DPF Issues from low fuel – Citroën C4 Picasso – diagnostic consultation + Engine Carbon Clean

Adrian @ F5ECC

DPF issues usually have an underlying cause.

We focus on the underlying cause when performing our analysis of what is happening with a vehicle.

Here we have a Citroën C4 Picasso with symptoms of an intermittent DPF warning lights.

❗ The owner was originally looking for a DPF Clean, but as we found this would have been unnecessary as the DPF was NOT blocked. It was still able to regenerate and showed fairly recent regeneration, but codes and data confirming it wasn’t always able to.

⚠️ A DPF Clean is unnecessary and not recommended unless you have a blocked DPF.

The underlying cause with this one was primarily keeping the fuel levels low along with shorter journeys nowadays.

⚠️ Before regeneration will be attempted the vehicle needs to be warm enough (short journeys or old thermostats are an issue) and also enough fuel (approx ¼ tank minimum).

❗ A good rule of thumb for a diesel vehicle with a DPF is ALWAYS keep the fuel levels above ¼ tank.

☑️ Whilst here the owner opted for the Engine Carbon Clean to get the source of the dirt cleaned up and get it running smooth, quiet, responsive and economical again.

Adrian is a lovely fella, explained the process, carried it out well, clearly done exactly what it needed to do as I blew a load of stuff out the back when I drove it after. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Steve arrived to give my Jaguar xfs an engine carbon clean. Presently on 107,000 miles. Explained the process and was obviously very knowledgeable about the process and expected outcomes. And he was a thoroughly nice chap.
The V6 in the xfs is a quiet, smooth, powerful unit and I was not sure of what improvements I would get. Well, I’m impressed. The power delivery is smoother, the engine even quieter and 6 mpg better to boot.
If you want to do one thing to maintain and improve your motor, then this is what you should do.

Leon came out to my car about a month ago. He was brilliant, he did some diagnostics, asked some questions and then got to work sorting out my problem. He was extremely thorough and I could tell he genuinely cares about providing a first class service. Fantastic!

Iv had the pleasure of having 2 Carbon cleans from both Adrian and Mark. Both lovely gentlemen and you can tell they love what they do. My car failed on emissions and this helped me get the car through the test, and at the time, I REALLY needed a pass because I couldn’t get anywhere. These guys saved me. Not only that, it’s a lot cheaper here compared to other places also. Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you in future endeavours.
