Wynn's 28263 Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner Fuel Additive DPF Regenerator Treatment For Passenger Car

Product Information

By running your car in this manner, you regenerate the DPF Filter and unclog all the soot and dirt that’s built up over time. Once I understood how these emissions controls worked, it’s not that hard to see how problems are encountered and how straightforward (& cheap) the fixes can be. I’m loving the torquey diesel drive again and have no qualms about running this car up to at least 150k+ miles. Reply Have you had a bad experience with a DPF? Did a DPF cleaning additive work for you? If so we’d like to hear from you – please leave details of your experience in the comments below. If your car is suffering with a fuelling, or EGR valve system problem, it can prevent a DPF regeneration from taking place. If your running a turbo diesel engine and can feel a noticeable loss of power, there's a good chance the turbo could do with a cleanout**.**

You may notice a rough and different idle to your car engine. It may be jerky and unsteady when stationery, due to the gasses not flowing properly through the DPF filter. A passive regeneration occurs when the vehicle exhaust system has reached a particular temperature after a sustained period of driving at specific speeds. Generally, this occurs when driving on a motorway at speeds of around 50-70mph for more than 30 minutes. I have been doing forced regens on my 2007 Skoda Octavia 170 Vrs quite frequently over the past 2 years since not doing anywhere near the mileage that I used to do having been made redundant and changing jobs. Walking to work and only running out at weekends now. Previously doing 100’s of miles each week. This is done by applying the product through the pressure sensor tube or by removing an oxygen or temperature sensor and applying the product directly to the filter.

This will depend on the types of journey you do. If you drive on a motorway regularly for extended periods of time, you’ll need to use DPF cleaner less often than a typical “around town” driver. A DPF system works sitting in between the vehicle engine and exhaust system. It’s a small to medium sized filter which catches exhaust soot and then stores it in the filter instead of it being pumped out of the exhaust and into the atmosphere. So do additives and in particular DPF cleaning additives work? Yes absolutely, but they can’t perform miracles. If the soot load becomes too great, a vehicle fault may occur that will prevent regeneration whilst driving, which should be investigated and corrected. In these cases, the DPF must be manually cleaned by adding a cleaning treatment to loosen and dissolve the soot and allow it to pass through the filter.

Btw, no chemical added to your fuel tank can clean a DPF. All these additives are doing is introducing alcohols into your engine which burn at a slightly higher temp than gasoline or diesel would. Alcohols are generally corrosive to your motor, eating a way at seals and many metallic components.
