In an LML, the power is softer, it's a little more sluggish. In the L5P, if the power is softer, I can't tell yet, not used to the baseline over the LML yet. They both do exhibit the Higher Idle during regen, and both did emit a slight smell, more like the first time the heater kicks on in the winter than an actual automotive smell. LML Duramax DPF Regeneration The Duramax regen system operates seamless/stealthy by design. In typical operation you will not notice that it is happening. The indicators are very subtle. Idle speed will increase from the 720 standard to approximately 850. You may notice a hot smell when standing. The instant economy How often should DPF regeneration occur? I bought a new Vauxhall Corsa in November 2012, 2 days after having the car and only driving about 10miles the DPF light came on. Most of my journeys are short, say nine miles, clear roads, but I do longer motorway driving three days a week. My problem is that the light now comes on every second day. I take it for a long drive on the motorway, driving should not be left idling to achieve working. temperature. 2. Drive the vehicle for a further twenty. minutes, keeping the vehicle at a steady. speed between 75 km/h (45 mph) and. 120 km/h (75 mph). Keeping a constant speed enables the DPF. to regenerate more efficiently. A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is fitted in the exhaust system to filter soot out of the exhaust gases to ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant EURO emission standards (Australian Design Rule: ADR 79/01-Emission Control for Light Vehicles). Unlike a normal filter, the DPF has been designed to regenerate, or clean itself, to OTR Diagnostics allows you to read and reset fault codes, view live data, and run advanced diagnostic functions, including forced DPF regen with your mobile phone or tablet. The DPF system will typically give you some warning signs before going into a major derate or failure. One of the most common ones is to perform a parked regeneration. EgfFv. I am a lady driving a Peugeot 3008 1.6 diesel EGC doing about 10,000 miles a year, mostly on short runs of between 10 and 15 miles with only an occasional longer one. I keep reading about the particulate filter and its adverse effects. Can you please explain what you consider a short journey and how long you must run the engine when stationary? In a recent reply you wrote "the DFP was The active DPF appears to kick in very frequently even with this motorway trip - sometimes after about 5-10 miles of driving after. So, I'm getting an active DPF regen at least once a week, with a 60mile round trip on the motorway and about 15-20 miles of town driving. does this sound right? Cheers Matt The DPF is the “Diesel Particulate Filter”. It’s a symbol in the Instrument Cluster that looks like a muffler with dots in it. It displays the percentage of soot in the DPF. When the DPF symbol reaches 100%, the engine computer starts the automatic regeneration of the DPF. To do so, start driving off and maintain a sustained speed of 80 to 100 KM per hour for 30 to 45 minutes to perform the regeneration. The DPF light turns off once you finish with the regeneration . In some cars, you can manually start the regeneration while driving or in a stationary/parked position. Drivers can just engage the parking brake or The 2nd to last regen I had was on a 700+ mile highway run. The regen happened at about 500 miles which I didn't understand at the time because it only read 67 DPF load. As I understand it Ford built in a 500 mile regen maximum, so that is why I saw one start at 67 DPF load. Just kinda wondering if others see about the same or what.
