googled dpf problems with diesel focus and now need to know how do you "manually regenerate the DPF"?

cossiegreg1

rag it over 2.5k rpm for about 20 min.

cheers hearing different stories herd 4k for 10 minutes too

geordiegooner

anyone ever done that to cure it?

Thats what you have to do for regeneration, short journeys round town etc means it will never reach the temperature to burn the crud off and that what blocks them.

Ideally a blast on the motorway for around 30 mins would be ideal!

Driving in a lower gear but at the same speed= more revs, so this will help as well!

Does it have an Autobox? Looks like a gearbox related warning sign to me.

geordiegooner

no mate manual box,but might not be the dpf as the focus 1.8tdci is not suppose to have one

Think its only the 1.6 tdci that has the dpf

Realised the Op'S car is 2005 and engine is from 07 car, so maybe it doesn't.
