JLM Diesel DPF Cleaner 100ml

Product Information

Have the Dpf removed and a remap but I believe that the penalty for so doing is the registered keeper being put in an iron coffin with spikes on the inside. trust me I’ve cleaned over 500 DPFs successfully, the company as a whole in the 1000s, and trained many dealer techs in the procedure who in turn 10s of 100s.

Our 3.0 Bmw X3 Diesel E83 recently started giving problems and the cause was the dreaded Dpf. I tried three different makes of additive in the fuel tank but to no avail. I also attempted a manual regen. but again to no avail. I therefore had several choices. Use for passenger cars fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF/FAP) and light commercial vehicles with similar engines. Direction: see instruction manual and instruction video, professional use only. It’s no wonder we are all so confused. My 2013 Transit handbook says nothing of any real use about the DPF or regen process. I wouldn’t surprised if most other vehicle handbooks were the same, i.e. bloody useless! There is no indication on my dash that a regen is taking place & I have never noticed it running any differently that might indicate a regen. It doesn’t smoke so the soot, is going somewhere (DPF) but the exhaust fumes do smell different from my old pre-DPF van. If your car is low on fuel, it may refuse to begin a DPF regeneration. It’s always good practice to ensure that the fuel tank in your car is sufficiently full. Aside from causing problems with the DPF regeneration process, running a car on low fuel can cause a whole host of other issues. What Happens During A DPF Regeneration? Try to repeat similar cycles a few times while driving on the treated diesel to achieve the maximum result.

I was put off buying a diesel car for most of the last 10 years as your average mechanic (inc. many main-dealer ones) didn’t have much of a clue about EGR/DPF issues. Their solutions invariably revolved around expensive component replacement or it being ‘time to trade your car in’. Many mechanics, and I, understand how these systems work now as they’ve been around for a good few years, and earlier this year I traded in my (4 month old) petrol MX5 for a diesel Dacia Duster (circumstances dictated the need for a 4 seater). Costs for this serve seem to vary but in most cases it is much cheaper than a replacement filter and not illegal like DPF removal (more on that below). You can also use the DPF cleaner in conjuction with cheaper diesel as opposed to using more premium diesel fuels at each fill up. Should I Use A DPF cleaner If My Warning Light Is Not On?

DPF Filters have a life of about 100,000 km when they will become saturated with ash. At this point they will need manually cleaning or replacing. My Dpf filter warning light comes off and I blast off down the dual carriageway for 20 mins at 3000 rpm …..that has worked until this week when dpf , glow plug and engine management lights all came on and went into limp mode. DPF cleaning additives are a chemical solution added to the fuel tank which claims to aid the cleaning of a DPF filter. I am hopeful that this cleaning is the best option and comfortable in knowing that my original dpf is a genuine part and will fit properly. I was advised by cleaning company that alternative and non OED parts will be inferior and not made from silicone carbide resulting in the necessary heat levels needed for regen not being achieved.

DPF Filter Removal

You may get a strange smell coming from the engine bay or underneath of the car. Common smells are a foul, eggy like smell and you also get a burning smell which can be alarming to say the least! JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner is one of the best diesel particulate filter cleaners on the market. JLM DPF Cleaner contains a high concentration of the active additive. There's no need to remove the DPF Filter, just pour the JLM DPF cleaner into your diesel fuel tank. 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.

As well as the warning light, you’ll also likely notice a decrease in performance from your car. You may experience the following symptoms. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner restores the exhaust system and with it the fuel consumption, power and emission of exhaust gases to the original factory condition. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner is proven to be suitable for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and heavy duty diesel retrofit systems. Short journeys – The engine is not so efficient during warm up, and does not get hot enough to burn off deposits Deposits in the fuel system, air intake, EGR valve, injectors, etc. Modern diesel fuel systems are highly engineered, but are susceptible to deposits which may effect the efficiency of combustion. Inefficient combustion = more hydrocarbons, and therefore more soot in the exhaust and filter.JLM Diesel Extreme Clean also contains a cetane booster. The cetane booster ensures better fuel combustion. This makes the engine run more evenly. So, drive your car once in a while down a dual carriage way for 20-30 mins. If the warning light comes on (Orange) then definately do this asap or the next step is an expensive garage fix.

JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner solves this specific problem. There is no need to dismantle the diesel particulate filter, saving time and money. Modern diesel vehicles require regular journeys and not just that, they require journeys which allow the engine to get up to optimum temperature which then allows all of the emissions systems to work at their best. Unfortunately, short, infrequent journeys are a huge problem for modern diesels which are equipped with DPF filters as they don’t allow the DPF and other emissions systems to work properly. The Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in most people working from home which has then culminated in their vehicles not being used anywhere near as much. When drivers are using their cars, they are generally being used for a weekly trip to the shops, school run etc.Modern diesel engines currently produce less carbon dioxide levels than petrol engines, however they produce much higer NOx levels. High levels of NOx are dangerous to the environment and can cause respiratory problems for humans such as inflammation of the airways. It’s for these reasons that systems such as DPF filters were introduced. How Does A Diesel Particulate Filter Work? Use of incorrect engine oil – always ensure you use the correct low SAPS oil specified for the engine at oil change and when topping up I have owned a 2.0 Jtdm Alfa 159 for 3 1/2 years now and have done approx 30k miles with it. After a few months the car went into ‘regen’ with the exhaust rattling and shaking as if it was falling to pieces, then did it again a few weeks later. I then did a bit of forum research and decided to try the Wynns DPF cleaner, after a good run (about 20 miles ) and a higher revs blast there was some dark smoke then some lighter coloured grey smoke blown out and after that I’ve not had another ‘regen’ incident.
