New DPF + Eolys refill 2009 Focus 1.6tdci Help Please

[StokesBoys1234]

Hi All,

I'm just about to replace the DPF, Cat Temp Sensor and top up my Eolys fluid on my Sons Focus 1.6tdci 2009. Apart from resetting the Error code for the Cat temp sensor and Dpf soot now they have been replaced do I need to reset the Eolys some how? maybe forscan?

Also is there a process to follow once these have been replaced so 1st start up etc?

Any help would be appreciated

Yes, the Eolys counter needs to be reset.  There is a manual procedure you can do with cycling the ignition and opening and closing the flap but tbh it's easier to do it through Forscan.

There should be no issues at first start as long as the Eolys counter and DPF ash load have been reset.

Hi TomsFocus,

Thanks for the info above that's great, do you know where I look on Forscan to find both of these? Eloys counter and Dpf Ash reset?

or is it a plug in and scroll through?

Thank Again..

I actually did a video on it back in the day...   You can see the fuel additive one is on the same page, they're under service procedures.

That's Brilliant, Thank you...

Do I need to do the Refil one 1st then the prime afterwards?

So today is dpf and Eolys refill and reset day :)

thanks to TomsFocus I no how to do the above.

One final question

Once the a dpf is fitted and car reassembled, Eolys refilled and car reset on first startup is there a process to follow ie let idle for 10mins or  drive steady for 1st 100 miles? Or is it as simple as refit, top up, Reset and go?

help would be appreciated :)

The DPF itself doesn't need bedding in, but you do need to get it hot to properly seal the inner core to the can on the first run. 

The recommended first start is roughly - idle it for 5 mins, followed by a few mins at raised rpm (3k ish), followed by a switch off and cool down.  Once it's sealed you can drive how you like.

ok so I’ve changed the dpf, cat temp sensor and topped up the Eolys fluid.

ive reset the Eolys fluid and primed and reset the dpf learning values. However the Engine malfunction light remains on :(

ive let idle for 5 mins then reved to 3k for 5 mins 

any ideas??

[TomsFocus]

Is it the engine light or the 'engine malfunction' message you're getting?

What current codes does it bring up?

If it was mine I'd take it for a drive to see if it clears.

Hi TomsFocus

glad to report back, as soon as I’d finished the 3k Rev for 5 mins I was able to reset the P425 ash full code, followed by the eng malf light going out afterwards

all back to normal runs like a dream

thank you for your help :)
