Yes, absolutely. The principle behind a DPF cleaner is to act as a preventative measure to help prevent major problems manifesting themselves accompanied an expensive repair bill. Using a DPF cleaner will cause no harm and even if your DPF is only very lighly full, the cleaner will improve fuel economy and engine performance. Can I Have My DPF Removed? The combination of platinum and cerium ensures, in the first instance, significantly improved regeneration and cleaning of the diesel particulate filter compared with conventional cleaners. The higher the concentration of platinum the better the regeneration. It does all this while cleaning, lubricating and acting as a diesel fuel tank algae treatment. How does JLM Extreme Clean work? If your car is suffering with a fuelling, or EGR valve system problem, it can prevent a DPF regeneration from taking place. Once I understood how these emissions controls worked, it’s not that hard to see how problems are encountered and how straightforward (& cheap) the fixes can be. I’m loving the torquey diesel drive again and have no qualms about running this car up to at least 150k+ miles. Reply

All modern cars with a diesel engine have a diesel particulate filter. The filter captures incompletely combusted fuel (soot) from the engine that would otherwise end up in the environment. In the course of time the filter becomes full. The car's electronics ensure that this soot is burned during motorway driving or when the engine is under a heavy load. This is known as regeneration. A DPF system works sitting in between the vehicle engine and exhaust system. It’s a small to medium sized filter which catches exhaust soot and then stores it in the filter instead of it being pumped out of the exhaust and into the atmosphere. Modern diesel vehicles require regular journeys and not just that, they require journeys which allow the engine to get up to optimum temperature which then allows all of the emissions systems to work at their best. Unfortunately, short, infrequent journeys are a huge problem for modern diesels which are equipped with DPF filters as they don’t allow the DPF and other emissions systems to work properly. The Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in most people working from home which has then culminated in their vehicles not being used anywhere near as much. When drivers are using their cars, they are generally being used for a weekly trip to the shops, school run etc. My Dpf filter warning light comes off and I blast off down the dual carriageway for 20 mins at 3000 rpm …..that has worked until this week when dpf , glow plug and engine management lights all came on and went into limp mode.DPF cleaning additives are a chemical solution added to the fuel tank which claims to aid the cleaning of a DPF filter. No, you cannot have your DPF removed. It’s a legal requirement in the UK and if removed, your car will immediately fail an MOT test. Only a government could create this level of misery for our engines. Imagine if this were a human produce. You would be given the flu, which inhibits your ability to breathe, and a heart condition, preventing oxygen from reaching your heart and muscles. And then every time you exhale, it’s through a small straw. Try running a marathon like that… That’s what has happened to our automobiles with DPFs. For this reason, manufacturers of conventional cleaners reduce the amount of iron in the additive. This results in a drastic decrease in the regeneration performance. This is why you should use JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner restores the exhaust system and with it the fuel consumption, power and emission of exhaust gases to the original factory condition. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner is proven to be suitable for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and heavy duty diesel retrofit systems.

Wynn’s, the US based company, have developed an outstanding reputation over many years. They produce a whole host of engine performance additives and this DPF cleaner scores highly for value for money. Impressively, this DPF cleaner is also suitable for use in biodiesel vehicles all the way up to B30. The key features of Wynn’s DPF cleaner are; Engine light came on July ’18 – DPF burn at garage (A) didn’t work – Wurth cleaner used and successful. Glowplug also replaced at this time.Conventional cleaners contain iron to initiate the regeneration process. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner comprises a high concentration of a patented platinum-cerium compound. The combination of platinum and cerium ensures, in the first instance, significantly improved regeneration and cleaning of the diesel particulate filter compared with conventional cleaners. The higher the concentration of platinum the better the regeneration. Cleaning and restoring diesel particulate filters with JLM Cleaning & Flush fluid is more economical than replacing the diesel particulate filter and saves time as well as money. The workshop can completely clean the diesel particulate filter in a maximum of one hour, without the filter having to be dismantled. I have owned a 2.0 Jtdm Alfa 159 for 3 1/2 years now and have done approx 30k miles with it. After a few months the car went into ‘regen’ with the exhaust rattling and shaking as if it was falling to pieces, then did it again a few weeks later. I then did a bit of forum research and decided to try the Wynns DPF cleaner, after a good run (about 20 miles ) and a higher revs blast there was some dark smoke then some lighter coloured grey smoke blown out and after that I’ve not had another ‘regen’ incident. Our 3.0 Bmw X3 Diesel E83 recently started giving problems and the cause was the dreaded Dpf. I tried three different makes of additive in the fuel tank but to no avail. I also attempted a manual regen. but again to no avail. I therefore had several choices. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner is a durable solution for the effective and targeted cleaning and preventive cleaning of the entire exhaust path of diesel engines with a particulate filter (DPF). JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner not only cleans the soot filter, but also reduces air-polluting particulate matter hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and soot emissions. For this reason, JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner can mean the difference between APK approval or rejection. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner reduces soot and fine dust emissions by up to 25 percent. This means that less soot gets into the soot filter, which reduces the chance of clogging and increases the service life of the filter.

Use for passenger cars fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF/FAP) and light commercial vehicles with similar engines. Direction: see instruction manual and instruction video, professional use only.

How to use DPF cleaner

Our advice would be to use a good quality DPF cleaner to keep the system clean and also to ensure your car is treated to a decent run out allowing the system to do what it needs to do. This is one of the reasons we have added to and enhanced our Best DPF Cleaner article as the needs has increased What is a DPF? All modern cars with a diesel engine have a diesel particulate filter. The filter captures incompletely combusted fuel (soot) from the engine that would otherwise end up in the environment. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner solves this specific problem. There is no need to dismantle the diesel particulate filter, saving time and money.
