If you get a warning light showing that the filter’s blocked, it should be possible to complete an active regeneration cycle and clear the warning light by driving for 10 minutes or so at RobbieA. Yes, mine does the same and it is normal. Frequency depends on type of driving - i.e town and traffic, short journeys from cold start will cause the DPF regeneration cycle to occur more often. Mine has only happend twice in 12k but mostly country driving. Yup, it puzzled me the first time too. The first two indicators mean that the engine control module has detected soot buildup in the DPF and is initiating a regeneration process. Don’t shut off the engine until the lights clear. The third symbol shows a failed regeneration attempt, and the fourth asks for immediate intervention. In both cases, you would need to do parked regens. If the car starts a DPF regeneration, extend your journey if need be until it has finished the job (takes around 5-10 mins of driving, in my Alfa at least), and give it some beans to help it out. Added a bottle of forte DPF cleaner first. Sat in car with the revs around 2100-2400. Took about 10 mins for the engine temp to get to around 80C. Left the revs running for about 10-15mins. Oddly after 15 mins the revs dropped to 2k and stayed there regardless of how much I pushed down the accelerator. In this episode we show you a troublesome pathfinder that has a few DPF issues with no power Call 01274 640028 for help and assistance Oil gets contaminated (rise to "x" mark) in about 3000km. Regen happens every 80-100 km - this is one of the problems. Other problem is: while regenerating, instant fuel consumption "sky rocketing" - if I drive on highway at 120km/h and instant fuel consumptions is around 6 l/100km - regen starts and it jumps to 18-20 l/100km (for 20 min or 30 As long as the above is followed, if vehicle senses that a DPF regeneration needs to be carried out it will do so automatically without the need for any diagnostic tools!!! Another thing you can do, is to use either the more expensive diesels such as BP Ultimate or other premium fuels, or a good diesel additive. A diesel car will display a DPF warning light when there is a problem with the car’s diesel particulate filter. This filter reduces the amount of harmful soot emitted by the car and has been required, by law, to be fitted to all diesel cars since 2009. A diesel car’s DPF can become blocked over time, causing a warning light to be displayed z3HgstE.

how do you trigger a dpf regeneration
