Just took mine off...snapped both bolts on the clamps...ugh. THEN I snapped the threaded nipple off where the temp sensor sits so now I gotta get a new one welded on.
You already got the dpf out. You should have done a better job. Instead of hitting etc. Just use a drain acid (50/50 with water) for a first flush and 2nd flush to get the soot out and then use brick acid hcl (25/75 with water) for a 3rd and 4th flush to get the dust accumulation out. This is a pretty expensive piece you don't want to ruin it with foam and or hitting it a bunch of times. It's not gonna last long.
Don't tappet it:)) The purpose for cleaning outside of the car is to clean the ash which it never gets burned. The soot will burn when the car make the regen but the ash only disolves in water and HCl and caustic soda
Im planning on using a leaf blower to push dust out in a large bucket filled with water , then pressure wash it again with the dirty water coming i a large bucket, use ammonia solution found in alloy wheel cleaners ,then water and repeat and last dry it with leaf blower.reinstall after 24 hours
Yes, it is a dumb question. Why would you ask? If somebody posts a DIY how to video about how to do something, then why would you ask "is this how you do it?" Just use the meat between your ears to think about it for a minute.
Well for one thing, there is a differential pressure sensor to detect the presence of a DPF. The ECU would throw a code if the sensor reported 0 value. You could take a regular pipe and fill it with sand, and then weld on the diff tubes to fool the sensor.
@@tikhy3545 The pressure sensor is attached to the vehicle frame above the tail end of the DPF. It has 2 rubber hoses leading to it. Look for the wire harness and rubber hoses. Look under your car.
This will accomplish nothing useful. You need a pressure washer. I saw another video of a guy who cut the DPF open, cleaned it, then rewelded it back together. YMMV
Everyone relax. It's a master class in dead-pan humor. That's how you do it!

Did Mine with 2 cans of brake cleaner... worked well for 70tkm
Never kick a DPF or catalytic converter with a hammer.
There is Dpf fluid available for sale to soak it and clean it.
I don't know why everybody hates this video?
I think because you hit it with the hammer and hit it on the ground as it can be deadly to some ceramic DPF inserts, good video otherwise

I think that might work too.
Hi. How long has the DPF lasted since you cleaned it out?
it's been about 50K Miles, and its still flowing.
I have a question. Sorry if it sounds dumb but........is that how you do it!!?
Yes, it is a dumb question. Why would you ask? If somebody posts a DIY how to video about how to do something, then why would you ask "is this how you do it?" Just use the meat between your ears to think about it for a minute.
Yep "that's how you do it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did it work ?
Yes sir!
Joe are you Comedian?
Ask your wife for advice
Ha Ha Ha
No way this guy is serious.
why not just remove it and replace with a regular pipe? wouldn't that solve any issues

@@BiffMartin hey do you where the differential pressure sensor is located on this? I can't seem to find it thanks

Lol

Is this a joke?
No, this is for real. It really does remove the soot.
Ha ha ha
wtf did i just watch!?
What comes first dpf or cat ?
The CAT is first, attached directly to the turbo. DPF is the last thing.
So eine Riesen Umweltsauerrei-meine Güte-keine Ahnung von nix der Type.
Not good enough.
It is good enough. 2 years later, this DPF is still clean!
A fool
add muriatic acid as well but do not over do it
