How to Diagnose & Test DPF Diesel Particulate Filter & Use Live Data

understanding dpf diagnostic issues and different scenarios of different types of diesel particulate filter fault causes

[abderrahimmark]

The best DPF educational video I ever seen right there!

[peterparsons]

thank you for the explanation, as with most modern car systems there's more to diagnostics than plugging in a tool and firing a parts cannon at the customer. i am just a small single man business, one of my promise to the customer is if i misdiagnose a part then i will pay for that part. i do tend to stay away from dpf problems due to lack of knowledge and i can't afford to eat the price of a new wrongly diagnosed dpf

when ever I need some guidance on dpf related problems or questions I go straight to your channel

Thank you very much Jimmy. I did a DPF clean with Wurth Diesel partical flter cleaner and it works. The lamp is off and the engine works. Just be aware if you do a high Rpm on idle BMW too long BMW activate a limitation on Rpm on idle to 2000 Rpm. Use a scanner to remove the error and shut off engine. Restart again and the power is back.

Australian mechanics are terrified of European cars, especially BMW. My wife has a 2008 x5, 2 local mechanics have had a go ($2000) still stall's when reaches operating temp. They recommend a 500 kilometer ride on a truck to nearest BMW dealer in Brisbane. I might have a shot at blowing out the DPF.
Thanks for the video 👍🏼🇦🇺🌏

Great content, nice one, thanks for sharing

[tumelomapoti]

Brilliant…

Quick question: been watching all your videos, and noticed that you never do forced regeneration using the diagnostic tools. Is there any reason for that?

Or is it just a matter of after cleaning there shouldn’t be a reason for it? Perhaps a video about that might be helpful.

Otherwise, good job on the videos. They are very helpful, and I’ve gone and committed to both taking on my own DPF issues myself, as well as possibly selling my services…
Big Ups!!

Cracking video with some helpful info, thanks for finding the time to do this 👍 frothy flange fan club content that

If hou suspect a dodgy sensor, do you do a wiring test to make sure there's not a split or corroded wire?

[davidbriggs]

My car is regenerating quite frequently, I did these same tests with my OBDeleven and all was reading fine, I make sure the car gets a good run once a month, I use premium diesel and I use a DPF additive every 1000 miles, I make sure to keep driving if the car is in the middle of a regen so I’m doing all I can to avoid any issues with the DPF, what in your opinion would be causing the car to regen so often? Thanks
