DPF cleaning
Hello folks,
wanted to ask for any feedback on those trusted DPF specialist, where you have to physically remove Dpf and take it for pressure clean. My car has 104k miles currently and doing only short trips so keeps on blocking up after few weeks.
Anybody had this done and was it successful, or is it just a gimmick. Thanks

ECU does take care about DPF regeneration, so no cleaning is necessary.
But there are several criterias for regeneration to happen and seems that is the real problem you have.
Those things change between MY, but make sure you have no codes, and at least 1/2 tank when regeneration comes due.
My Bluetec sedan is mostly city car and does regeneration in city traffic just fine. My trips usually are 10 miles and I live in hot climate, so getting things warm is never a problem.
