DPF problems.

[John m]

Ken those DPF are Black Magic .They fill up with Soot and when they get congested they go on Fire a bit like Big Dommos Grannys Chimney in her Cottage beside the Flats near the Church .The Soot is burned as high temperture like a blast furnace and is turned into ash that is exhausted with other exhaust gasses and that is called regeneration .Driving in traffic or waiting with the engine running but not moving dosent burn off the shit in the Fuel and causes more soot than the system can deal with so the Dpf gets clogged .A good motorway run to get the heat up in the exhaust should regenerate it .Like you were advised use a drop of Dippataine or add some Parafin to the fuel to increase the heat in the exhaust to help it regenerate or treat it to the Higher Octaine fuel at every second or third fill .See if that solves the issue .You might be able to control it rather than replace it save a wedge .

I have tried dipataine and a good few other things, they all work fer a month or so and then back to square 1.

I think I'll stick with the Wynn's DPF cleaning fluid next time it comes on and keep the tank over the 3/8th's mark as Rats suggested and the oil topped up to the fullest and hopefully that will keep it going a bit longer but as I said earlier I'm only delaying the inevitable 2.5k Toyota bill fer a new DPF, but the longer I can keep it going the more likely the next new DPF will make it to license end in Feb 2027.

IF I could get a new Avensis petrol hybrid automatic today then I would scrap the fookin thing.

Why keep it until 2027 Belker?

Consider getting a credit union or a bank loan and move on to something else.You either move down a little bit in size to a Corolla or Prius or move up to a Camry.

Both will give better fuel economy and without the DPF problems might actually work out to pay for a a lot of the changeover costs.Everyone makes mistakes.By buying more DPFs yer just compounding the original mistake of going diesel.

Just take the fuckin DPF out.  why pay 2,500 when you dont need to? crazy stuff.

I could afford either/or today but I don't much fancy either of them, the nua Corolla will prob win in the end, but I'll most likely hold on to the Avensis till 2027 as much as the Fookin DPF light annoys the shite outta me.

I have heard many differing reports of cars both passing and failing NCT with the DPF taken out.
I'm not willing to take that chance.

Just get used to adding the dipthane regularly I suppose.

In ten years of Prius ownership the most I spend on any repair was 250 for a wheel bearing.The battery failures I fixed myself for cheap.2500 is a months wages after tax for a normal person.I wouldn't be even considering it.

Edit I actually paid a chap 350 to fix some rusted quarter panel from a previous owners botched repair.But that's the biggest repair.

Its worth a shot. no way would I spend 2,500 on a repair, most iv spent is 800 to 900 on a repair.

Ken ...this is me last post to ya ....
I've put you on ignore list as you suggested ...something I havnt done  to anyone before.... anyway ....it doesn't seem to be working unfortunately

This is the second thread that you have stared about yur dpf problem the first one started  8 months ago ...


http://intaxi.org/forum/index.php?topic=15221.0

You've bean gettin advice in some cases misguided but well meaning  and lots of contributions and sympathy...
And now you've started another thread about yur dpf in March of this year

Recently you started a thread called " forum gone to shite " ....
Your opening salvo included this "poor me"
Sentence

Quote
"
Just the same as the DPF topic I started a few weeks ago asking fer assistance, all I got was a load of snipeing, stoopid comments (Ratcatcher excluded) and I never bothered posting the final results."

When infact you have gotten suggestions and advice now for almost 8 months .....
When you get advice that doesn't agree with you ...you completely ignore it .....the best advice you have gotten today is from
Merc who is mechanically savi and called you out immediately on yur first thread that it was oil maintenance related  a fact that i as a qualified diesel mechanic totally concur wit and in all probability without seeing the results of testing of your car including oil sample  lab results etc ..... permanent damage was done to the engine ....you response was predictable...and it didn't agree with yur narrative...
You also accused others of " Whinging"  on multiple occasions....and in recent weeks you've progressed and escalated
To name  calling everyone  on here including watty ( which stunned me ) of being a mong ....
Your tirade of abuse also includes the words most insultingly the word liar ....which wer I come from wud warrant a very reactive  dig  to say the least ....
Fools , whingers , Snipers ....
And you've included everyone except Stephen and vandriver....
Wer in your world do you think thats ok to insult others for a number of weeks now ?
Others quite rightly just ignore you but
You've ruined at least 1 friendship you've had for years with these unwarranted,  hostile and
Demeaning insults.....
Your " whinging " about yur car for 8 months now ....
Your livelihood depends on your taxi ....
You need to do as merc so rightly said ....
Scrap the heap of shite that you damaged with your poor or absent oil  maintenance ....take ownership of your mistake and learn a lesson and move on ....
Get a new engine and turbo or as I would do scrap it and buy a new car being more economically sound ....
Or sell it  cheap to that cunt in tallaght that shafted hal and  give the cunt some karma.....but stop whinging about the ting ....
It's fuked and stop annoying everyone ...
They all have ther own problems...

You make it sound so simple SB.

Firstly I don't even know what OBD means ?
Secondly, I don't have an Android phone.
Thirdly, I have no idea where to plug it in to.
And Lastly if by some miracle I get it working,
I won't have a clue what the codes mean.

But Thanks fer the advice anyway !

I had an old diesel that was hard to get through emissions,1 litre of Dipetane and Dublin to Portlaoise and back  in 3rd at about 4 thousand revs worked every time.
