The carbon is only 20 % of the problem the other 80% is the ash that you can't see inside.Yes you will get a result but it will only last until you put back that 20% carbon because the chemical you bought only dissolves carbon not ash.To dissolve the real problem the ash,you need 25% hcl to 75% water,stop off the narrow pipe and keep filling and emptying the dpf every 30 minutes.The colour of the water when flushing will be dark pink (ash) .Flush out until clear. Now you have cleaned the main problem.
@@AM-dn4lk It's dilluted and theres one guy who did experiments with DPF materials. It slowly dissolved ash but did not react to metals. Obviously it's a 2 step process. remove carbon deposits and then remove ash. 99% Commercial chemical cleaners just remove the carbon and not the ash itself so pretty pointless considering he took the filter out and went through all that trouble not knowing he didn't actually clean it. Yeah, this video is not about cleaning the DPF but just removing carbon. You could see at the end how bad the flow through the filter still was.
There's some more videos by a guy who experimented with all kinds of chemicals. I'll cut to the chase: Remove DPF from vehicle, soak in a plastic tub (obviously wear gloves, safety glasses, protective clothing) (1) Precleaner commerical drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide) - removes soot, (2) Pool acid (muriatic/hydrochloric acid 32%) diluted 4:1 with water - removes ash. Soak for a couple of hours in each solution then rinse. Gets all the ash out. Pressure cleaning may help rinse but use low pressure or you'll damage the ceramic substrate. 4:1 diluted pool acid won't damage the stainless steel DPF case. Then reinstall and do a forced regeneneration.
Yep ...totally true, if you don't tackle the Ash problem it will only last a very short time, all those so called " DPFCleaners in a bottle" are a short term fix only, you NEED to dissolve the ash for a totally clean virtually as new DPF ....Fact.@@Pohmell18

Well Sir how do you do it then? This procedure has fixed a lot of the issues people have with blocked DPFs not one has come back since the clean with a damaged DPF, so what the deal?
Had the same problem, did exactly as you but notice it's hard to get all the areas with the pressure washer, ended cleaning with the flash cleaner £200 but it came like new. It's also highly recommend to change the DPF pressure sensor as it's a common fault. Anyway, excellent video as usual
Had one of these 204s with DPF issue. Dealer said it needed a new one! Friend took it to me and I put it on Star. There is a way of forcing DPF regeneration in the car which requires Star and driving the car to a certain temp + over a certain speed for 20 mins or something like that can recall details just now. It worked - Car regenerated it's DPF same day on a test drive and didnt bat an eyelid after.
I'm on my 12th year with the same diesel equiped Ram and have never had any work done on the DPF. It goes weeks between highway trips and have never even seen the DPF regen light come on. The truck is supposed to regen about as often as the range of one tank of fuel. Apparently some owners of the 6.7L Cummins have had particulate filters get full to the point where the truck won't regen (not sure how they get to this point). The solution posted on line is to drive the truck in a gear that has the engine over 2,000 rpm and after a time the truck will start to show the DPF filter level go from 100% to 90% to 80% to 70% at which point the regen will start. There are also reports that extended use of the exhaust brake can make the DPF filter level drop.
hi never tried boiling water but will do .good way to loosen soot. with power washing I use hard plastic cv boot on end of dpf secured with clip and secure power wash lance with cable tie it does increase pressure of power wash . boiling water good tip
In Germany we go on the Autobahn and drive full speed for 200 km/h to start the regenerationprocess. The DPF gets so hot, that the soot burns away. In this process no harmfull gasses occur. It's the natural Freibrennen how it is engineered to work.
If you DPF is full its full you can’t burn it you need too clean it because there is to much ash in it! And before it 200 is not necessary just 130-140kmh in the fifth gear!
Very nice solution! In Russia many people prefer to cut off all DPF, EGR, catalytic neutralizers and other ecological systems even on new and not cheap cars just not to service it. You can easily see for example X5 M40D accelerating with big black smoke behind it.
Such problems only occur when driving short distances. My Mercedes regenerates its DPF after exactly 1000 km and everything is fine. The vehicle now has almost 300,000 km with the first DPF and I know people who are still traveling over 800,000 km with the first DPF. The problem is the people who buy the wrong car. Diesel is for people who drive long distances. Active DPf regeneration can only begin after 10 km. Then another 20-30 km are necessary to complete the regeneration. if someone constantly drives less than 10 km, they definitely have the wrong car. The DPF is full again after a few weeks.
I think it is time to make the DPF structure easier to clean. It is not eco-friendly to use special equipment and solvents forever. The manufacturers should change the DPF structure so that it is as easy as replacing the engine air cleaner.
Wynns off-car dpf cleaner is the dogs danglies. If that solution doesn't clean out the dpf, then it probably cannot be saved. Mercman uses the same method that most garages use when confronted with this problem and most of the time, but not all of the time, this product does the job.
Il a dit qu’il a rejeté l’eau dans une station de lavage pour auto qui justement possède des filtres et des systèmes de dépollution. Mais bon, j’imagine que certains vont faire ça et jeter dans les toilettes.. au mieux
Good job.It shall conduct all CRDI engines up to 100000kms to get good performance... EGR also clean for thebKms to get best performance of Turbo chatger
I would be concerned about an engine that is only guaranteed to get good performance for 60,000 miles/100,000km. My current engine really wasn't broken in until around that mileage. No need to clean the EGR, just unplug the valve so it can never open. Pumping soot back into your engine is a bad idea to start with. If you want to keep your turbocharger at peak performance cool it down properly. Engine shutdown delay systems make this pretty easy (vehicle runs until turbo temps drop to a level that won't cook the oil).
A quick note about DPF problems... Don't assume the DPF filter is blocked when the warning light comes on. There's one thing you must check first. Always.. check the air filter! True story........ We had a Honda accord idetc and it was always kept fully serviced by Honda dealer (at considerable cost) , when one day the DPF light came on. Honda regenerated the system (£175) It was ok for a month and the light came on again ,Honda regenerated the system a second time for another £175 and warned that if it happened again we would need a new DPF filter for over £1k. At that point I decided to have a look myself and started at the air intake. The filter paper was like a black block of goo coated with dust...even though it had supposedly been changed twice by the dealership! One new filter later and a run up and down the local fast road...light went off and car came out of "limp mode".
Hi, you should wash it backwards to really get it clean! You dont want to push the soot and ash deeper into the pores of the material but to take them off and out. As you see on the video, most of the flow is up from where you are trying to push water in.
Hello there, I am hoping to get some advice before purchase. Vehicle in question 2014 GLK250 w/ OM651 2.1 liter I inspected the vehicle and test drove it today with some findings from my OBD2, it appears there may be some DTCs my scanner is unable to read because it gave a message indicating something along those lines. Detectable codes are as follows: p2201 Nox Sensor circuit range/performance Bank1 P2033 EGT Sensor circuit high bank 1 sensor 2 P2084 EGT Sensor circuit range/performance bank 1 sensor 2 P2201 code repeated Check engine light on and constant. Drive-ability was good, nothing abnormal noted. Tailpipes appeared to have some sort of white corrosion/powdering on them? This is my first experience with a MB diesel since w123 300TD, so quite a bit is new to me. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.The only repairs I could find in service records were for an ECM reprogram, a key replacement, and a non-descript "wiring repair."

You're actually lucky the dpf is so easily accessible. Skoda basically build the car round the dpf, so the problem is getting access to it, which costs at least £400 unless you are a competent mechanic.
This dirty water goes into the drain, which connects to our car wash’s drainage system, and our car wash has a commercial drainage filtration system which gets cleaned and replaced regularly..
Nice video man! It looks like you washed that into a normal ground water drain, you shouldn't do this as the oil and chemicals will go straight to our rivers. It's better for the environment if you at least wash it into a sewer, like through your sink, or even some kind of chemical tank.
Your mileage doesn't match between both diagnostic screens (0:46 & 5:55). It seems that you have a 2nd car where you want to show us the "cleaned" DPF. On the other hand, ash content is very important it shows how much ash remains in the DPF after all the regenerations. In this case a forced regeneration would also "clean" the filter.
But this is where you are wrong, he started at the entrance side, the long neck is the exit side and the fat wide open flange is the entrance. I'm a diesel technician he did this 100% how your supposed to
GREAT video! My USA model 2009 GL320 is burning oil like a quart every 500-700 miles. DPF code on, and power loss. Hope it can be removed like you did. What if the guts were knocked out of it to unclog it and you put it back on? Will the diesel still run? Less restriction probably a wonderful thing.
I don't know about the Mercedes diesels, but the Cummins, Powerstrokes and Duramax run great with the DPF core removed. You have to trick a couple of sensors or add a tuner to avoid a check engine light. I unplugged my EGR valve in the closed position and have a check engine light that is on all the time. Since I'm used to ignoring the TPMS warning lights it doesn't really bother me.
I had my DPF clean & flush ( DPF wasn't taken off the car ), replace a pressure sensor also regenerate and the issue still remains ( engine management light on ) . When I took the car back to the garage I was told that I need to replace the DPF having already spent over £300 . Any advice would be much appreciated
Hello, I noticed that you were doing all of your cleaning in the same direction as the exhaust flow. I would have guessed you would want to be doing all the cleaning and rinsing in the opposite direction of the exhaust flow, to effectively be BACKFLUSHING the filter - am I missing something or do you think it makes no difference? I'm getting ready to do this on my TDI and never done it before, but logic would say to backflush rather than forward flush...?
Yes you are correct it will be more effective if you do it the opposite direction of exhaust flow, but on this case the opposite direction of the DPF has a long exhaust pipe which is curved, so the jet wash wouldn’t be as effective opposite way, thats why i done it this way because i can get in really well with the jet wash..
@Martyn Watson I know. But the gaps i filter are small and water vapor raises the pressure ... and ceramic crack between the gaps ... why DPF need to be in 60-80°C About 3-4h become dry.
I would never reset dpf value without checking back pressure on dpf after cleaning or after fitting new one so many new parts are shot in current time even when buying directly from Mercedes that is very dangerous I don’t know if you done it because it doesn’t says on video but otherwise great job

@@FordBossMe No. You're supposed to clean them correctly or replace them.
GREAT video! My USA model 2009 GL320 is burning oil like a quart every 500-700 miles. DPF code on, and power loss. Hope it can be removed like you did. What if the guts were knocked out of it to unclog it and you put it back on? Will the diesel still run? Less restriction probably a wonderful thing.
I don't know about the Mercedes diesels, but the Cummins, Powerstrokes and Duramax run great with the DPF core removed. You have to trick a couple of sensors or add a tuner to avoid a check engine light. I unplugged my EGR valve in the closed position and have a check engine light that is on all the time. Since I'm used to ignoring the TPMS warning lights it doesn't really bother me.
We are cleaning warranty and testing after fitting the vehicle 👍
hello, how did You reset the DPF in Xentry? thanks!
I had my DPF clean & flush ( DPF wasn't taken off the car ), replace a pressure sensor also regenerate and the issue still remains ( engine management light on ) . When I took the car back to the garage I was told that I need to replace the DPF having already spent over £300 . Any advice would be much appreciated
It's a great machine to clean dpf, please watch it. ruclips.net/user/shorts1stnVGyPRtg?feature=share
Hi, Mercedes e class 220 is the same ? My car doesn’t have power (speed) is the because of the DPF block or EGR or turbo ? Can you plz help me out.
Hello, I noticed that you were doing all of your cleaning in the same direction as the exhaust flow. I would have guessed you would want to be doing all the cleaning and rinsing in the opposite direction of the exhaust flow, to effectively be BACKFLUSHING the filter - am I missing something or do you think it makes no difference? I'm getting ready to do this on my TDI and never done it before, but logic would say to backflush rather than forward flush...?
Yes you are correct it will be more effective if you do it the opposite direction of exhaust flow, but on this case the opposite direction of the DPF has a long exhaust pipe which is curved, so the jet wash wouldn’t be as effective opposite way, thats why i done it this way because i can get in really well with the jet wash..
Any ideas how to get a dpf temperature sensor and install it, preferably not from a Mercedes dealer.. Cheers
👍💪👌
5:30 you cracked DPF ... wet DPF can not go to car ... it's reason why is 0,0% fill 😂 nice job 🤣🤣
@Martyn Watson I know. But the gaps i filter are small and water vapor raises the pressure ... and ceramic crack between the gaps ... why DPF need to be in 60-80°C About 3-4h become dry.
The filter should be properly dried properly before starting the engine, otherwise it may crack.
talking shite. its ceramic with a fiberglass padding wrapped around and its encased in mesh and then mild steel
@UC7IBdtL4pHJt6AeWCQdeOWw thus making it even more prone to cracking due to steam. You idiot.
@@clayton9136 How is steam going to crack it? hahaha. Steam is quite literally a byproduct of burning fuel
@@clayton9136 go back to school dummy. You just embarassed yourself 🤣🤣🤣
anyone unfamiliar should look into how this problem is addressed on teir 4 compliant farm tractors . Not the answer for all but informative .
What's the solution ?
Fill level is determined by mileage no? Once you reset the interval, it thinks its just a fresh DPF.
also use the pressure washer in both directions
Try hot water and caustic soda, sprinkle caustic so sreat in after boiling water scoops at a time !
Did you notice a difference in performance of the vehicle?
I would never reset dpf value without checking back pressure on dpf after cleaning or after fitting new one so many new parts are shot in current time even when buying directly from Mercedes that is very dangerous I don’t know if you done it because it doesn’t says on video but otherwise great job
What diagnostic software do you use in this video? Seems very comprehensive compared to most
Thats the factory diagnostic software, xentry diagnosis
Whats the normal shelf life of a merc filter ? Im ford we expect 150000 miles ish
What diagnistic tool or software are you using ? Thanks
Hey MercMan I’m looking at a S300 W222 Bluetec. 30K miles. Should I stay away from this motor?
why not start the manual regeneration? Or reset and have a spirited drive or rent a big trailer if you have a tow hook
clean vice versa
what part of London are you based? do you have a website need to book my car in
Nice job MercMan can i ask what diagnostic equip you used?
