How to Force Regeneration of the DPF on Your Diesel Car When You Want

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Diesel particulate filter

How to force regeneration on a 1.6 diesel engine. The car in the video is a Peugeot 207 1.6 HDI 110HP, but this applies to all engines of this displacement EURO 4. Bring the levels to temperature and choose a nice long road. Quickly disconnect and reconnect the terminal located on the left side of the engine, as shown in the video: the engine noise changes immediately as the regeneration cycle begins. Very cleverly, our YouTuber has installed a light in the mirror to visually see when regeneration starts, at the same time the fan kicks in. At this point, just drive calmly (2,000-3,000 RPM) for about fifteen minutes. This way, you can decide when to have your car regenerate, when you take a sufficiently long trip and not when you are in the city and it regenerates poorly.
