Wynn's 18985 5L Off-Car Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner Removes Soot & Deposits From DPFs

Product Information

If your diesel car is fitted with a DPF, it’s imperative that you use DPF compliant engine oil. Using an oil that doesn’t meet the required specifications for your engine can result in catostrophic failure. The car was running just fine, although it was drinking a lot of diesel. The only other symptom was a flashing glow plug light.

If you have a manual car I suggest second gear and a speed of around 50 mph or you can try third gear at around 80 mph. Over the last 10 years, air pollution has become a public health emergency and it is further alleged that particulate pollution is now responsible for around 50,000 avoidable deaths every year in the UK.The cost of using a dedicated DPF cleaner regularly is far cheaper than the cost of a DPF repair or replacement, it’s a great preventative measure which is now an essential part of maintaining our vehicles. You need to make sure you choose the best DPF Cleaner you can afford to get the best results possible. How Long Does The DPF Cleaner Take To Work?

The dodgy practice of removing pollution filters from cars is not only risking people’s health but also putting drivers at risk of prosecution for the simple fact that it’s illegal to drive a car with its DPF removed.” This will depend on the types of journey you do. If you drive on a motorway regularly for extended periods of time, you’ll need to use DPF cleaner less often than a typical “around town” driver. A passive regeneration occurs when the vehicle exhaust system has reached a particular temperature after a sustained period of driving at specific speeds. Generally, this occurs when driving on a motorway at speeds of around 50-70mph for more than 30 minutes. The EGR valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve), sits in the engine bay and exhaust gasses flow through it before moving on through the DPF filter. Because diesel fuel is quite oily in it’s formulation, diesel cars often suffer from carbon build up in the engine. An EGR valve is a prime candidate for coking up with carbon and often results in reduced gas flow through the valve. Again, a common cause for EGR valve problems is frequent short journeys around town as opposed to motorway journeys. Put the numbers to one side and notice that hundreds of car repair garages continue to offer the removal of DPF filters. MP’s are labelling this practice as ‘detrimental to people’s health’ and ‘unacceptable’.

You can also use the DPF cleaner in conjuction with cheaper diesel as opposed to using more premium diesel fuels at each fill up. Should I Use A DPF cleaner If My Warning Light Is Not On? No, you cannot have your DPF removed. It’s a legal requirement in the UK and if removed, your car will immediately fail an MOT test.Founded in 1971, FoE is a federation of 74 groups from all over the world who are dedicated to saving the environment. One of their primary causes involves complaining to the ASA about the prevalence of adverts for DPF removal services. Because DPF filters have limited size and capacity, they can only store a limited amount of exhaust soot. Once the system has reached it’s capacity threshold (usually around 80%), the vehicle will attempt to begin a process called “Regeneration” What Is A DPF Regeneration?
