Wynn's 28263 Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner Fuel Additive DPF Regenerator Treatment For Passenger Car

Product Information

Costs for this serve seem to vary but in most cases it is much cheaper than a replacement filter and not illegal like DPF removal (more on that below). Part of Liqui Moly’s Pro Line of products, the German branded Liqui Moly DPF cleaner takes our top spot. Liqui Moly claim it’ll dissolve hardened, dense and encrusted contaminants on the surface of diesel particulate filters ensuring optimum performance at all times. As well as restoring performance of the engine, crucially, it’ll also improve fuel consumption significantly. Liqui Moly have built up an excellent reputation for producing exemplary car care products and this DPF cleaner is arguably one of their most impressive products yet. The key features of Liqui Moly Pro Line DPF cleaner are; You may get a strange smell coming from the engine bay or underneath of the car. Common smells are a foul, eggy like smell and you also get a burning smell which can be alarming to say the least! Follow the simple instructions to apply the DFP cleaner. Once you’re done move on to the second step below.

SAVE UP TO" is calculated as the saving obtained between the cheapest and most expensive quotes on the same job type where at least 15% have obtained the promoted SAVE UP TO saving within the radius from which the quote is collected. This is done by applying the product through the pressure sensor tube or by removing an oxygen or temperature sensor and applying the product directly to the filter. What is the recommended method for cleaning the particulate filter? Preventive maintenance: He went on to say, “We’re asking the ASA to clamp down on those advertising these dubious practices … But we’re also calling on the Government to make it illegal to remove these pollution filters in the first place”.I'm championing the Alpina D3 S (in green, obviously) and the utterly stupid but interesting Audi Q7 V12 TDI. Diesel Particulate Filter cleaner is designed to give your engine a good clean from the inside out. It is a chemical treatment which helps to reduce the soot emissions generated by your engine, regenerate the Diesel Particulate Filter and clean away any existing soot particles. Prior to the conception of DPF filters, those harmful exhaust gasses were being pumped straight out into the atmosphere.

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. Btw, no chemical added to your fuel tank can clean a DPF. All these additives are doing is introducing alcohols into your engine which burn at a slightly higher temp than gasoline or diesel would. Alcohols are generally corrosive to your motor, eating a way at seals and many metallic components. ReplyUsing a DPF cleaning additive as a preventative measure could potentially save you thousands in repair bills. If your car is suffering with a fuelling, or EGR valve system problem, it can prevent a DPF regeneration from taking place. Update ! (2016)We’ve been speaking to some industry experts on this matter and we’d like to offer an updated view.

Update – October 2023– We have updated our product recommendations in line with some excellent new products that have been released in the UK market. Correct oil specification when servicing a vehicle is essential for the life and efficiency of the diesel particulate filter. Oils with a low SAPS (sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur) content, commonly known as “Low SAPS”, should be used. You may notice a rough and different idle to your car engine. It may be jerky and unsteady when stationery, due to the gasses not flowing properly through the DPF filter.

It’s my second Dacia and will be dealer serviced whilst under warranty. Thereafter I’ll self-service it using the correct Renault/Dacia fluids. I’ve no qualms about removing the EGR every 50k or so to clean it, and hope to be able to get towards 100k or so before I need to pull the dpf for an overnight bath in Wynns DPF cleaner and a gentle up-stream power wash, before replacing it. 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. So, drive your car once in a while down a dual carriage way for 20-30 mins. If the warning light comes on (Orange) then definately do this asap or the next step is an expensive garage fix. SAVING ON AVERAGE" and "AVERAGE PRICE" are calculated as an overall average of prices and savings obtained on quotes on the same job type within the radius from which quotations are obtained. I am hopeful that this cleaning is the best option and comfortable in knowing that my original dpf is a genuine part and will fit properly.

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. In most cases, this process can be carried out when the vehicle is stationary, but some models require on-road driving to be carried out. To see the lowest possible price and the biggest possible current savings, "The whole country" must be selected in the offer overview when a job is created. It’s no wonder we are all so confused. My 2013 Transit handbook says nothing of any real use about the DPF or regen process. I wouldn’t surprised if most other vehicle handbooks were the same, i.e. bloody useless! There is no indication on my dash that a regen is taking place & I have never noticed it running any differently that might indicate a regen. It doesn’t smoke so the soot, is going somewhere (DPF) but the exhaust fumes do smell different from my old pre-DPF van. 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.After many many miles (100k) the ash resulting from the burnt carbon may require physical, off the car cleaning.
