STP GST66200EN Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner 200 ml

Product Information

If you only ever use your car for short journeys around town and never drive on a motorway, it’s recommended to use a DPF cleaner in every second or third tank of fuel, doing so will signifanctly reduce soot built up in the DPF. If your running a turbo diesel engine and can feel a noticeable loss of power, there's a good chance the turbo could do with a cleanout**.** 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. No, you cannot have your DPF removed. It’s a legal requirement in the UK and if removed, your car will immediately fail an MOT test.

Because DPF filters have limited size and capacity, they can only store a limited amount of exhaust soot. Once the system has reached it’s capacity threshold (usually around 80%), the vehicle will attempt to begin a process called “Regeneration” What Is A DPF Regeneration?

Our Advice

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. By running your car in this manner, you regenerate the DPF Filter and unclog all the soot and dirt that’s built up over time.

It’s my second Dacia and will be dealer serviced whilst under warranty. Thereafter I’ll self-service it using the correct Renault/Dacia fluids. I’ve no qualms about removing the EGR every 50k or so to clean it, and hope to be able to get towards 100k or so before I need to pull the dpf for an overnight bath in Wynns DPF cleaner and a gentle up-stream power wash, before replacing it. The car was running just fine, although it was drinking a lot of diesel. The only other symptom was a flashing glow plug light. The warning light is there to serve as an alert that the system requires attention. It’s really important to take action as soon as the light illuminates, failure to do so can result in an expensive repair bill. Yes, absolutely. The principle behind a DPF cleaner is to act as a preventative measure to help prevent major problems manifesting themselves accompanied an expensive repair bill. Using a DPF cleaner will cause no harm and even if your DPF is only very lighly full, the cleaner will improve fuel economy and engine performance. Can I Have My DPF Removed?I will try and run more frequently in recommended driving mode with the addition of some Wynnes dpf cleaner which I can get at 50% discount. 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. Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner is designed to remove soot particles and carbon from diesel particular filters. One treatment helps unclog filters, removing accumulated unburnt soot to regenerate the DPF, perfect for stop/driving styles such as city driving, taxis, and those that use their vehicle for school runs. All diesel cars manufactured after 2009 have a DPF fitted to the exhaust system which traps harmful soot particles from being expelled into the environment.
