pressures I am a bit suspicious of the clients explanation of what has happened. We see a lot of short distance driving related filter problems. MIL has always been on way before that kind of contamination/blockage that you show. Maybe the other shop adapted a few times without actual cleaning the dpf or going for a highway drive? Anyways, you did your due diligence and like you said, " can't win them all ".

[@philmurray1359]

Might be that those over heating of the DPF has damaged it. I also was surprised you didn’t put another treatment through while the engine was running. I can’t believe how good that fluid is.

[@bartlettismyname7573]

Thankyou

[@ORileysAutos]

Welcome

[@johnfountain8143]

5000mb thats over 70psi at that pressure it would have trouble running did you do plausibility test on pressure sensor ... i had one a week or so ago for a garage who had fitted new dpf still same issue ... new sensor fixed it

[@muradahmedov7508]

Does the sensor measure 3 bar pressure? Probably launch diag dont display the number correctly. These sensors should be upto 1bar.

[@colinbrown3364]

Surprised you didn't put on Manometer to confirm pressure or was pressure to high for that.

[@beany1987]

Well we have a new dpf pressure record 😂 something isn't right there clearly, if it's really was at those kind of pressure surely the engine would have trouble running let alone reving up with that kind of back pressure.

[@chucky2316]

Another bottle more concentrated maybe jimmy, touch wood since using low saps oil and better quality fuel I have had no issues thus far

[@thindo]

2700 milibars down to 300 when revved not bad

[@stuart6973]

Another bottle of dpf cleaner maybe?

[@ORileysAutos]

I know from experience it would have made no difference.

[@andrewyeo2353]

One for guiness book of records

[@jimmydickson8854]

Can you do a second flush dose that help just a thought can you comment on one of your videos

[@Emmet-xf4st]

My dpf blocked because I put 20 quid diesel at a time was never enough fuel in the tank to allow a regen and had no fault code

[@blick63able]

That is a problem I never thought about

[@mrtatty6718]

Is your scale on hPa not millibar?

[@tonyford7987]

I’ve changed a vaporiser on a 2012 Kuga with this engine

[@ORileysAutos]

This is euro 4

[@Bobzymarek]

Same problem but the best way to remap stage 1 delete dpf

[@marklong6701]

Does the car get any black smoke with a dpf delete and does it drone more on the exhaust

[@elbuggo]

Why not another bottle, dude?

[@TheOriginalDaveJ]

Surprising that for maybe the first time on video you didn't use a second bottle.
Maybe time wasn't on your side this time.
I've seen you many a time opt for a second bottle in this scenario.

[@ccrjason]

There was a little boy sitting with a can of petrol when the vicar walks past and says "what's that you have son?" The boy replies,"This is miracle fluid". The vicar says, "no son, there's only one miracle fluid, and that's holy water. If you rub it on the belly of a pregnant woman, she'll pass a baby". The little boy says, "no vicar, this is miracle fluid. If you rub it on a cat's backside, it'll pass a motorcycle!"
Turns out they're both wrong. Launch UK DPF cleaner is truly miracle fluid 😂

[@jamesmccoy8936]

Jimmy did you get to the bottom of this issue? Have seen a few of these vehicles show crazy Differential pressure readings too. I.e. when 5psi applied with Mityvac directly to new re-leant pressure sensor 50 psi is displayed in live data. Makes no sense other than ECU error?

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

Should of waited 20 mins yer doughnut 😎

[@1954307]

another bottle wouldnt have cured the problem knackered dpf new one needed

[@ORileysAutos]

Definitely

[@theunqualifiedmechanic7570]

Faulty sensor

[@AV-sm5ir]

The cleaning might have been a fail but the work ethic and method not. I would rather pay someone to try a bit harder in solving a problem and having it cleaned instead of going straight to expensive parts changing that might be unnecessary.and that's exactly why half of your video's start with "this guy came all the way from..." A good mechanic is worth the pay

[@Andrew-fq6gm]

Get rid
