How to Regenerate the Diesel Particulate Filter in the Opel Corsa

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Diesel particulate filter

In today's video, see how to proceed when the regeneration warning light activates in the Opel Corsa D. This operation is necessary for modern diesel engines equipped with a diesel particulate filter that signals the need for regeneration when saturated. To perform the regeneration, go to an area where you can maintain a constant speed for a few miles (for example, a dual carriageway), then keep your vehicle at around 3,500 rpm and wait for the warning light to turn off. Once this is done, you can switch off your Opel Corsa.
