Hello,
it has been a very hot day today here in Spain. Above 37ºC. It is the first time I use my 2018 Prado 2.8 in these conditions. I've been using Torque Pro to look at DPF % and S1, S2, S3 temperatures.
It's the first time I see passive regeneration of the DPF in my car. Flat out in the highway, climbing, temperatures 1, 2 and 3 raised over 580ºC and DPF% lower about 4% first time, another 4% the second time, but the third time (over 3 minutes flat out) it dropped almost 30% this longest time. At the beginning DPF% was 94% and at the end was 70%.
It's good to know but I don't love to drive "pedal to the metal" so much time: Moreover fue consumption raised a lot.
I've been thinking about it. How can we raise DPF temperature? If we stop the fresh air with a skid plate, could we achieve passive regenerations?
Just to notice my car has an SCR system using AdBlue as it complies Euro 6.
Greetings!
Fernando
