Great video. Same issue with an mk 4 2010, tdci 163 hp. Good thing you’ve added the wallet thing in the end. It seemed like an easy operation and i was already starting to question my ford dealer’s quote at 250 euros.

Great Work Alan. Fitted new VAporiser and now all good. Thanks for the Vid! cheers from Downunder!

With the car on the ground,I managed to remove my vaporiser valve in one piece with an open ended spanner hammered on with shims so it was on good and tight. Plenty of penetrating oil the night before. Using a block of wood and a small trolley jack to apply undoing pressure, tapping in the limited space, the unit came off! I drilled a 2.5mm hole in the centre of the body until it broke through to the outlet hole. Solid copper wire was poked into the hole until all the crap was cleared and rinsed with some brake cleaner, it was now possible to blow air through using an electric air compressor. The drilled hole was tapped M3 and a grub screw inserted then peened over with a hammer. Saved a few quid.

Mine has literally just started a regen as I pulled onto my drive (2012 Titanium X Sport). Never revved like that, but the exhaust note changed and the fans came on full Bore! 😂 Took just over 5 mins to complete. Also, a worthwhile note, check your instant mpg. When just idling, it should read 0.1 mpg, when on a regen it should read 0.4 mpg. 👍

Al Man🤣. I really like your style keep it up fella 👍 Properly explained proper old school.

This has just happened to me ( 2013 Mondeo 2.ol TDCI Titanium X ) and I have got my car booked in with local Ford Specialist next week. This video has been mega helpful to show me what is involved. Plus a very funny man which is always a bonus

Would be handy if show next time how to disconnect fuel supply and electric plug. Would be bit more informative 👍

Sorry forgot to say your videos are really fantastic.

Top video Alan. You seem to be the go to on KZfaq for stuff on Ford diesels. Keep it up. Your help is invaluable trying to keep these turds on the road.

Thank you Alan that was good lessening

Thanks for your video I successfully changed mine today as I had engine malfunction and that nut was well and truly rusted on, what a nightmare 😅

Allen Great video mate you a great machanic you talk and explain whats being done and fun to watch You are the cool dude Phil in stoke

@Alan many thanks for saving me a wad of money. I successfully diagnosed my fuel Vaporiser thanks to this video. I replaced it at 1200000 miles with ford main dealer and fitted for around 600euro. Last week I ordered part from Auto Doc for 170euro (exact same part and stamp as one I removed) and followed your video. Did the regen and cleared the codes. Using premium diesel and the difference in the power is unreal. Next time you're in Dublin I'll buy you a few pints 😎

Loved it! Cheers mate!

Thanks for the video. Used this to assist changing one on my Galaxy... 👍🏼 resorted to cutting the old one off to get a 22 socket on it!!! Bloody tiiiiiiigght!! 😯

Alan thanks for your videos mate. Very helpfull. Hi from Australia.

I had this problem when I first had my second hand mondeo but sprayed EGR cleaner into the EGR intake then added DPF cleaner to the tank and it cleared my engine management light and I haven’t had any trouble since! I regularly use this DPF additive now as I only drive the car locally and it is sound. 😀👍

Nice video I’ve done a few of these on transit

Thanks very much for getting back to me I'll have a ask about for a decent and reliable 1 up my way

👍 Perfecto as always

Thanks for the information😀

Great video man

hi there alan i am antonis from greece....i have a 2010 ford focus tdci 1.6(109hp) can i install a led inticator to known when my car is regenerates the dpf?is any way to do this? i dont have dashboard light when it regenerates

I have the same Ford setup on the Puma engine in my Relay van. Could you please confirm that when you disconnect the metering pump you should be able to blow straight down the fuel supply pipe into the exhaust? I can't so I am guessing it is blocked solid but it is an exhaust off job on these vans to get the injector out so I am just checking. Thanks.

Useful information, changed the vaporiser on my kuga this week.did static regeneration and all going properly again now

Cant beat The good old British tea brake evey half an hour

Great watch. Currently got a galaxy in with the code p244c low temp in cat during regeneration. Removed the fuel pipe from vaporiser and activated pump via snap on machine. Pumps diesel so i would assume the vaporiser is blocked or the glow plug is knackered. Local ford dealers are wanting £278 plus vat

All still good Alan with new injector plus the dpf 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Just had MOT , there machine for the emissions couldn’t pick up anything lol , so it must be clean ! Well , it got advisories on both rear trailing arm bushes .. seen your vid for these .. another expensive job !!! Looks nice and easy when it’s up in the air with the right tools .. cheers 👍

Hi thank you for the videos. Im just about to change my vaporizer. Just wounding if i can take the car on a long run on the motorway to do the regeneration or does it have to be plugged in? Thank you

hello.you can tell me how I can activate the diesel pump from the fuel vaporizer valve and where the fuse is located. I have a P629F error. I changed the fuel vaporizer valve but it does not do the dpf regeneration.

Hey alan another great video!☺ does the mk 4 mondeo before 2012 have that dpf nozzle?

I had this problem last year. Changed injector/nozzle with a genuine one everything back to normal until a few days ago when again the P244c error is back. No limp mode, car drives fine but mil is on and cant clear it. Checked fuses in engine bay and all of them apparently are ok.

Great video Alan, I've got a question to ask, Ford Mondeo 2.0 tdci 2009 which has reverse gear issue. At times when in reverse it does not move at all till I get it out of gear and re put in reverse, would you have any idea what the issue is ?

Hi Alan, I have a Citroen C4 VTR plus HDI 2.0L 2005 that had a new turbo about 2 years ago. I purchased the car after the old owner replaced the turbo. Unfortunately the turbo has only worked once and that was when I put some diesel magic into the fuel tank and magically the turbo started working and lots of power for only a few days. Could the reason the turbo is not working is due to the DPF being blocked and thus a loss of power or the EGR valve possibly being caked up with soot or just that the turbo has failed or has a blockage.

I had one gone bad on a transit and took the glow plug out of it, drilled a small hole in the large pipe just above the nozzle and cleaned the soot out through that hole.. after all that i had the hole covered by weld and that was it. Done a regen and it's all ok now.

Hi Allen great videos, I've got a 57 plate mondeo with a plethora of issues but the most prominent seems to be code p2463 is there anything else I should check before replacing parts aimlessly? Thank you really appreciate the help

Hi Alan, Do vapourisers usually last to 200k miles? Getting a P269f code, vapouriser bought but not looking forward to the job!

thank you so much!

If only my father is alive right now, he will be happy watching this because my deceased dad is a diesel mechanic driver so he can really relate to this.

I have just got the DPF in my mondeo 2010 cleaned and the vaporizer replaced. The only concern I have is that the car doesn't read the average MPG or how much fuel is left in the tank any more. All i see is - - -. It is something that I didn't experience before the issue I had with the DPF, is there an explanation to what causing this?

Alan great video, how do you get the electrical clip off these.. It won't seem to come out of the housing

Forscan is brilliant for all fords. Its free all you need is the obd elm327 adapter. My focus st tdci has this dw10 engine. No ad blue so I reckon it will probably have a vaporizer?

Hello Alan. I have a problem with an Ford Kuga 2010 4x4 140Cp. The error code is P0219 and occurs only when a hill descends and stop the car with the check engine. After a time if I use the car the error disapper. What can I do?

Nice video, as expected! I had the same issue on my Focus and before I ordered a new part I thought I'd try to mend the old one. What do I have to lose, right? Long story short, after I burned the nozzle with a gas burner it started smoking and got nice and red. Kept it glowing red for about 30 minuted until I saw that there is no more smoke coming out, let it cool down a bit (no more red colour) then cooled it down quick in water to crack the soot inside then with a pick broke all the remaining ash inside and blew it out the hole. Managed to unclog it and it saved me about 315 Euros. Ah, I removed the hose and the spark plug (measured it beforehand though) before baking the nozzle, just to be on a safe side. Still using it 2 years later without any issues.

Hi Alan, my 2013 has been in with the mechanic today and he tested everything and all is working. No blockage in the nozzle, no vacuum pressure. The car is showing P244C. Car is putting up engine malfunction warning but no EML. No loss of power or limp mode. Car is on 160k+. Mechanic reckons Dpf is just fubared. What you reckon mate?

Does it just heat the diesel or does it actually turn it to vapor? I’m thinking just heats it. I want a diesel vaporizer to use. Any ideas?

Hi Alan when your dpf,s are full of ash do you have them professionally cleaned it seems expensive but the only way

Hi,my question- does using Supreme Diesel keep these parts cleaner or will the problem always be there ?

Hi there just wondering if you could help we got a ford mondeo mk4 2.2 diesel starts up fine and drives completely fine for 15 mins the goes in to idle mode but no light on dashboard then if switch car if and on then it goes back to normal for 15 mins again thank you

I'm starting to change a few of these now myself seem to be a fairly common fault

Beautyful car good video merry Christmas po

the cost of that snap_on is a bit too much for me atm lol, what do you think of the cheaper obd2 scanners, like Autel AL529?

Alan great another great video. Just wondering why im getting a smoke smell in the cabin of my 2007 galaxy its the qxba engine. And is my engine same as the one fitted to the focus 2.0 tdci barr ancillarys hp pump and injectors?

Hey dude. I was wondering if you know, I have a 2015 transit with only the p2463 code, and not any P246B code. Could it still be the vaporizer?

Alan your videos are so informative. I have a much small fleet of seven Mondeos but your videos have been so helpful in keeping them up and running. Thank you and keep up the great work! Just curious if it is worth while removing these vaporisers and cleaning them out? I suppose the idea is to improve the DPF cleaning process if the vaporiser is not as blocked. I've only had one go but wouldn't suprise me if the others are dirty. Any thoughts on that idea? Or is it not worth it?

Hi Alan I have fitted a new vaporiser and my mondeo is now regenerating again. Only problem is it wont stop regenerating. Its 2011, I have read on ford forum that early ones to be fitted with vaporiser need a pcm reprogramme.? Ever had this problem on any of your cars? Cheers

Oh Dear.. don't know if i have a problem or not! Got my 60k 2010 mk 4.5(?) Mondeo auto last July. Don't do a lot of motorway miles. Don't have any error codes but haven't had the engine running at high revs like yours did. Why on earth Ford didn't put some indicator on the display to inform us when a regen is in progress or due i'll never know

Recently bought a used Focus 1.5tdci from a main dealer, I do regular long-ish commutes to work but noticed the engine was never doing an active regen. Idle speed was fast and start/stop deactivated when the engine warmed up. Also the oil change light came on 2000 miles after a service. Ford performed a forced regen last week and all is fine. They emailed me the job sheet and no mention was made of checking the fuel vaporiser, I have emailed them to double check this. My question is, if the fuel vaporiser was blocked, would the forced regen have even been possible?

Thanks.

Alan. This video is great. Question for you. I have a 2010 diesel mondeo. That regens every 12 miles and with a scanner plugged in shows the regen happening. Then no fault code once the regen is complete. Is this a replacement DPF? And if so how hard are they to fit yourself? I'd assume if you have to replace the DPF you replace the Vaporiser as well. Cheers Sean

Hi iv got a transit connect 2013 and I had the vaporizer fule pipe replaced as it looked warn and also it kept coming Loose, however ford replaced it and also (inspected) the vaporizer, despite it being clean ... apparently. it kept coming off so a few cable ties and a jubilee clip later it was fine, now it's leaking diesel all over the place :( how much roughly would it cost to have the vaporizer replaced and a regen done in a garage? Many thanks Andy

I too work for a taxi company, our transits have this problem almost weekly, we cut the long end shaft in half, drill out the carbon and Weld it back together. Same code is the initial indicator... conditions not met or temperature too low for regen

Brilliant.. Have all 3 of those codes. Tried Forscan regen 5x and it bombs out every time. How easy is this to do on a driveway DIY styley!?

Does mondeo mk4 2008 1.8tdci 92kW have DPF and what expect when egr delete, thx.

cant you just clean the vapouriser??assuming of course you got it off in one piece??

Hi Alan, love your videos and always watch them for your knowledge. I’m about to fit a new vaporiser to a 2.0 mk4 Mondeo but do I need to bleed the fuel system after. Huge thanks Jim

Hello Alan. Have you ever had problems with EGT sensors on this engines ? I have both of them showing 100 degrees continous and 5 Volts. Could both of them be knackered or is something else like conections ?

Great video Allan 👍 Don't suppose you've had any mk4 slow oil leaks / somewhere from the back of the engine hard to see 🤔 just thought I'd ask 👍

What do I remove to get at it on a kuga ? Seems out of reach .

Hii, where can i buy a vaporizer for my Mondeo Mk4 Tdci 2.0l diesel 115hp 2010? I'm from Romania and I can't find it...Txh

Does the 59 plate tdci mondeo 2.0 have 1 of these cant find it anywhere please help ?!?!

Managed to remove old one but the thread stripped on the old nut . I gave up took it to a mechanic and now it can't do a dpf regeneration due to code p246b and p2463 .changed a 20amp fuse but still won't do nowt

I will appreciate for more videos with ford galaxy please 🙏you the best good luck 👍

Eres muy bueno !! sobre todo con el Ford mk4 !! felicidades !!

Hi, the vaporizer where get the fuel line? From a separate pump?

Please name of the sensor for Ford Focus 2010 Diesel 1.6

HELP !!! Hi Allan We have a problem with a 2012 Ford C-Max 2.0 diesel. Faultcode P269F Fuse F48 burns out when we change it and the engine lamp turns on. We dont know what the problem is. Can you help us?

If the vaporizer needs replacing is it possible to swap out the entire DPF and vaporizer at home without needing any special tools to prime it or anything? I've just been charged a ridiculous amount for a new vaporizer and DPF clean and could have bought a vaporizer and whole new DPF for cheaper and fitted them myself for less.

Alan , I’m back to this vid regarding dpf as looking for pointers .. remember , I said I had new dpf fitted , then failed , then new 5th injector.. Was all sorted .. question ... On regen , would I notice soot from exhausts ? I notice this every other week or and on the Same bit of road .. I comes out quite thick for a 30 seconds or , boot it and it clears even quicker .. Is that just clearing ash from regen ...not noticed it otherwise so don’t think it’s egr related 🙄

After cleaning this injector on my mk3 diesel focus with compressed air and brake cleaner diesel fuel was pouring out trough the injector.Is there a chance that i messed something up inside the injector itself Before cleaning no air could pass trough the nozzle Am i safe to put it back on the car I am worried that i broke something in the injector.

Hi I have problems ford mondeo 2009 tdci 2.0

Hi, you made a video of mondeo mk4 1.6 tdci 115 hp year 2011. Problems , clean egr, sensors map,maf etc...? Thanks

what about mondeo mk5 dpf regeneration ...any information... video ... ?

My car is a nightmare, I've got a 2011 mondeo estate and the engine malfunction light is on, I have no power loss so I assume my dpf is not yet blocked, I've driven 5000 miles like this with no issues other than the engine malfunction light. The error message is catilist temperature too low. My garage told me they need to remove the dpf to clean and fit a new vaporiser, the only problem with this is, firstly, my car does not have a vaporiser like Alan, s taxie instead I have 2 pipes going straight into my dpf that cannot be removed unless I replace the full dpf and secondly why would my garage need to remove and clean the dpf if my car is running fine? Am I being thick here? Lol. I have had my car into anougther 2 garages and neither can diagnose the fault, my car has now covered 150000 miles and I brought it with 145000 miles so I took a gamble here really but apart from this the car is spot on and was well worth the 2k I paid until this poxy light came on. Also this engine malfunction message can be cleared but after 300miles it always reapears. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

You are star in your job and super star in acting job.. nice help

Hi Allon, I have a ford kuga 2008 tdci 2.0L, runs perfect when cold and hot, as soon as I turn engine off when It reaches temperature, car refuses to start back up, I have changed crank sensor, fuel heat sensor, the pump that fits on your high pressure pump and I have still got the same problem and I had the injectors checked, and they're perfect, it comes up with no codes for this fault, this car will not start backup until car is cool again, I can run all day in the car along as I dont turn it off, can you help?

Great video with good info delivered in a fun way :-) Now I've buttered you up can I ask a question? I've a Mk4 Mondy, had the EML a few thousand miles ago and put in some JML DPF cleaner and been OK for about 3K. Now getting EML light again intermittently. Never once been in limp mode. But how can I tell whether a regen has ever occured? Was told last year by garage that the glow plug in vaporiser not working. So if I use DPF cleaner that is meant to lower the temp at which soot burns. Will it actually occur if glow plug broken? Or can I just keep using DPF cleaner every couple of thousand miles to save forking out 250 quid for vaporizer and 150 quid for forced regen, plus about 150 labour costs.

Hi Alan. Watching your video in May 2021 and enjoy your style very much mate. In future think I'll buy a petrol car. :)+

How much do these vaporisers set you back I’ve just been told by a mechanic I need to get one ?

Hi Alan, im running a MK4 with 160,000 on the clock, great car but its starting surging under load while accelerating, no warning lights and runs fine otherwise, hopefully not turning into a jonah, any ideas, i was going to buy a MK5 but the EGR issues have put me off, Thanks Colin

does ''2015 mk5 2.0 tdci mondeo'' have this part?

Hi Allan, I had the engine sign come up in my 2012 Mondeo and took it in but they said they didn't have anything show on the analizer or what ever you call it but they put a new throttle box in . It hasn't done it since but I haven't been on a motorway since so I don't know if they cured it but I had them change the fuel filter as I didn't know if that had ever been done so do you think it could show up again. The mileage on the odometer is 115000.I would appreciate if you answer but I won't mind if you don't.

Just changed my vaporizer on transit custom not sure if fuel coming through lines how do you bleed vaporizer pump?

Or where do I find the part number?

Hi Alan Mondeo mk4 2009 tdci Coming down the motorway this evening I had a Dpf overload warning on. So I floored it to 90mph where a great deal of black smoke came out and since then it's been ok. What's your take on this as I do motorway journeys every day. Kind regards Paul

Hi Alan, did you prime the vaporizer? I replaced one in a 2011 2 litre Ford Focus and now the F48 fuse blew. Any suggestions from your side would be much appreciated.

Hi, Alan, thanks for the video clip, I've changed the vaporizer valve, but still can't solve the problem of my frequently DPF regen(there was no any error message, but DPF regen almost every 200km), I didn't do the force regen after the replacement, Do I need to reset the "Exhaust Gas Temperature Learned Value" or something else by using Forscan?

Really great video. Thanks for posting Alan. I have a 2.0 Diesel 2011 Ford S-max (so same engine). I'm getting a P269F - Exhaust After treatment Glow Plg Circuit/Open fault code on my OBD reader. Car isn't going into limp mode and seems to be running find. Fault clears itself but the then comes back on. My local garage are none the wiser (was in for MOT and service yesterday) and just told me to monitor. Fault light back on today. Although not in limp mode, I don't want to keep driving if it is going to wreck the DPF and lead to bigger bills. Any ideas Alan would be great, thanks.

I've just bought a new vaporiser to fit to my 2011 2.0 Focus. Is there anything else I'd need to do before taking it on the motorway other than clearing the code? And do you know roughly how long it would take to regen on motorway?

@Alan Howatt from your experience with 2.0D PSA Jonah Engine do you have an idea why diesel comes into engine oil, level rises ove Max level. Could this be due to O-ring leak from HP pump or faulty injector or ...? tnx
