Hi Guys,
I asked this question as a follow up on somebody's else post; probably not the best idea as I got no answers at all.
Lets create a new thread instead.
I recently replaced DPF at the local garage.
I done this because I got a second "check system" warning with "!" so I thought that probably this is the time to replace DPF at 110k miles.
Usually I'm driving about 25 to 35km routes and taking care not to interrupt DPF regeneration, but I have no idea what previous owner was doing.
I got a new but not genuine DPF (manufacturer name is AS, they are from Spain)
Mechanics only issue was that temperature sensor refused to unscrew and broke off; I had to get a new one.
I also do not know if they done pressure sensor calibration or not.
Can someone share what are yours DPF differential pressure sensor readings during normal driving?
I'm asking because I'm getting about the same readings as before replacement and it worries me that it will soon show me the familiar check system error.
In my car differential pressure sensor has only one pipe going from DPF to the sensor.
This means that sensor is checking pressure in the entire exhaust, not only in DPF and I wonder do I have a blockage further down the pipe or is this okay.
My pressure with new DPF is about 1.8 kPa (18 mbar) on idle and around 7 to 20 kPa (70 to 200 mbar) while driving, but when I'm overtaking it can jump up to 45 kPa (450 mbar)
This seems to me a bit high but no error so far.
I'm now at 9.0 grams of soot level since replacement so I expect regen to happen by the end of this week.
Is pressure sensor calibration required after changing DPF? I do not want to do this if not required as it will end up with forced regeneration.
