Understanding the DPF Systems

In this video, you will be able to explore what are the Diesel Particulate Filters, what are the key parts in a DPF system, and how do they work, what is Fuel Borne Catalyst (FBC) additives and how they work.

Excellent video, this is a 'must watch' for anyone who runs a modern diesel vehicle. Unfortunately, most people only start to look into the challenges of having a DPF once they have suffered a major issue. (myself included)

[abtran]

persistent DPF issue on my A6, finally decided to drill out the filter and map out DPF completely, car running like a dream now

[jimmydickson]

Just costs people more money for fuel and replacement parts, this is a horrible idea we live with costs a fortune to run a diesel now

[rustice.shirima]

Thank you, professor. no better title for you!

[Naminator]

At 10:56 its stated in the picture aside from egr, injectors that the BCU is needed to activate the "rear window heater" why?!

Good video, thank you for your info and these opened my eyes on it.
I've tired to use some of additive products for my OM651 diesel engines to clear some soot and prevent any issue from DPF.
Added additive (add 1 of 2-3 time of refill full tank) to the tank and full fill the fuel tank and run it's look smooth.
But sometime I was found green sticky liquid 1-2 drop at the exhaust pipe (located on back passenger) that remind me it's look like 4:47 of your video.

After found this green liquid and run the car until 1/4 of the tank then re-fill it without additive, this green drop disappear.

Not sure I use the correct way to save my DPF? Or this green liquids are the problems of my DPF?

I use short run (5-10 km) in the morning < that may product soot.
But every month I drive the car to travel around 150+150 km (go and back) on the highway every month and drive on the highway 60 km once a week.

Heres a couple of DPF tips use low ash oil, not any old supermarket shite or garage oil sold by the barrel by mechanics, it's cheap, and has a high ash content also, dpf cleaner additives in the tank and occasional high quality diesel helps keep the system clean as diesel isnt as good as it once was, take highway journey at 70mph or 100km an hour in fourth gear keep it there at a constant RPM try not to adjust the speed for 30/40 mins at a consistent speed to help passive regen happen.

Great video, but doing some research on cerium oxide fuel additives, it seems like they have been stopped because the health effects of it's emission, being higher than the benefits of it's effect on combustion.

My gripe is that many manufacturers forgot to allow operator commanded regens. My vehicle, all it did all day, was regen. Then for some reason it wasn’t. Threw a code requiring a regen, but I couldn’t force it to do one, only when I went into OBD could I attempt one, by which time it needed a new filter. Manufacturer ate the cost of that one.

[babouzeyassine]

Great effort but the music is too loud

[FarmerJames]

So my car, a 2012 Peugeot, has a dpf and cat converter, no adblue system, and the tailpipe is spotless and I've hardly ever seen any smoke even upon start up.

Conversely, my work vehicle is a 2017 Peugeot (again with dpf, cat but with adblue) and the tailpipe is like a typical 'old" diesel - very sooty. How would this be so??

[mnewln]

Love all the Walker facilities in China. I wonder if DPF systems mandatory there? 🤔

[noodls]

It is possible that EGR work incorrectly and i have dpf error?

[Premium_.hdi]

We have a Peugeot 307 (1.6HDI Euro4). The car has 240, 000 km. There is a lot of black smoke coming from the exhaust. When we pass 2, 800 - 3, 000 rpm, the "Depollution System Fault" error occurs and the car does not drive well. What can we do?

[straight-narrow-path]

Then when it's nearly full the re-gen throws the captured deposits into the atmosphere by injecting diesel into the dpf. what is the point ?

[fatbudgiekillen]

Tiny capacity petrol engines are best for small trips.

[teenager]

The process goes unnoticed by the driver. Biggest lie I heard this month :D

[axelamps]

Yet another questionable cost and complication enforced by the EU to push up vehicle costs and make them less affordable.

[philipkeeling]

Great video but every car I buy these are the first things I remove. Car drives so much better, more HP and better fuel consumption

[Deadline-lf]

Does UNIT WITH DPF
CONNT BE TUNE OR REMAP?
