Focus and stupid DPF regeneration. FreddieFrugal Posts: 1,749 Forumite. 28 October 2013 at 6:48AM edited 28 October 2013 at 8:28AM. Hi there, Yesterday I drove my Focus 1.6 tdci from Beverley in East Yorkshire to Birmingham, and then Birmingham to Newquay in Cornwall. So just short of 400 miles. Almost the entire journey was spent doing 70 on
If you’re the owner of a diesel truck, you’ve probably noticed that your truck regens quite often. This can be frustrating, especially if you don’t know why it’s happening. The most common reason your truck regenerates is a clogged DPF filter which becomes clogged because of too much soot. When the filter becomes clogged, the ECU will
Active particulate filter regeneration. Because drivers often do not drive on motorways or high-speed roads, manufacturers came up with the idea of active regeneration. The active regeneration of the particulate filter occurs when the soot level in the DPF is around 40-45 % of its capacity.
If you drive a newer (post around 2010) diesel-powered car or ute, then tucked into the exhaust system under the vehicle will likely be a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This filter is designed to capture and trap exhaust soot and other nasty particles created by the diesel fuel combustion process and prevent them from being pumped out into

Passive regeneration takes place during normal driving but, due to the high exhaust temperatures needed, usually only on long or high speed runs.
When Active Regeneration, does not occur, Forced Regeneration may be needed to clear the DPF of soot. The Forced Regeneration procedure is in your owner’s manual. Note: there are heat and burn hazards associated with regeneration. Always follow the specified safety precautions as per owner’s manual.If a regeneration event is interrupted for any reason, it will continue, including the next key cycle, when the conditions are met for regeneration enablement. Normal regeneration is transparent to the customer. The self-cleaning occurs approximately once per tank of fuel. A scan tool is required for service regeneration.
Regeneration times may be longer with poor results. This usually occurs when a DPF has not been removed for routine service by either baking and blowing or an aqueous cleaning which restores the filter to at least 95% of its new capacity. 6. Temperature sensors being faulty will stop the regeneration process. What is regeneration? • Regeneration is when heat causes soot (carbon) in the DPF to combine with oxygen and convert it into carbon dioxide. • Passive regeneration occurs when the engine’s heat is high enough to oxidize the soot during normal operation. • Active regeneration requires fuel to be injected into the exhaust system to tGPcIgJ.
