A very common problem with the Mercedes Citan 1.5 dCi.
Model: Mercedes Citan
W420
- Years 2021-2026
A very common problem on the Mercedes Citan 1.5 dCi is the breakage of the differential pressure tube, which connects the DPF to the pressure sensor. The tube is often made of rigid plastic, or rubber not resistant enough to heat; moreover, it is located in a very crowded engine compartment and subject to vibrations, high temperatures, and mechanical stresses. If this tube breaks or comes loose, the pressure sensor no longer correctly reads the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the DPF, so the ECU receives incorrect information. As a result, the yellow engine light comes on; an error message on the display "start engine to regenerate particulate filter" (even if not needed); emergency mode can be activated, with a reduction in engine power. The errors that can be read with an OBD tool are P2452 (loss in the differential pressure sensor circuit) and P2453 (sensor signal out of range). For the repair, there are metal repair kits available (AliExpress code 1005007508965535 priced at 22.74 euros, free delivery).

Fuses Location and Diagram for the Volkswagen Crafter
In this guide, we will look at the location of the fuse boxes and how to find their diagram for the Volkswagen Crafter. First, get inside the vehicle and start by removing the plastic cover found under the steering wheel, to access the internal fuse box; you will find another fuse box in the engine compartment by removing the plastic cover located next to the battery. At this point, use the owner's manual to find the fuse diagram, which will allow you to identify and replace any blown fuses with new ones! by ScegliAuto More videos
