Hello

I've checked and it shows the dpf needs cleaning out. I noticed somebody before must of taken the intake of and cleaned it all out loads of oil and small coal everywhere. So I've had to clean all this up really messy stuff that. I checked all the pipes and hoses there all nice and clean. I even cleaned out the rocker cam cover.

I'm getting the dpf cleaned out by a professional mobile person. I've bought a egr blank which the same time I get the car remapped for the egr delete. The 3rd option that could be done as well carbon clean I will see about this one on the day. I've noticed these engines seem to get full of crap. so the remap and egr delete the way forward the same time as the dpf clean.

I'm looking at the breather pipe from the rocker cam cover to air intake could this be closed of the air hose intake. Then the breather pipe have a small air filter breather cone added to try keep things cleaner or will it be best to leave it as it is?

The egr valve once blanked of and remap delete done do you leave it plugged in or out?

Thanks

 

I'm looking at getting the decent oil and oil filters to try keep this engine clean as possible. The dpf clean and remap with egr blank delete will make a big difference. So going forward keeping the engine clean as possible.

What grade oil do I need and any specs to it?

The oil filters there certain brands for these engines?

The oil filter changing guide any were thanks?

 

The best brand cambelt kits?

I know it's normally best to go for metal impella any brands water pump?

Alternator belt brands?

 

When not driving and parked up what's the best way to clean it?

Final question I do long driving mainly motorways and A roads. so will the dpf still come on even if I do this a lot?

I'm new to all this dpf first car I've bought with it.

 

I'm looking to get a spare key fob for the Ford Focus 1.6 tdci + mk2.5 dpf.

I can see new and second hand fobs on ebay can these be programmed easy to the car a spare fob?

The key blade I can see blanks are these easy to fit and change over if needed?

Thanks
