- Today we're taking a look at AdBlue and the Diesel Particulate Filter (commonly known as the DPF). I'll show you how to check your AdBlue levels, how to top it up and some tips and tricks. Then we look at the Diesel Particulate Filter and how to make sure you're looking after it and what to do if things go wrong!
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments, or let me know if there's something I've missed!
Thanks for watching. California Chris.

At last a fantastic insight into how the systems work with real information about ignition on after refilling the system addblue for 30 seconds before starting and not overfilling the system which are essentially parts. A great explanation of the DPF and how it works. Fantastic thanks 🙏
InstaBlaster...
Very useful, it's always good to know this kind of information. Well done, Cheers from Portugal.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info Chris, very helpful as always.
My pleasure!
best clear explanation I've come across, thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent info as usual. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Many thanks for info mate...
real useful - thanks
thank you, informative
A higher idle rpm is a giveaway also. Make a note of what rpm your vehicle normally idles at. Then when you are about to turn off your engine, check the idle rpm, if it is higher than normal continue to drive if you can, that way it doesn't interrupt the dpf regeneration cycle. If its not possible or convenient to continue driving, when you switch off your engine you will usually find your fans blazing trying to rapidly cool down the engine / exhaust system (containing the dpf) This is because the vehicle raises its temperature to burn off the gathered diesel particulates in the dpf from the exhaust gas (soot).
Exactly! Cheers.
DPF info really helpful 👍👍
Great!
Hi mate very good video wonder if you could do one on the reduce engine oil warning on the t6.1 which is quit a common issue now
Cheers
Great videos, really enjoy them. So much so that we travelled 100+ miles to come and order a new 6.1 Ocean from you two weeks ago. We were ready to order but no finance figures were on your systems at the time. Sadly, the salesman has never got back to us since. Very disappointing, however I will continue to watch your videos.
Hi, thank you for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. If you'd like to give me more details you can email me at c.evans@liverpoolvwcv.co.uk
Again, I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience.
Thank you 👍😁👋🇳🇱
My pleasure!
Thanks, really useful as don’t currently have adblue vehicle. Appreciate this is a few years old but I have a couple of questions - adblue volume units, I guess this doesn’t change other readings in the vehicle ie mpg doesn’t become kilometres per litre?
And 2, DPF regen - My typical run only has a max of 10 mins on fast roads before I have to slow down to below the regen window, I can then go back up into the regen zone but again need to slow down a number of times until I arrive at work between 30-45 mins from start. Will the regen continue once back in the zone, or does it reset to the start again awaiting for the right conditions. I understand ideally it needs to be one continuous activity but that means taking the vehicle out specifically for regen in mind.
Olá, podem explicar qual o problema, visto acender a luz do ponto de! E pedir para ir à oficina retirar o óleo em excesso...
Hi Chris .I have a grand California 600
But when I looked in the foot well on the passenger side there was no jak .? Should there of been one the space is there for one.
Hi Chris, There's a hole to the left of the top hinge to store the AdBlue cap when filling
Great tip! Thanks.
A little off topic, but regarding the engine choices. So you have basically two 2.0 diesel engines as a choice for the California Ocean. Or you have a choice between 150ps coast and 200ps ocean. Are they exactly the same engine,, but with different map? If so is there any reason why someone can not remap the 150 to give 200ps? Or are they two completely different engines?
Good video :)
When is the full EV version due out so we can finally abandon diesel?
Thanks :)
Good question! The eTransporter is a step in the right direction, but we might have to wait a while to see an electric California.
