How Does a Glow Plug Failure Cause Clogging of your DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)?
Zdravím já použil na čištění u nás tak zvaný čistič na krbové skla (krbyk) zatím jsme tím cistil chladič výfukových splodin a funguje úžasně za pár euro a jsem zvědavý co udělá s tím dpf.
That would be a great experiment!
On older cars 400.000 km and up i mount the lower boost pipes with a little bit of soft tex 7 silicon . Yes its a b!tch to demount afterwards , but its a cheap & cheerful solution . If you have the time for it :) . Darkside development and wagner both make good intercoolers also for bmw .
All good solutions to keep the boost in!
Dreft with hot water does the job too :) .
hello Steve, apparently there is a certain frequency at which the filter of the DPF gets cleaned without affecting the protection surface that the filter is treated that has to remain un-affected. My findings are that the detrimental frequencies would be 20-25 kHz. All other higher frequencies are better tolerated by the filter..
That's some good information to know!
EXCELLENT - Many Thanks
You are most welcome - glad it helped you out!
Hey Steven, how much water do I put in after adding the dishwashing tablet?
Thank you very much
??
Hi, a couple of litres should be okay. If there is lots of oily soot then you will need to repeat the process a few times.
thanks for the subtitles, I was able to watch the video from Italy. Unfortunately my VW Polo 1.4 TDI has a DPF/catalytic converter which is very difficult to remove, it requires hours of work and a mechanic, it would be interesting to be able to use a less effective substance for periodic cleaning , easy to use, for example through the differential pressure sensor tube, without dismantling anything, not even lambda probes and temperature sensors. I've seen videos of French people pouring liters of vinegar, resting for a few hours and starting the engine, I don't think they have too much chemical knowledge :) thanks and greetings from Italy
Hi, Liqui Moly make an in-place DPF cleaner, but you would need to figure out a way to spray it in evenly, or buy their expensive spraying system. I have thought about adapting my system for 'in-place' cleaning, but my fear is that on some engines it would be very easy for someone to end up with a water filled engine! I didn't find vinegar to work all that well, but industrial coffee machine de-scaler could be adapted for in-place use, as long as you could spray in lots of water and detergent at the end to neutralise the acid. More experiments needed!
So what is the torque spec?
Hi, it varies depending on bolt size and type, so it is best to find the torque spec in a workshop manual for your country.
Pressure wash with good old hose water. Works great!
Hi, it can work on DPFs that have a separate catalytic converter - but on units that have everything in the one case, the high pressure will destroy the cat.
Think I could use this for a brake bleed ford2011?
I use for BMW brake bleeding, so it could work for you too!
I greet you Please some information if possible I own a bmw e60 520D n47 euro 5 177 hp year 2009 and I want to install 3.0 D injectors of the same generation, could they not work properly? My injectors have code 13537805428 and the ones I want to install are new original bmw code 13537796042. The car works perfectly but I have 297000 Thank you
Interesting in wondering which worked the best? I loved the idea of the video it was great.
Hi, my favourite is still drain cleaner / brick cleaning acid combination as featured in my other video: The No Damage DIY DPF Clean.
Hello Steven, I am planning to do the DPF cleaning on my 2014 vehicle as follows: Step 1; Dishwashing tab 1:10 water for 30 min Step 2; Pool acid 1:4 water for 30 min Step 3; rinse with tap water. Any suggestions?
Hi, if there is a lot of black soot, then you might need to do the first stage multiple times. After the first stage you should rinse thoroughly. After the acid stage, rinse with lots of water mixed with dishwashing liquid, and then hose with water for at least 10 minutes. When you put it back in the car, idle the car for 15 minutes to gently dry it out.
@@StevenBTuner Good morning, just placed an order for new gaskets and bolts/nuts. I will keep posted on the outcome of my project once its completed.
But the exchaust when hot will burn some off so you’d have to add heat as well , wouldn’t you
Hi, the biggest issue is with the ash that accumulates over time, and heat won't remove it in the same way that it burns off the black soot
@@StevenBTuner Oh right
Thanks man. Your video saved me hundreds of dollars
Awesome to hear!
Very good video and editing props
Glad you enjoyed it!
HG limescale remover seems to use the combination of phosporic and oxalic acids may be worth a try?
Also seems to be safe to use with most metals, most importantly stainless steel.
Limescale and 'ash' are pretty similar - so limescale remover is definitely worth a test!
@@StevenBTuner HG limescale remover works great!, used it today and now my dpf's squeaky clean! Pre-wash soak with dishwasher tabs until water ran clear again and then short soak with the HG as its quite concentrated ! Lots of Orangy coloured mess cam out and Zero reactions with any of the metals ! Flushed through until water ran clear maybe worth doing another vid?
What is the torque on this vehicle?
Hi, from memory it is 400Nm in gears 3 through 6, and is set lower for 1st and 2nd gear. The car has police specifications so it is a 320D with 325D axles.
Thanks for this. I have just moved to a 2017 euro6 diesel with all the gubbins (DPC+DEF+SCR), from a purely electromechanical 1997 diesel so am rapidly learning about a whole new world of computer-mediated anti-pollution systems! I was not aware that glowplugs were now important beyond starting, so thanks for that. Is this true on all cars? I read that at least Renault truck systems have a separate fuel injector in the exhaust before the DPC in order to raise the temp for regeneration. But obviously re-using the existing injectors and glowplug is cheaper and takes up no extra space, so maybe all cars do it this way? Do you know when this started? Since DPFs were fitted, or was it a later innovation after designers learned that they tend to clog up, at least for some types of usage. I found a glowplug DTC on my new van, so I've replaced it anyway (not _too_ painful on a Vivaro-B 1.6 R9M). Now I know that was well worth doing.
Hi, there are quite a few ways it can be done, and glow plugs aren't as critical for cars after 2010, or so, as pretty much all vehicles were fitted with catalysers, which will ignite the extra diesel fuel without needing extra help from the glow plugs. However if the ECU finds that the exhaust temperature is not rising fast enough then it may very well add glow plugs to the mix - and you'd have to dig deep into the software for your individual vehicle to find this kind of thing out...
Has that one exhaust really done 374,000 km? Definitely got one's money's-worth there. None of mine have lasted more than 160,000
Hi, local fuel ash percentage probably plays a big part. Where I am in Denmark it is usually around 240,000 when things block up.
Insanely priced software. Such greed is appalling.
Hi, the price has been reduced quite a bit since I made the video.
oven cleaner would've been a good test
Hi, oven cleaner and caustic soda drain cleaner are pretty close in how they work.
@@StevenBTuner i realized i spoke to soon when watching. What do you think of the newer method of spraying the cleaners through the sensor before the DPF? they claim it removes the ash.
Hello Steven, Thank you for making the video A very clear, step by step guide. My first time changing a belt so was a bit nervous/ paranoid 😲 Finished the job today, fantastic 🙂 many thanks!
Really glad it helped you out!
😢❤
In the UK some people use oven cleaner.
Hi, oven cleaner, caustic soda drain cleaner, industrial degreaser - they are all pretty similar in how they work.
I fitted a new intercooler with new rings on my 320d and its leaking oil and throwing black smoke. Im going to try your PTFE solution and see if it stops the leak
Let us know how it goes!
8:25 😂😂😂
Very few are mechanics nowadays. Instead, there's plenty of part changers out there. Thanks for the thoroughly detailed explanation.
Yeah, diagnosing issues certainly seems to be a dissappearing art...
Part-changers who are just reading what do to from DT Codes. There seems to be a depressing lack of actual understanding of the systems and interactions between the components.
most helpful well explained video ive seen thank you
Glad it helped!
Hi steven im so happy that you are coming to my birthday party from Tristan
Super!
Why didn't you put the needle valves in the ultrasonic cleaner machine to be cleaned, any particular reason?
I'll have to have another look at the vid! They should be in there too...
Very nice but please wear safety glasses and chem. resistent gloves (Category III), preferably the long ones up to the elbow. Beside your old coverall i recommend also a chem. resistent skirt pr a proper raincoat (the heavy plastic type) During work you dont realize the small splashes which penetrate the textile webbing and come in contact with your skin. Even small amounts of chemicals are bad for your skin and ever person reacts different.
Great safety advice!
Yeah. I'm not big on safety myself but even I would have used some goggles and chunkier gloves. But full credit for doing this testing. The later testing he did with a chopped-up DPF suggests that one could just use a less aggressive acid and it would still work well, especially i you are not in too much of hurry.
Now do a video of piston soak with dishwasher tablet and then a tour of alloy cleaner. Would it clean caulked piston rings? Or pcv valve
Great video suggestion!
Great Video! Very helpful
Glad you liked it!

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) accepted aluminium as the international standard in 1990.
Using a 7% oxalic acid solution to clean your diesel particulate filter (DPF) requires following the correct sequence of steps to achieve the best results and minimize the risk of damage. Your suggested process is generally correct, but let's refine it and provide clear steps: ### The correct sequence of actions: 1. **Primary DPF regeneration**: - Carry out active or forced regeneration to remove as much soot as possible. - This will help prepare the filter for chemical treatment. 2. **Use of 7% oxalic acid solution**: - Inject 7% oxalic acid solution into the DPF through the temperature or pressure sensor hole. - Let the solution work for 15-30 minutes to dissolve carbon and tar deposits. 3. **Washing with water**: - Rinse the filter thoroughly with plenty of water under pressure (do not exceed 3-4 bar) to remove acid residues and dissolved contaminants. - Make sure that all acid and contaminants are removed from the filter. 4. **DPF regeneration**: - Carry out a second regeneration to dry the filter and completely remove any remaining acid solution and decomposed contaminants. - This will help return the filter to full functionality. ### Additional recommendations: - **Safety**: Use protective gloves, glasses and clothing when working with acid. - **Ventilation**: Carry out work in a well-ventilated area or in the open air. - **Equipment**: Use specialized equipment for acid injection and water rinsing.
I asked this in the GPT chat. Do you think I can do this?
Hi, the process is 'interesting', but there are a few issues that could make it all go very wrong. The first is that sometimes a forced regeneration is not possible when the filter is extremely blocked. The second is that the process seems to be for in-place cleaning - and if you inject high pressure water it will probably want to go back through the turbo and into the engine rather than go through the blocked or semi-blocked filter.
Thanks I cleaned my DPF using your suggestions. Caustic Soda, dishwasher tablets the pool acid at 1/4 dilution and got a stack of black sh!t out, not much orange ash though. Now I get no error codes and runs great. Cheers for that.
Awesome result!
The injector is tightened with a torque wrench to 50 LB and you can put a thread lock . Just a bit ... Great job !
Great information!
I very much enjoyed your video, one of the best & I was totally glued all through the process, can't wait to see the next video. ❤❤❤😊
Glad you liked it!
Good day. Could you please tell me if it is possible to clean the diesel particulate filter (DPF) on a Passat B8 with an AdBlue system without removing it? How can this be done? Thank you.
Hi, there is a product made by Liqui Moly specifically for this purpose. I have made a DIY version yet.
Thank you
maybe I can also use your liquid recipe?
Or maybe a cleaner for alloy wheels?
What if just replace the new intercooler hose ? Will that help?
Hi, it is the intercooler that wears away, so a new intercooler is needed every 10 years or so - or the fix I have used, or do a completely custom solution.
Heating things up will really speed up the reactions. Some chemicals don't work that great without it. TSP might give some interesting results too.
A great improvement for a future test!
But according to NASA you can't heat up the caustic soda or it will react I think Steve mentioned
Goggles!!!!
Safety first!
Is parts cleaner OK for DPF's ? I've been using degreaser as a pre wash but wondered about parts cleaner. Love your work!
Hi, degreaser is perfect for oily soot if there is any. You'd have to look up the ingredients to make a good decision about how safe it is for your environment. There is no need to use substances that burn or explode when you don't have to.
professional.
Hi Steven, I found a paper including the result that cleaning agent containing HCI reduces the purification performance of DOC. What do you think?
Hi, that's why I keep the solution very weak, and limit the time to 30 minutes.
In that link, the washcoat in CDPF was melted when using KOH cleaner.
So may I ask to you the alternative cleaner that you know for pre-wash?
Please forgive me question as I'm not mechanic, but from where this fuel goes to testing tubes ? And what is this tubes disconnected and putted into the white canister. I don't get it....and how is engine running if fuel goes into testing tubes...is this some excess of the fuel ?
Hi, this fuel is from the 'return' connection on each fuel injector - it is fuel that travels through the injector to keep it cool, and then it travels back to the fuel tank.
Excellent scientific and unbiased test. Suprising results.
Glad you like it :-)
How many grams of ash are allowed in the particulate filter volvo xc60 2.4 2012
Was it a Volvo v70 dpf?
Hi, it was a V50 I think.
