DPF Cleaner-any good?

Well by now with all the press and TV coverage (oh and here at Bloody Cars) you must be aware of the issues with DPF -Diesel Particulate Filter- problems.

Cars doing local runs are just not getting hot enough or running long enough for the regeneration to start.

DPF Warning light on?

DPF Filter
You may or may not be aware that Diesel cars now have fitted an item called a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). What this does is help to clean up diesel emissions, and they do it very well as most modern diesel cars have almost zero emissions. In fact MOT stations had to upgrade their Emissions Testing equipment because of this.

Jeep Cherokee O2 Sensor issue

Jeep Well this one threw me I have to say! Jeep Cherokee 2.4 petrol came in with the Engine Management light on.

Code reader came up with code P0133 which relates to O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1. Tested readings from sensor which were all ok. A brief check over revealed no issues, so suspecting just a “spike” in the system I cleared the code and road tested, all OK.
