Does fuel type affect DPF performance, any to avoid ? Any thoughts on what mileage DPF issues start to appear? Perhaps I should just hoof it every now and then, when its nice and warm !! Last edited by Hedgie; Aug 6th, 2011 at 10:51. Reason: Typo ! |

Although I'm not impressed with my D2, I will say that regarding the DPF, it so far (only 7600 miles) has been faultless. Despite mostly short-hop driving between 4 and 6 miles, the car seems to run at least 1000 miles between regens and other than passing increase in consumption, the regens goes by unnoticed.

This is all very interesting, especially as my car limped home tonight for the first time. After google searching then checking the vin, I discovered that my s40 has the D4204T engine and the 8th character is the dreaded 5, so I am also the proud owner of a DPF.
Assuming that the engine is a D4, is it also right to assume that it has to comply to Euro 4 emissions laws, therefore meaning that the DPF can be removed? |

Waking up this thread
I have problems with my DPF and I hope it's the Pressure Sensor that is the fault. I'm going to replace the Pressure Sensor with a potentiometer too, just to see if the DPF regens all the time anyways or not. BUT, how do I know which connector is the +5V, earth and signal? How do I measure this? |

If your car is an early one, then there is a modification to the sensing pipes that stop condensation. This is as far as I'm aware be main reson for limp mode condition and therfore Differential pressure sensor failure.
My 2.0D had two over 110k miles. The sensor will probably have failed and can be bought from any Ford dealer. Just check the part number stamped on the moulding. Can't help on voltage output, but there are three wires I think. One will be supply, one return (grnd) and the other signal. Perhaps you can put a meter on each pin wrt chassis and see what you get. |

I'm considering surgery on this to remove the damn thing. Should improve MPG and BHP.

Hello All,
I've just aquired a cheap 54 plate v50 with 180k on the clock. Only problem is it appears to have a dpf fault, namely sump filling up (previous also reported a drop in fuel economy). I'd like to remove the dpf, so my question is: how many people have done this potentiometer modification and if so have you experienced any problems with it? and can you clarify which wires are feed/earth/ecu signal? Failing that, if its better to get the ECU re-programmed can anyone recommend a company to do this? I can remove the filter myself, just don't want to spend a fortune getting the electrical side sorted. thanks, Gav. Last edited by 29stude; Mar 3rd, 2012 at 01:58. |
