I feel it is my duty to thank you, I have a Kia Sportage tgdi, I had already had this problem once and I had done about 50 km in 4th gear at 4,000 rpm and the light had gone off. the problem recurred but this time I couldn't turn it off. following your video, the light went off after about 5/10 minutes. a huge thank you for the help and the very simple explanation

Hi Brian. Success! It finally cleared this afternoon. 3rd time lucky. What I did different this time was put it in Sports mode as you suggested, and it did the trick. Your help since I got my Tucson phev last June has been invaluable. I found it virtually impossible to contact my local dealer once I'd taken delivery of the car. So thank you once again. 👏

Thanks for watching and for the kind words, 🙂👍it’s a lot of work in the automatic for most people, I think the way you have to look at it is try and get a car on the motorway at for 20 or 30 minutes every two or three weeks and it will avoid the gasoline particular filter clogging. So it’s preventive maintenance would be the best way to avoid the issue in the first place, but at least if it does happen, there is a way to work around it rather than having to wait to get into the workshop.🙂

Hi i have a 22 plate Hyundai Tuscon 1.6 TGDI Premium , my light has come on again, and after speaking to a mechanic at work, i took my car out for an hour doing 60mph in 3rd gear at 4,000 revs and the light was still there. I repeated this the next night for 45 minutes and the light is still there. Any suggestions please?

Here's one Brian. I've been using just the EV mode on my Tucson phev as the particle filter hasn't cleared yet, and I don't want to make it worse. I've noticed, though, that even without using petrol, the fuel gauge is still going down. Haven't used the heater either.. any ideas? Thanks.

@doolanbrian

4 ай бұрын

Can’t be 100% sure, but from what I know, there is a float in the tank so it might need some fuel floor to give a more accurate reading, are you sure the engine has not engaged in the last while ? Do you still have warning on your dash for particulate filter ?

Hi Brian. Took your advice with my Tucson petrol hybrid. Hasn't cleared it yet, but my question is; will the steps I've taken so far, have started to clear the filter, or is it a matter of, it can only be cleared in a single continuous run. Thanks.

@doolanbrian

4 ай бұрын

Excellent question, in my opinion, it needs the continuous run as there are various thresholds that need to be satisfied before it completes, although it is possible that there might be some partial amount of carbon burnt out on your first run👍

I'm guessing the lift off the pedal i so that the gpf can get more oxygen? Do you have to lift off like that in a manual as well, or is it like the dfp?

Hi. As far as I know, the engine hasn't kicked in. We've just done a couple of trips, 2-3 miles and back. The fuel is getting low so that could be as you suggest, giving a false reading. Yes, my warning light is still on, solid though, not flashing. I suspect my local stretch of motorway might not be long enough for a sustained run at the required speed for the length of time needed.

Thanks a lot for the video. Before I try it with my Tucson with automatic gear box, I have a question. Would it be different in a cold weather or will it take more time to clear the GPF?

I've already driven about 50km on a motorway but without lowering gear box to gear 4, it was in automatic mode, light is still on (not flashing).

You are absolutely correct unfortunately the process seems to be more difficult in colder weather, it might even make more sense to wait until the middle of the day when the temperature maybe creeps a little bit higher? I can’t tell you this for certain, but I think there is some logic to your idea of it being affected by cold weather.

Diesel Hyundai Tucson

I don’t have 30mins and a spare £7 in fuel every time the car produces this fault, after all it is not my driving style that decides to change gear at low revs, coast (called Sailing) at times, and stop the engine in stationary traffic - that would be the car. Having tried the reset method and it didn’t work , the first time the light came on, my dealer revved it at standstill until the headers and turbo glowed cherry red. Nice for an engine with 700 miles on the clock. How long will that engine last? Not very ‘green’ is it? And will I also get compensation for all the pointless journeys I am doing when I blow my annual lease mileage? Last Hyundai I will buy.

Unfortunately, the modern engines are subject to different criterias for emissions, compared with the Peugeot you had, the more they try to reduce the emissions from the engine, the more complex they get, . The method by which carbon is trapped and burned even on the older model Tucson is less stringent than it is on the more modern ones, so the new ones actually need more motorway driving than the old ones👍
