D.I.Y dpf cleaning

[oldyellar]

I've a euro5 fwd Mk7 and it's jumping into limp mode and throwing up dpf codes it's done 120k and around a month ago a employee put petrol in it and ran it till it cut out.
I think this has caused the dpf issues.

I'm planning on Removing the dpf and having a go at cleaning it.

I'm looking for advice on Removing it from the van first of all.

Thanks

I used a spray foam stuff that you sprayed in through the pressure sensor tube. Worked well on her qashqai without removing it.

Sprayed it in, let it idle 15mins , take it for a enthusiastic run for 30mins, then done a forced regen.

Been ok for 2years.

Silver can, nor-something?



Most transit dpf issues are sure to a faulty vaporiser or wiring.

Didn't even know you could get that stuff.
I don't know much about the dpf last one that went bad on the 14 plate I just had it done away with.
They are getting striker on this now

Found it in euro car parts Morgan thanks
Where does it go?

[Punto443]

I’m sure I only paid about £20 for it

It goes in the front pressure sensor tube before the dpf.

I don’t actually know where that is on the transits? I’ve only used it on her qq

No joy with the spray stufg, so gutting it like a fish

[Punto443]

Ah well! Always worth a try

Interested to see how you get on with that, as gutting a DPF should throw up a P244A code, and put it in limp mode

The ones I’ve seen being cleaned is basically just firing the jet wash through it!

It's in limp mode ATM, the tuner will sort that out though
