Doncaster34 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The EML light turned on, and the two codes that showed up were DPF and MAF sensor. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with cleaning the DPF on a 2014 Vito 113 diesel and could give me some pointers. Thank you!

markjay Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago It appears to require a regen due to the impending DPF issue. Does the regen have any restrictions? There may be an issue with the MAF, but it could be caused by something else. I'm not an expert, but maybe if you probed more, you could find out. I figured Foxwell would be a good diagnostic tool, but I haven't really utilised it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Would you like to hire a mobile DPF guy to come to your house or place of business, or do you intend to perform it yourself? Even though I don't know how much they cost, I have seen several of them on YouTube. I am genuinely interested in knowing how often DIY projects succeed compared to those that are handled by professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Thanks for getting back to me. I'm going to use my handyman skills to fix it myself. I plan to inject foaming dpf cleaner into the thicker pipe that is attached to the dpf diff pressure sensor above the turbo assembly. I watched some videos from O Riley Autos and he does a lot of dpf cleans on the go and usually doesn't need to force regen because the cleaner does the job. I'll keep you posted once I finish.

markjay Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago When you're heated, you might undo and use a lot of Plusgas. It is my preference to remove the temperature sensor and utilise that port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireCar Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The air intake and intercooler pipes should be inspected for any signs of leaks. If the MAF isn't the problem, any pipe following it could be. That will prevent it from regenerating and will be the cause of the buildup. In an ideal world, following the manual clean, you would have diagnostic tools that could reset the soot accumulation.
