THE DPF AND EGR DOC

04/01/2025

Time and time again the Dpf is always blamed as the problem without proper diagnosis the customer is always the best source of information if you ask the right questions you will get to know what’s going on
Carrie called me when she was told by two garages she had a Dpf problem both garages had tried to do a forced regeneration but the ecu rejected the command. When I looked at the vehicle I did an initial code scan and spoke to Carrie who told me that the car doesn’t accelerate properly it’s like it’s got an anchor attached to the back, the codes I had was for glow plug control which needed the glow plugs testing, but no fault codes for Dpf so I looked in the live data and saw that any info for Dpf was at zero and Carrie confirmed to me that she hadn’t driven the car since the last garage looked at it so I assumed that the Dpf data had been reset.
So the plan was to recover the car to the workshop and do further tests once on the ramp and the lower engine cover was removed it was so clear that his scenic was not fitted with a Dpf and had never had one in its life so this made the plot thicken, on the passenger seat was a diagnostic scan report from one of the previous garages and on that the answer was there low fuel pressure when I looked at the fuel pipes i could see that there was insufficient fuel flowing to the rail i sent Carrie a video of what was happening and what I suspected and to ask for authority to service the vehicle. Once I got the fuel filter out it was the original filter from when it was built in 2009 the fuel filter was 15 years old and never changed all because it was located in an awkward position
Moral of this story it’s not always the Dpf at fault and sometimes just need to take a look at the engine

A job I did over the Christmas break to help out a tradesman. John called me to explain he was a leak detection specialist working up and down the country in his transit custom, he had a fault of Dpf overloaded and Adblu malfunction no start in 230 miles. He had been to a couple of garages and they all said he would need to have the Dpf and Adblu deleted as the codes wouldn’t clear, now clearing codes doesn’t fix things and secondly the code won’t clear if there is an open circuit. So I arranged to take a look for him to get to the bottom of the issue correctly.
When I arrived the dash displayed Dpf overloaded and Adblu malfunction no start in 200 miles so I looked at codes and I had Dpf overloaded, conditions incorrect for regeneration and pressure sensor code, on live data we had soot content of 230% and no readings from the pressure sensor open the bonnet and low and behold a broken wire to the plug Robert was able help me strip the plug down and repair the broken wire as I had left my glasses at home once fixed there was a reading from the pressure sensor a quick clean on the Dpf and a code reset once I started to drive the van the Adblu light went out and all was fixed correctly and less than a Dpf and Adblu delete

Renault traffic injectors are the worst to remove in fact most garages turn them away
This customer had just spent thousands transforming their Renault traffic into a camper for the injectors to fail I did initially refuse to do it because I didn’t want a van stuck in the yard while we wait a few months for a specialist to come drill them out so I got the tool out and used some special releasing spray left to soak for half hour and hey presto they came out
Who said we can’t get traffic injectors out

Sirocco RLine that i walnut blasted the other week for a regular customer in Scunthorpe. The car had a misfire at idle and generally ran rough all the time this was caused by carbon deposits on the inlet valves, the reason this happens is the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber not the inlet manifold where it would wash the inlet valves eliminating this issue. Unfortunately all modern petrol engines have this issue so if your petrol engine has similar issues get in touch today
