Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Particulate filter
Operation: Cleaning the particle filter Opel Astra J

If it happens that the particulate filter clogging warning light remains on on the instrument panel display, it means that the clogging level is so high that the normal regeneration process cannot free the filter and this could also compromise the operation of the engine at all. to the detriment of the turbine first of all; it is therefore necessary to go to the workshop where the filter will be treated with special detergents capable of unblocking it and allowing normal regeneration to be reactivated; therefore wait until the filter is cold, remove the temperature probe and spray the appropriate additives inside the filter, wait for them to act and then reassemble the probe, start the engine leaving it at idle until it has completely evaporated and take a turn with the car in order to reach the right temperature and allow the activation of regeneration.
