    Had the same thing with a crafter last week, could not get it to some down blow 15 to 18. dpf had over heated at some point and had damaged part of it. Nice info to put out there

    Hi Jimmy. I have a simmilar problem with a 2018 Peugeot boxer,same van. I makes regens every 7-10 km and the pressure won't go bellow 30mbar after cleaning, the tip of exhaust yas some ash deposit. 350.000 km and had the adblue pump disabled 100.000 km ago

    • @seghio
      @seghio 4 месяца назад +1

      A little update on my customers van. As you mentioned we took off the Dpf because it is easy to remove and cleaned with cleaner then rinse it with water. It was full of ash. Reset the dpf values. Now the pressures are nearly perfect and in 1000 km it made 2 regens, before it was regening every 7 km and the fan doesn't blow all the time any more. The only sign of a blocked dpf on these van if the cooling fan on full blow all the time.

  • @UKCCAutoTechs
    @UKCCAutoTechs 4 месяца назад +1

    The final diagnosis isnt necessarily correct. You've quoted yourself the amount of additive in the filter is high. You won't clear additive or ash out of a dpf with either a regen or the on-vehicle chemical clean you use but it will clean using a off vehicle clean because it flushes under pressure and in the reverse direction so the particales dont need to be broken down to clear.
    Chances of the dpf being physically damaged on one of those is unlikely, they are very robust, just needs correctly cleaning.

    I have a 2018 Peugeot boxer, 140,000 miles.I bought it in January to convert to a campervan for camping trips with my grandsons. But I'm having the same problem,regen every 20 miles or so and then loses power. I've been to several garages and never get a straight answer when i ask is cleaning them possible,just "replace dpf and cat." It seems they have the fancy computer but,unlike yourself,don't really know how to use it. Quotes for replacing them with new parts is beyond my budget,but one said using salvaged parts they can do for £1800. Is this worth doing?? The last garage suggested a "delete" for £500! Not the road I want to go down,but I'm at a loss as what to do on my limited budget as a pensioner. Any ideas as to what I can do?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    • @yreva532
      @yreva532 4 месяца назад +1

      if its every 20 miles it'll be beyond cleaning sadly, will either be damaged or full of ash which wouldnt be surprising at 140k miles and most of them being courier vehicles that need regens more often.

    • @kmcca08
      @kmcca08 4 месяца назад +4

      It all depends on your budget. If you can afford to replace the parts then do it, if not map it out. I know people say, oh no don’t remap your emissions equipment out, but if the replacement parts were way more affordable than they are, then people would be more inclined to replace rather than remap. Personally if it was mine, I’d be remapping it out. It won’t affect your road worthiness test either. Also 500 pounds seems a small bit steep for a remap. And also, if you do go down that route, get someone to do that knows what they’re doing. Lotta cowboys out there loading crap files onto your car and not doing it right.
