When was your last dpf regen?
Discussion
I don't have a diesel car, that would be stupid, but the company vehicle is diesel. Big arguments (mainly by the market leader) about the best way to deal with the emissions, DPF or DEF. Our use DEF so do EGR or DPF, just pump some Add Blue in the tank every now and then and no regen nonsense, well not until they have to meet the next round of regs anyway.

Never notice a temp change with mine, but it smells like burning rubber when mine regenerates.
My Dad bought his first diesel a couple of years ago, and didn't know they did this. He got out of the car and started checking all the tyres, thinking one must be dragging and burning. He was very relieved that his brand new car didn't have massively wonky suspension alignment after I had told him what it probably was

there are systems around that already use all three add blue or def as its also know gets jetted into the exhaust, regen should be done actively as long as there is not to much idling, but there should be a passive regen if the soot build up gets to high sweendoggydog said:

:lol: I work for a commercial vehicle manufacturer, current joke is that for Euro 6 what you actually get is an exhaust, with a little engine attached to it. There is an ECU, for the the exhaust. Bonkers.
( Funniest thing about all this emissions tech is that when you eventually do release all your nasty stuff, it all comes out in one big cloud

I don't think I have ever noticed any of my company diesels do a regen!
Most of our cars at work don't have DPF's. However, as they are all now over 100,000 of the hardest miles known to man, they are starting to smoke terribly (and they're only 1.3CDTi Astras!). I was driving one a few weeks ago that was akin to the James Bond smokescreen! Of course, a bit of smoke from the exhaust is the lesser of two evils as unlike a DPF'd car, it'll still work when it's old and coked.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
