So whiny. 1st off, learn to fill the Def properly. It's not rocket science. All of the 2.5 gallon boxes come with a flex hose that easily reaches the DEF opening. Second, the DPF doesn't need a ton of maintenance. I've had my car for 175k and haven't had an issue with the DPF.

You are welcome 🙏

You have to use an OBD2 reader to find out any issues with the vehicle. I recommend the thinkCar - M70 OBD2 reader amzn.to/3tvttKd or the Autel Maxisys ultra EV scanner amzn.to/3tvtZI9 Any good tablet reader from either company is fine just have to check its capabilities for what you need it to perform.

@@sextillionproductions thank you got someone coming round get it checked out.. engine management light has gone out I'm just gonna get it plug in see if there is any codes need deleting

Buy using link amzn.to/3VFEPoo to help the channel. I replied to your other comment just FYI 👍 and the codes I received was P2002 for the DPF and the second code was for the NOx sensor. After performing a flush you need to check the EGR if it needs to be cleaned.

The only reason I didn't do that is because the tip of the plastic nozzle has the multi jet head that sprays the cleaner in different directions blasting off all the soot inside with great pressure and I found it easier to move the plastic nozzle all around front and back of the inside of the DPF for a thorough cleaning. But it is a great Idea to use the stainless steel tube I would just try to figure out a way to make it flexible and put a nozzle on the end of the tube so it has the same thorough jet cleaning effect as the plastic one that comes with the cleaner. 👍

Usually goes off on its own but you could check the vehicles ECU with an OBD reader to check codes and clear codes as well. You have to use an OBD2 reader to find out any issues with the vehicle.

Same for me...someone else said you've got to get the credit cleared at a shop, but I'm just curious if my dpf is actually clean. My upstream o2 sesnsor is really black...I may try Changing that next...I'm not a car guy but hate new if I can fix... thoughts out there?

Use the links to support the channel by buying anything you need off Amazon. Yes you can, all you have to do is use an OBD2 reader to see the regeneration turn on or off in real time while driving having the OBD2 reader connected to the vehicle with a co-pilot monitoring the regeneration procedure on the tablet, also it will check for any issues with the vehicle. I recommend the thinkCar - M70 OBD2 reader amzn.to/3tvttKd or the Autel Maxisys ultra EV scanner amzn.to/3tvtZI9 Any good tablet reader from either company is fine, you just have to check its capabilities for what you need it to perform such as viewing regeneration cycles turning on and off live while you drive. The procedure stays the same except you will have to keep the speed exactly the same as if you were using cruise control any sudden stopping or speeding up will turn off the regeneration as you will see on the OBD monitor.

You have to remove the heat shield from the DPF, remove the DPF "pressure sensor" (should be a little black box), and unplug the DPF "O2 sensor" from the wire harness, ((should be metal and screwed into the DPF), my wireharness connector was orange), then you should have enough room, to unscrew the metal DPF O2 sensor from the DPF. If all else fails then they sell a socket made especially just to remove that DPF O2 sensor. Once the pipes are ripping hot you don't want the plastic hose from the can melting in the exhaust. That's why you have to put the hose in through the DPF sensor hole. You have to take out the sensor to spray then put back the sensor and rip it again. That's why I would not recommend risking an injury trying to disassemble and reassemble the exhaust burning hot between spraying

The instructions on how to apply are at 1:30 in the video. Read all the comments to learn answers to repeat questions and rewatch the video if you need more details. If it's too complicated to understand then have someone who understands perform the process. 👍

Buy using link amzn.to/3VFEPoo to help the channel. This product works great to flush the dpf but you also need to check if your EGR needs cleaning. After cleaning my dpf the EGR needed to be cleaned as well.

I am wondering this too, I am getting some check engine exhaust codes and need to fix

Yes you can use this on a DPF that does not use DPF fluid as well. There are heavy metals that build up in the DPF after 40,000 miles so you have to flush it using the cleaner to get them out. Even if you can get the light to go away reving it, the heavy metals will only continue to quickly clog your filter again since the heavy metals are not able to be removed by reving. That's why you have to flush out the heavy metals with a cleaner to remove the heavy metals because reving the engine will not remove the heavy metals.

@@sextillionproductions Do you happen to have a procedure for this on a 2010 or is it the same as what you did on your video?

@@rundmm it's the same process for all vehicles diesel or gas because this is both a DPF and catalytic cleaner.

Check the EGR flow and clean the EGR if it needs cleaning due to soot build up. Check with an OBD2 reader for all codes and to check when the regeneration turns on and off while driving because pressing the break or fuel pedal will stop the regeneration procedure. Check DPF pressure sensor (little black box) sometimes there are cracks in the hoses that could give off the DPF light, also check Dpf O2 sensor make sure all sensors are in proper working condition. And check for any obstructions with the Catalytic converter along with the exhaust pipe check for any bends or kinks from driving that might obstruct the airflow. Also check the air filter to make sure it's clean, if not I would recommend changing the Air filter for a new one. Air leaks and Glow plugs not working are a big contribution to DPFs getting clogged after cleaning.

If the glowplugs are not working properly it will never regen properly,,,

You didn't RIP IT hard enough!

@@jackpitre7942 RIP- remove internal parts. Probably the best solution. Still running with 5+ codes.

If you watch the video I explain the motions used to cover the complete inside of the DPF. You have to use the long tube on the can to be able to reach all areas of the DPF for an effective cleaning. The short answer is no. I recommend following the directions in the video going in and out 5 second intervals like the video explains.

Thank you for video. I tried to do it and failed. What kind of lights did you have on your dashboard?

@@alexkokhanets9358 I had the DPF light. You can use an OBD reader to check the codes. 👍

Yes the socket makes it a whole lot easier. Just for anyone wondering if you have to use a special socket the answer is no. I was able to remove the heat shield and dpf pressure sensor it's a little black box with hoses connected to it and had plenty of clearance to use regular tools 🔧 no problem what so ever. So if you don't have time or money to purchase the special socket you can do it easily without one. I was able to do it easily without the special socket so can you 👍

With engine Cold you unscrew O2 sensor and leave it in the DPF only finger tight so it is easy to remove when everything is ripping hot 🔥. You should rewatch the video to see all the steps and proper way to inject each can. You do not inject all 4 cans at once. You need to watch the video your missing alot of important information. It's 2,250 RPM and it has to be driven for 40-50 minutes cruise control/manual mode and if you have a OBD reader that can show when the DPF regen goes on and off you will see the DPF regen turns off whenever you speed up or press the break. You can not touch the accelerator or the break pedal at all during the regen because if you do it will turn it off. There's alot of details the manufacturer explained that I put in the video that need to be followed accordingly to ensure a successful regeneration of the DPF. Watch the video as much as you need so you understand the whole process and steps required. You can also put on the captions to understand clearly. Follow the directions as prescribed in the video and you should have a successful regeneration of the heavy metals that clog the DPF. Regular regeneration happens all the time driving regularly but this process is a 40-50 minutes long Drive because your doing a special regeneration to remove heavy metals that build up in the DPF every 40,000 miles and can not be removed from the DPF with regular regeneration. I recommend to drive the full 50 minutes after following all the steps and procedures according to the video. Also check if the EGR is clean. If the EGR is dirty (filled up with soot clogging up the walls of the EGR) you should clean it.

I have a EGR valve that I replaced but still have some codes for it on. Do you think I need need to do this step in order to clear the codes ?

P2002: says it's a clog in your exhaust filter and the engine wants to try and clean the clog. P0401: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) air flow is insufficient Detected. Both codes require cleaning. 1. First code requires DPF and catalytic converter cleaning which can be cleaned by using the DPF cleaner and instructions in the the video. 2. Second code requires you to clean the EGR. You may find it easier to remove the EGR and clean it safely, rather than use spray cleaners for the EGR while the car is running due to the possibility of a Diesel Engine Runaway that could kill your engine permanently. I recommend to remove the EGR and clean it safely away from the car. Then once cleaned reinstall the EGR. Every 40,000 miles there are heavy metals that accumulate in the DPF which require a DPF cleaner to remove that's the purpose of this video. I also recommend checking your EGR every 40,000 miles to make sure it's clean before cleaning the DPF with the DPF and exhaust cleaner. This happens every 40,000 miles so I would recommend cleaning first and if after cleaning your still experiencing issues then as a last resort I would purchase new parts. To save you money I would try cleaning everything before purchasing new parts because this is going to happen every 40,000 miles even if the parts are new.

@sextillionproductions that is great information I really appreciate that, thank you for taking the time to explain it I I'm very thankful to you

@@mrvic92154 no problem 👍

@@sextillionproductions I've been watching a lot of KZfaq examples and one of them mentioned that if there's soot in the muffler it could mean that the DPF is cracked not sure what that means because I have a little bit of soot in my exhaust, does that mean I just have to replace the DPF particle filter or is the engine ruined or do I have to just run some of these chemicals because the engine runs beautifully and is spotless, one of the next steps is I'm going to try to clean the EGR in the front but I hear there's another EGR in the back close to the firewall is there anything I need to be concerned about thanks again

@@mrvic92154 It's cheaper to clean the DPF and the EGR than to replace both of them. Clean the EGR away from the car then clean the DPF. When the DPF is dirty, sometimes there is soot at the end of the exhaust. If after cleaning, it does not pass smog, then you know it's cracked. Either way if you had brand new parts you still have to clean the EGR and DPF every 40,000 miles. So even if the parts are bad you will get good practice to clean the new parts when the new parts are due for a cleaning. If it does pass smog than you just saved a ton of money 💰, time, and labor. Also if your engine was ruined you would get a code telling you on the OBD Reader. If your worried about the engine scan it with the OBD reader.

First perform the DPF cleaning and regeneration. If the soot and ash are too hard and they can not be cleaned it needs to be replaced. That's why forced regeneration at shops can't guarantee 100% successful cleaning because if it's too hard and cant be cleaned you have to replace the DPF. If it was able to be cleaned at the shop through forced regeneration than you could have cleaned it yourself with the DPF cleaning cans and regeneration. You could save money and wear and tear on your vehicle from the shop removing the whole dpf and reinstalling it, if you just clean the DPF yourself.

At 00:48 I explain after you get the engine hot 🔥 then you remove the sensor indicating the removal after the engine is hot never did i say with the engine running. That's implying the sensor has to be replaced back into position everytime you run the engine. You don't have to torque it down during the process only finger tight. And never run the car with the sensor removed. And at 1:57 I say in the video to put back the O2 sensor. You need to slow the video down and put captions on because you missed all the steps

Thanks for the reply. Not trying to criticize, just reflecting on this video. I think in this case, the video would have been more affective if you would have gone through the process (motions) instead of just presenting information that's easy to miss like I guess I did. Anyway, unfortunately this method didn't work for me. I did stop the engine and put each can in and then replace the o2 sensor and drive around for a while. For what ever reason It made the car even worse and had to get it towed home not long after I put the last can in and was going on the 60 mile drive. It starts fine, but doesn't have enough power to even move itself an inch. I don't have the money to have it diagnosed and so will probably end up scrapping the car.@@sextillionproductions

Use an obd reader to verify your cars dpf regeneration is turning on at 2,250 Rpms then keep it at 2,250 rpms for the whole ride. If you hit the breaks it will stop the dpf regeneration as shown on the obd reader. Best to drive on a long stretch of open highway at night with no cars on the road at 55 mph

The dpf is cleaning during normal driving with dpf regeneration. After 40,000 miles there are heavy metals that accumulate in the dpf and cannot be burned away through regular dpf regeneration that's when your light for the DPF will come on and you will need to flush the DPF with the DPF cleaner. Every 40,000 miles

Buy using link amzn.to/3VFEPoo to help the channel. If you mean a dpf with high soot like the dpf found in a Volkswagen then yes I have. And if your talking high soot in regards to the level of soot then yes I have done this for a dpf with alot of soot. If you mean a semi truck I have not but I believe it is the same process.

@@sextillionproductions just bought 4 cans, gonna try to get it done this coming weekend. My soot is only reading about 13g, not sure why it's throwing a P2002 and Check Engine light with that low of soot, hoping this saves me 2600$.....

@@joesaiditstrueBuy using link amzn.to/3VFEPoo to help the channel. Every 40,000 miles the DPF accumulates heavy metals that can not burn off during regular regeneration. I was receiving the DPF light code even at low soot levels as your currently experiencing, even after performing a DPF Regeneration, the cause for the code appearing is due to the heavy metals accumulated over the 40,000 miles. After you flush the DPF also check the EGR for cleaning.

The O2 sensor gives you a straight shot into the DPF

I had the OBD-II tablet reader on and anytime you speed up or slow down it turns off the regeneration on the DPF so yes it does effect and I Learned this from the Volkswagen manufacturers and tested it myself and it is true it does effect it 100%

Correct I'm only giving directions to remove the O2 sensor then replace the O2 sensor back into its position. I did not mean to replace the O2 sensor with a new O2 sensor.

Buy Using link amzn.to/3VFEPoo to help the channel

Both forced regeneration and regular driving 2500 rpm regeneration burn the soot off. It's every 40,000 miles that you need to clean the DPF because of heavy metals that accumulate in the DPF and can not be burned off during regeneration. Even if you can get it to go off with regeneration after 40,000 miles the heavy metals accumulated will clog up the DPF quickly and reduce air flow. The purpose of the cleaner is to get out those heavy metals so the regular regeneration will continue to provide a larger air flow while burning off the soot efficiently.

Oh ok thank you

I first disassembled everything and removed the sensor cold 🥶 then gently screw the sensor back in (gently finger tight) so you can easily remove it when the DPF is ripping hot to spray the cleaner. Your supposed to use a tool 🔧 to loosen it and wearing gloves would help tremendously but if you don't have anything I did it myself with no gloves and just kept it Finger tight super loose so you could take it out to spray the cleaner by just holding the sensor by the wire harness as not to burn my fingers and gently twist to not hurt the wires. They are thick gage wires so no damage was done and the sensor came off and on easily gently twisting to install and Uninstall to spray the cleaner.

For real By the Book. VW has instructions from the manufacturer for the mechanics that's where I got the info. It's public as well you just have to Google for the document.
