2:37 so my Vauxhall Insignia 2009 suddenly went into LIMP mood. If I press the Accelerator full, it will go 20mph. I get a fault code P2453 DPF pressure sensor fault. As I did not have a new sensor, just did DPF static regeneration, lots of blue smoke came out & it cleared the fault code. Not showing any DPF sensory fault and car now driving fine. I already bought a new DPF Sensor from eBay. Can you tell me, how do I know if the DPF sensory is working or Faulty.

great job, you should increase your voise little bit😊 thx for sharing your knowledge.

Could you tell me how you managed to get the computer to regen as I have a blocked dpf and can't get it to either tried two shop computers on it now ?..

" distance since dpf filter last changed 3036 Km "so its got a blocked dpf and someone reset the counters already, people need to understand its a servicable item and cleaning only removes a proportion of the blockage, theres a counter for dpf life and they predict 80k miles for a filter then a new one is needed

So you still have not explained how you fixed it......

My car is absolutely dead can anyone help please

I did mine on My Bipper today.Motorway driving for about 30 mins.

@@michaelreidy3343 Hi Michael,yes about 30 mins or so.Went between junctions on M40 local to Me,About 20 miles of Motorway driving,up through the gears,stayed in fourth for a while then cruised in fifth at about 65-70 mph.Only really use the van for local journey's,so after about 6 weeks come on again.Went for a drive on local fast 'A' road about 50-60 mph for about 30 mins again and this did the trick also.BUT,I think the best thing I did was switch to Shell Diesel on the last couple of refills rather than use Supermarket fuel.I will stick with Shell,as no sign of light coming on again.Hope this works for You.Regards,Starman.

Thankyou for Your Advice, My EML came on Today and the OBD has indicated to the DPF, drove home for about 20 minutes but its seems to be in limp mode as it only goes to 3k RPM so in 4th gear it struggled between 65-70mph, Was Yours in Limp Mode and did yours have the EML on? Issue I also have is my van is limited to 70mph (ex Electricity Van) I Will try longer tomorrow on the Motorway, Thanks

@@michaelreidy3343 No limp mode the last two times,but I had limp mode about six years ago not long after I had bought the van.i had a mechanic friend have a look,and he talked about a 'sticky intake valve'??.Sometimes turning the ignition on/off three times or so quick will reset the computer to clear limp mode.I wouldn't worry about massive revs/thrashing just drive constant fast road instead of start/stop urban driving.I wouldn't want to drive a Bipper much faster than 70mph as there not really Motorway vans.Let Me know how You get on.Regards,Starman.
