Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi code P242F. DFP regeneration.

Thank you
Hi
This car came to me in limp mode, not rev above 3000 RPM.
On the PCM codes for the DPF were set...
Performing a regeneration seemed to do the trick, but looks like this DPF might needs changing soon...
Follow me on this video, as I will take you through the regeneration procedure with the MaxiSys...
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

    Problem will back in not long time. Check flow on the DPF additional fuel injector. I think so flow is low or no flow.

For those who thought about your neighbours I have only one thing to say . That's the price you pay for wanting a cleaner environment that turned out to be a big and expensive failure .

    Just go on the highway and keep your car at about 3000 rpm 4-5 gear to match the rpm. I usually go once in a week or 2 weeks on highway and go about 140kmp for about 15 minits and then i can really feel the car having more power and going very well, because you can clough up the car in the city going slow speeds and low rpm.

    my mrs had this engine in a mazda , nothing but problems with dpf light coming on , £50 quid to top up dpf fluid then £40 quid for garage to reset the dpf fluid code . Worked fine for a month then dpf codes come back on we took it up motorway in 4th gear and gave it blast out . light went out and everythink fine for few weeks and then happen again. She had a Ford cmax 1.8tdci before and all that had was same problems and costing her money because stupid dpf codes kept coming up . In the end i told her to get rid of the car and buy a petrol engine . Her dads having the same problem with the dpf on his car and he said he NEVER BUY A DIESEL CAR again . I told her now keep away from diesels with dpf on . Nothing but problems and too much and too expensive on them . She had a ford focus 1.6 petrol now for a year and had no problems whats so ever . Every diesel car she had as had nothing but problems with dpf, egr clogging injectors .

    I think the health and safety message about hot exhaust gases, adequate ventilation and all of that should probably warn you that you will be subject to the sound of a diesel sitting at 4k possibly causing depression. If conducted outside of a workshop environment the forced regen may also piss off your neighbours quite badly😆

    Is it dosing the DPF fluid correctly? On my 1.6 TDCi I found an intermittent reed switch / sensor that detects magnet on the fuel filler flap so was not dosing on each fill up. I would also have added a DPF cleaner into the fuel tank before doing a static regen. My idling pressure is 0.3 and has only ever reached 1.6 on a run. Hopefully it will continue to go down now

I have some recommendations to the owner; - always buy high quality diesel, like shell v-power - avoid going low revs on long times, use the engine on 1700-2500 rpms daily driving - from time to time, go on a highway and go up to between 3000-3500 rpm on third or fourth gear, drive like this for 10-15 minutes to clean up the exhaust and dpf system.

    And as with ALL China diagnostic machines, read how to regen using the proper VCI to get an idea what the procedure will be. Autel, Launch etc. etc. make you think you have to turn off the ignition when you have to leave it on. When doing anything on a Ford and a 600 second counter appears, leave it running. 600 seconds is 10 minutes which is Ford's favourite timer length. With the readings after you finished this one might be back.

    @@s3bby513 I am aware of the requirements to qualify for trade plates.I am just saying that they absolutely do not provide blanket coverage to drive any vehicle, in any condition, on the roads. Their sole purpose is to negate the need to register and tax a roadworthy vehicle whilst it is being moved from place to place, test driven by a potential buyer, or following a repair.. Provided you have valid insurance, it is not necessary to use trade plates to drive to and from a pre-booked MOT test. Nothing can prevent you falling foul of the law if you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle.

    Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is what it says. Diesel engines have particulates which are harmful to the lungs. The filter is designed to capture these particulates and burn them off during a normal regen cycle. The regen cycle tends to happen when the car is driving at a constant, like fast road or motorway. Depending on the car, regen uses either a fifth injector. As corrected by Ian U, ad-blue is used to reduce other emissions! This why modern diesels are not suitable for town driving. If they are not given the time to regen, the DPF will get full causing the issues shown in the video. Here is a Wiki on the subject - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_particulate_filter Some petrol direct injection cars are starting to have particulate filters too - www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/volkswagen-equips-petrol-cars-particulate-filter-technology

I noticed that I usually run car for about 25km's or more when regeneration has triggered automatically. It's really easy to dismiss required stats for it to trigger.
