RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 20-11-2014
Lol, possibly! Oddly it goes all the way back to 2003 though...before the Mk2 was even built...
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 20-11-2014
Just to add to todays fails, after fitting cruise wheel and activating it in the GEM and HEC modules....it turns out the 1.6 TDCi PCM isn't supported by ELMConfig as they don't sell the 1.6 in Russia...so I can't activate it in there now.
I really need to leave things alone!
RE: DPF Issues... - Niall - 20-11-2014
Meaning what to non ford geeks? You can't activate the cruise control without the proper dealer software and lead?
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 20-11-2014
Yeah...can activate it in the GEM (magic fusebox lol) and the HEC (instrument cluster) but not the PCM (engine ECU) with my software it seems. Though I'm looking for a later version of the software I have...
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 20-11-2014
So...thanks to Connor I now have a working radio!
No idea why the wrong code was in the book. Also managed to find the newer version of ELM Config and got access to the PCM...but still no cruise atm.
Not sure if you're interested but ELMConfig really is an epic piece of FREE software! These are the screens where I've enabled cruise...if anyone spots that I've left a glaring obvious 'cruise control' box empty, feel free to let me know lol!

The updated version also has an additive gauge....apparently the additive is full though.

RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 21-11-2014
I now have working cruise control!!
RE: DPF Issues... - vincent1 - 21-11-2014
Was it a easy fix?
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 21-11-2014
Yep.
Basically there is an order to activate it. Should've been HEC and GEM before the PCM.
I did it in that order but after doing the PCM I realised I hadn't saved the updated file to the GEM, just saved it to the PC as backup. Being lazy I just went in and saved it to the GEM, thinking the order wouldn't make a difference.
Clearly I was wrong lol, just went back into it today, removed cruise from the PCM, checked it was still active in the GEM and HEC then re-wrote the cruise file to the PCM. Works fine now.
RE: DPF Issues... - vincent1 - 21-11-2014
Thats good then just the dpf to sort out next do it look a easy job to change?
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 21-11-2014
Nothings easy lol, I'm sure something unexpected will go wrong!
It looks fairly straightforward though. Just need time and a dry day to sort it.

RE: DPF Issues... - Piggy - 22-11-2014
Even without the kink that looks like quite a restriction!
Get that dpf gone and that 90bend done proper must open one of these up so much!
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 22-11-2014
Its not a racecar lol...
I'd be interested to know if there is a noticeable difference though, but I'd guess not tbh. Don't forget the intake and turbo are tiny anyway lol!
I'd say thats much less of a restriction than the 306 HDi TIP tbh...always amazed how anything flows through there but they push 135bhp on std pipes...
RE: DPF Issues... - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
UPDATE 23/3/15
I f*cking hate DPFs.
So basically, it's been feeling a bit lethargic again, thought I was just getting used to the power but it seems not, the regen duration fault has come up 3 times in the last month now. So did some live testing today, 1st run from cold, 10 miles of B road, 10 miles of dually, 3 miles of town. Second run warm engine 3 miles of town and 15 miles of dually.
Coolant temp, glow plug operation, EGR control and VNT vanes all working well on both tests.
1st run:
DPF pressure Max - 12kPa
Rough average - 3kPa
DPF temp Max - 338c
Temp during const' 70mph - 280c
2nd run
DPF pressure Max - 9kPa
Rough average - 3kPa
DPF temp Max - 324c
Temp during const' 70mph - 290c
So it turns out 70 in 5th isn't getting the DPF anywhere near hot enough to regen passively which seems daft. But more worrying is the pressure in the DPF...bear in mind its only 3 months old and covered around 3k miles.
I did wonder if maybe the DPF wasn't the original issue, but after changing it the fault didn't occur for nearly 3 months...
So I'm looking for a genuine knackered DPF to gut now. But have I over-looked anything simple before I go to the cost and effort of removing it? Pipes are intact and pressure sensor appears to work ok.
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - bashbarnard - 23-03-2015
Bang it through get a map
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Can't just bang it through due to the shape of them, needs a precision cut along the weld, DPF removed (without breaking the cat) then a perfect weld along the original join again.
Wish I'd got a 2.0 lol, its just a straight pipe on them!
I'm also not having my £200 DPF butchered lol, but if you get any blocked ones at work I'd be interested.
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Jimbo - 23-03-2015
Does the differential pressure change on live data if you connect the two pipes together?
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Haven't tried that, guess it should just be 0kPa like that?
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Jimbo - 23-03-2015
Yeah it should be mate, pressure will mostly likely be up fairly high if sensor is knackered and them pipes are joined up
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Will give it a go then.
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - bashbarnard - 23-03-2015
Then when that doesn't work. Bring it to me and I will gut it. Given it wont be perfectly precise welds but close enough
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Theres no way this ones getting cut lol... You must get loads of blocked ones through work?
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - bashbarnard - 23-03-2015
They are all exchange. To be fair I could ask my supplier. He might make one disappear if you.really want.
What about your original
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Ah I didn't realise that.
Scrapped the original as needed money at xmas...regretting that now lol. I'll wait for a knackered genuine one though, better made that the one I've got now!
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Anton - 23-03-2015
Drive the f*cking thing and then you won't have any issues... I averaged 52.3mpg on the last tank over 570 miles. Oh in 2.0 5 pot with over 200 horse.
If you really bought this a cheap car to run then you chose the wrong car.

Pretty much the same as my 156.. Although its a 2.4
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Driving it isn't working... 70 in 5th isn't getting the DPF hot enough, I assumed it would be but was obviously wrong.

70th in 4th to try next then
RE: DPF Issues... (Update page 4, March) - Toms306 - 23-03-2015
Or 90 in 5th? 'Yes officer, I'm just regenerating the DPF'...

90? Why stop there? Oh yeah, because it probably won't do over that! lol
