CITROEN DISPATCH 2007

customer came to us with an issue.
Oil leak.
On inspection. Not just an oil leak. There was no oil at all left. And also no coolant!
Surprised the engine hadn't blown.

Found an oil leak from the rocker cover gasket.
But the main culprit was the oil cooler. It was leaking both oil and coolant.

Replaced the rocker cover gasket.
The oil cooler.
Filled up with fresh oil and a new oil filter.

Ran the engine. No more leaks.
Pressure tested the coolant to make sure there was no leaks for that too.

DPF CLEAN
TOYOTA HILUX

Customer came with a blocked dpf.
Checked the codes which confirmed that.
Checked to make sure the sensors were reading fine.

Reading the data on the toyota seemed to be a bit harder for our diagnostic tool but we were able to find the information we needed.

Got it cleaned then took it for a dynamic regen.
The vehicle wouldn't start it as the exhaust temperature wasn't getting hot enough.

After some investigation, we found out that the ecu had locked the dpf as being blocked and wouldn't let us clear the codes to try and get it to regen after the clean.

Found a way around that, got the ecu to acknowledge the dpf was no longer blocked.

Codes cleared. And car drives fine now.

However... spanner symbol... needs a service.
If oil is deteriorated the car will not do a regen.

So if you own a diesel car please dont keep driving with the service light on as the car will.not do its own regen and then you end up with a blocked dpf.

Booked the customer in for a service later on next week and that should be his car all good now.

If you have any dpf issues drop us a message or give us a call.

Ford ranger 2020 DPF CLEAN

Customer had a ford ranger which had soot overloaded warning for the dpf.

Was in limp mode with engine light on.

The codes that came up were related to blockage due to the soot.

We had it cleaned out and the dpf pressure was at 4 mbar on idle when done.
Soot level % down to 4.68.

Reset the system and the car now knows the dpf is clear.

It will now do its own regen as long as they do some long drives to get the dpf temperature high enough to burn the soot.

Didn't take many pictures. Sometimes we forget.

If you have any dpf issues drop us a message or give us a call.

Our fee is £180 for a full clean and diagnostic.
