Diesel engines equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) need to regenerate periodically. This is to prevent dangerous blockages that can cause engine overheating and serious damage.

When the particulate filter begins its regeneration, we notice it by a persistent operation of the engine fan. This also happens in the Mahindra Thar, and when we hear this warning signal, if possible, drive at a steady speed of 60-70 mph at around 2500 RPM for about 15 minutes, or at least until the fan turns off. If this is not possible, we must at least keep the engine running until the fan turns off. Interrupting a regeneration midway is quite harmful.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Windscreen Without Damaging the Glass

Removing stickers or tags from your car's glass without damaging the windscreen has always been a problem. Especially if we attach it - as we should - at the top of the windscreen, where the "black dots" are, which is the unshielded part of the windscreen designed for this type of device, whether it be a toll tag, GoPro, cameras, or otherwise. We found this product that seems suitable, specifically designed for this purpose, and it also thoroughly removes dirt, grease, oil, and antifreeze salt from plastic surfaces. You can find it on the ATG website or on Amazon.
