A quick video of my own van a 2012 Vivaro which had some pressure on the dpf .
Cleaning carbon and soot is one thing cleaning ash is very different and identifying the difference and fully understanding them both is key to getting it right and doing the correct clean to give the best service and doing the best job without call backs . Ash can not be cleaned on the vehicle.
For those of you who follow the page on Facebook you will remember how taking Kayla my teenage daughter back to Devon some months ago half way we found ourselves in limp mode due to oil did fault . This was 100% my own fault and a rookie error as I forgot to tell the ECU I had done an oil change myself .
This in turn stopped the dpf from being able to regenerate causing the dpf to block.
Once in Devon I carried out an on car dpf clean due to the pressure being off the scale and at 10pm I wanted to get home yet a week later I was forced to remove the dpf and get it flashed cleaned to remove the Ash build up .
Since then I've had no problems and was only by chance I was sat waiting and decided to check the van and managed to carry out a forced regeneration before any lights came on.
