Paul, the EGR valve itself is on the back of the engine under the DPF, the part that you are cleaning in the green bucket is just EGR pipe work from the cylinder head to the inlet, I suspect an overfuelling injector has diluted the oil

I had a customer once who came in complaining of excessive smoke, said she topped the oil up the week before.... She thought she had to fill it up to the top of the filler cap 😂

Hi Paul good luck with that Dpf filter they are a nightmare 😊

Whilst you got access to the turbo outlet there you can fill it up with Mr Muscle oven cleaner.That,ll clean that out.Well documented on forums of diesel owners.Make sure that is 100% oil you drained as its possible that could be diesel dilution from an injector(s).Has been known on these.

Maybe high oil level down to the engine trying to regenerate the blocked dpf? The fiat 1.4 multijets were notorious for doing this. The diesel runs down the bores and dilutes the engine oil.

The excess fluid in the sump is a mix of oil and diesel. When the car tries to do a regeneration on the DPF it uses extra diesel to generate higher temps in the combustion chamber to burn off excess carbon in the DPF. If its unable to do that, either due to a fault or the owner just keep running it on short journeys and doesnt allow the regen mode to initiate (Higher engine speed on a longer run etc) then that excess diesel ends up in the sump, increasing its content, again and again, over time your sump level just increases the engine oil is diluted by the diesel. Not a good set of circumstances. Change the oil and filter, clean the DPF, and once reassembled and running, change the oil and filter again after 100 miles to get the excess diesel out of the lubrication system get it on a dual carriageway and run it at a higher engine speed (use 4th gear) for at least 10-15 miles once it good and warmed up to kick the regen into action and get it to do a clean on the DPF itself. Ive had this time and again on cars Ive worked on, and it works Paul. Good Luck !

I cleaned my DPF by just shoving a jet-wash down it.

Hi Paul , yeah had a customer once who over filled the oil , she said someone told her she ‘ had to top it up ‘ so she did . With out checking the dip stick , just kept topping it up …….

Hi paul i think that van will be breathing clean air again soon all the best to you and your family

Someone buy this man a head cam 😂 still love the videos though ❤

thankyou Paul,excellent content as usual..👍👍

Big ends sounded bad when it ran last week , probably had more oil added to try to quieten it

Replace both the sensors on the exhaust. It will be trying to regen the system and flooding with diesel. This happens to a few diesel engines.

Shame that you are working on the issue. If left uncorrected you may have ended up with a runaway engine at full revs that you cannot stop. These are spectacular and make for great videos before they self destruct in a cloud of smoke ! Ah well true KZfaq stardom will have to wait 🙂.

Try some g101 in the dpf mate

I had an issue with a Toyota Yaris 1.4 diesel that used to gain oil, when it tried to regen the dpf, it overfuels to flush the dpf, like a wash, my dpf kept blocking due to a faulty airflow sensor. Toyota fixed it but the issue came back after 6 months.

MB fuel injection specialist in Eastleigh Hampshire has a machine that cleans DPF you need to take it of and give it to them and they will clean it for you.

Its not always the external seals on the oil cooler that cause the cross contamination. It can fail internally, mixing the oil and coolant inside.

VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN , VAN, LOL You will remember at some point 😂😂😂😂😂😂, that was some amount of oil/fuel that was in there

Nice one 👏

Paul please please wear a mask when your anywhere near that dpf cleaner another youtuber used the exactly same product and ended up in hospital with breathing problems it had affected his Lungs . There is no mention of wearing a mask on the instructions on the bottle but it states on there website safety sheet to wear a mask

Inlet and exhaust manifold and the ports will be clogged up bad too. Best check and clean them out.

Hi Paul, there's two videos on KZfaq by Alan Howard - P2000-00 trouble code & oil level rising may help! 🤔

If you want it removing, egr and dpf, cannot be seen on mots and passes mot, in the derby area let me know, 450

You might find this van has ran on in the past based on how high the oil level is. Might be why it got put through the auctions.

Hi Paul I wanted to ask u if it was possible to physically go into the Newbury site to look at the cars? Thank u for your interesting videos!!

Guys it's impossible for this van to drop 10 ltr of oil . Absolute fraud 😂

Paul why are you messing about with all this outdated technology, just become an EV KZfaq specialist channel you seem to be good at fixing those and they are the future. 👁️👁️ 👃 👄

When everyone in the audience is shouting “it’s a leaky injector”.
