Think the mechs who said it was nothing to do with it, are old school and did not know. - perhaps they think wrongly that they are there just for starting the van when its cold ..they are not up to date on things - they have failed to move with the times and educate themselves.

So, what he's saying; that during regeneration these plugs play an active role .....without them working, the regeneration will fail and DPF will clog up.
another thing that may need a look at is , are your injectors performing properly ..if they are not then this will add to your problems of soot in the dpf.

This video is based on BMW cars, they do not have a vaporizer in the DPF to inject fuel into the DPF for the process.
My jumbo transit with only one working glow plug has done 15k miles around the city starts immediately in very cold weather and my DPF is nowhere near clogged!!

That’s good to know I have watched the YouTube video and thought that it contradicts what has been on the forum since DPFs have been fitted to transits

There is also mention of wetbelt failure hastened by diesel in the oil from the regenerations.
So you're saying it's still done the old way, which I'm willing to accept and i bare down to users with more superior knowledge than i .
