Up until now, the options available to repair a blocked diesel particulate filter, once "forced" regeneration via the engine management system no longer helped, were limited to replacing the entire filter (from €1,000 to €5,000, depending on the vehicle) or removing the exhaust system (which takes 3-4 working days).
JLM now offers a special DPF Cleaning Kit that enables the filter to be thoroughly cleaned without having to remove it, and which allows the filter to function again like new.
Cleaning a particulate filter with the DPF Cleaning Kit is a two-stage process:
first, the filter is thoroughly cleaned with JLM DPF Cleaning Fluid and then flushed with JLM DPF Flush. Each of these steps requires a special spray tank, which is attached to an air compressor. The spray is made up of two parts: a conical nozzle attached to a hose on the front pressure sensor is included as standard. This is the simple, clean and quick way. If the conical nozzle does not fit, there is the option to use the high-pressure spraying probe. After deep cleaning, the filter is flushed using JLM DPF Flush with the engine switched on. After the two step treatment the DPF is ready to make a proper regeneration.
