Glad you're feeling better Mel. All these DPF and EGR problems have put me off modern diesel's, I don't do enough miles to keep them clean. Unfortunately getting a modern second hand van that runs on petrol seems impossible these days. Old vans are simply old...harder to get certain parts for and repairs and maintenance kind of increases with age. I think I'm going back to a petrol car and just use my little foldup ESTEREL caravan 9'x5' when I need a break... Yes back to campsites for the most part 😆

Hello Mr. DIY, I know how a person can get sick from fumes / toxin overload. When I wire brush rusty parts , for example, with out gloves & mask, I'm useless next day. You struggled on and my cap off to you. I owned (3) different VW Transporter Euro vans, but after most of their life was exhausted by a couriour company, I seemed to be doing repairs more than driving them. If I ever need another diesel van, your's would definately be on my radar. Thanks for your video dispite your feeling so crappy. Hope it's running well for you now.

Sometimes after cleaning the dpf you have to use a diagnostic tool to tell the vehicle it has had a new dpf fitted in order to get the vehicles system to reset itself and turn off the engine management light.

Wishing you well. I recommend looking into the Terrain Model of health and detox. The more I learn about these diesel emissions systems the more I think it's all a circle jerk. It seems better to just spew straight diesel exhaust into the air then to employ all these complicated systems that only seem to delay the toxic stuff from ending up in our ecosystems.

Good to see you on the road to recovery, but risking the troll of the week, you were a bit silly trying to do the exhaust when feeling so unwell and weak. I guess your pleased look and happy expression at the end made all the effort worthwhile, but that unfortunately is the result of using such chemicals. Although not the best for the environment, they are designed to do what it say on the tin, and clean out your DPF, its difficult to have it both ways which is why I suppose some people get the garage to do it. Fair play to your persistence, it paid off. Take care and happy travels.

Wow Mel, that was painful to watch mate! Time will tell if things are fixed I guess. Interesting about the gear shifting. Most model tranny ecm's will learn your driving habits e.g. After a winter and defensive driving, the shift patterns shorten up. So now you've cleared code etc etc and the engine management is tip top, plus you like caned the snot out of her, the shifting is more responsive and smoother..... anywho, thanks what we found after a canadian winter! 😊 Hope you're back firing on all cylinders Mel 😂

A few things. 1/ use Hydra Maxim fuel additive, it’s amazing for all things diesel. Genuinely works as tested on my Volvo xc70 D5 with 240,000 miles. 2/ consider a carnivore diet for a month or two you’ll feel better. 3/ headaches are usually caused by salt imbalance, so by some electrolytes and take daily.

DPF's are coated matrix reaction chambers. Blasting water through them collecting particles and then abrading those particles along the rest of the tract is well damaging. The matrix is just like the casing, a structure, it's the micron coating on the matrix that does the work and because it's a matrix you get lots of surface area. Hey, 3 cheers for having a go and you'll certainly feel the improvement of flow, but effectiveness of the DPF will be far from normal. I'd probably suggest a high temperature oven over chemical and kinetic flushing. Reverse flow is a great approach. Finally take care and thanks for sharing the experience, the safety will help others to come.

I have driven a Merc Vito London Taxi for 11 years, chugging around in stop start traffic all day. These are the perfect conditions for getting a blocked PDF. Probably one of the most frequent engine management lights to illuminate on a diesel is for a blocked PDF. The amount of drivers that I met that had this problem was astonishing. Especially those that drove a TX type of taxi and who hardly ever drove above 30mph. I never once had to clean the PDF on my Vito in the way you have on your Sprinter. The solution to happy motoring is to only use low ash engine oil. Always change the oil and air filters and regularly go for a 10 minute thrash at 70mph down the motorway. The thrash down the motorway is very important, this is mentioned in the owners handbook. ( Does anybody bother to read them?)The purpose is to burn off all the accumulated sooty particulates in the PDF. By doing this you are cleaning the PDF in the way the manufacturer intended; and yes, everyone that lives next to the coast bound A2 gets all of the sooty particles from the diesels that have been driving around London all day!.
Love the channel

If your engine's performance is hampered by for example a clogged DPF, the transmission's logic gets confused and it will shift at points that are not optimal for what you're trying to do. That will cause the ride to be less smooth as it could be.
