Try it your self DPF clean

How to clean the DPF yourself.

Before you read any further it is important that you understand that the DPF warning light appearing is a completely normal thing to happen, the DPF warning is just advising you that the DPF needs to regenerate itself and that you need to follow the instructions in the owners manual for the dpf to clean itself.

If you cant find the instructions then follow these simple instructions which will work on most vehicles

1. Make sure that the Engine Management Light is NOT on.

2. Ensure that the vehicle has at least 1/4 of a tank of fuel

3. Turn on as many electrical items as you can,  Air conditioning, Lights, Heated rear window, radio etc.

4. Find a long stretch of road where you can drive for up to 15 miles without stopping - Dual carriageway or motorway etc.

5. Drive the car until normal temperature has been reached

6. Once warm, Drive the car in any gear that allows you to maintain 2,000 RPM suitable for the speed you are driving, in automatics you will need to select sport mode if possible and select the gear manually

7. Drive the car with the engine speed of 2,000 RPM until either the dpf light goes off or until you have covered at least 30 miles.
