DPF regeneration

[Greg Roles]

My question is what are you reading it with, sounds like it was only actually at 60ish percent, for that is where you can force a regen and lights go out. At 80 the car cuts boost and you are in low boost limp, at 90% the car won't let you start it as far as I know, never gotten that far.

Just FYI for anyone reading this in future, anything beyond 90% is an absolute fire hazard.

Haha, last service I had the guys scan and was 85%!.Sent them your DPf removal and clean thread(with photos) for next service which is in 6 weeks. Always liked the Fantastic 4 perhaps i'l be emulating the "Human Torch" in the interim!?

You must have a dodgy sensor then. I was going into limp mode when DPF was 55%. Annoying as hell. As soon as you saw the light, you had about 20km to run a regen or limp mode it was. Then 2 weeks later, same thing again. Replaced both DPF sensors 3 years ago, and only had light come on twice, and never a limp mode again.

I would suggest that you get the sensors checked if you get high % readings like that. And maybe some Penrite DPF cleaner.

Any chance an additive may actually be causing it?.
Was it dealer or ,say, Penrite approved?.

How is this helpful to the OP?

At 206,000km I wouldn't start my diagnose with blaming the additive.

If you want to define what can and can't be asked, so be it.
I would have thought, on the other hand, any diesel service tech would want to know everything about the patient's diet.
