DPF HELP

[alan camper]

Having a problem with my 807 06plate 2.0 hdi auto keeps saying De-pollution System Faulty iv plugged it in Peugeot Planet diagnostics but no code showing?. Now for my next question is it that the DPF is blocked and needs a re-gen to sort it, When you go in to the pp2000 to do a re-gen it asks for a code I read somewhere the code is on the edge of the drivers door is this right if not how do i get the code other than rip-off Peugeot dealer ship HELP would be gratefully received

I'm pretty certain there is a different message for a blocked DPF.

Depollution system faulty is a bit of a catch all and can be anything on the fuel system, e.g. injector faults, EGR....

You really need that fault code or else you are just wildly stabbing in the dark.

You may well need to get the code from a dealership (about £15 - £20, but they may want proof of ownership). It is a security thing (so as to, for example, stop people coding in new keys just from the vehicle registration). When you have the code (and type it in when asked) you have given the vehicle proof you have the authority to do that thing. Be careful though, as if you get some things wrong (such as coding an ECU) you could brick that device.

The code you need will be the DAM number - if you search Peugeot DAM number on google images, you should e able to work it out.

De-pollution doesn't specifically mean DPF. If the filter was blocked, there'd be a fault code on PP.

Whereabouts are you based - if you're anywhere near me I'll happily help out.

If you feel the DPF does need a regen, then I wouldn't recommend doing a forced regen via PP2K. The chances of cooking the engine increases when using this method - everything on the car needs to be in tip-top condition to avoid any issues.

You're best off galloping down the motorway in 4th gear at 70mph for a good half hour or more. This should bring the exhaust temp up enough to clear the DPF. Or, if you feel like getting your hands mucky, take it off and clean it manually.

Ive done plenty of DPF regens with Lexia but never with PP, I cant imagine you would need a security code for this, you certainly don't with Lexia. Must be some sort of build code/RP number.
Yes forced regens are not ideal & you need to make sure the engine is good, timing belt not due etc, you also need to be carefull where you do it too, you can get hot embers coming out the exhaust & it can also melt tarmac. Unfortunately though if the DPF is to far blocked a dynamic regen wont work to forced is the only option.

Had the DPF off and cleaned it well and no codes showing when plugged in to the lappy ?
