Right: JLM Emission Reduction Treatment JULY/AUGUST 2022 AFTERMARKET 35 www.aftermarketonline.net Left: JLM DPF Cleaner “We’ve seen an increase in problems caused by inferior quality DPF fluids due to little or no active ingredients. These have been corrected by refilling the additive tank with JLM DPF Refill Fluid.” Steve Scott, a highly regarded diagnostics technician, and the founder of SimplyDiag network also observed: “We only use tier one products in our repairs and the JLM DPF Refill Fluid fits the bill perfectly. It has the appropriate active ingredient concentrations, putting it on par with the OEM fluid specifications across four fluid types - something cheaper brands don’t always have or comply with. It’s a big problem when inferior products are used because it can lead to rapid, irreparable, thermal damage of the systems designed to lower DPF temperatures.” One bottle of the JLM DPF Refill Fluid gives your car up to 70,000 miles of protection. It keeps the DPF in good condition, aiding its natural regeneration at low temperatures. It is also much cheaper than the OEM equivalents. Ask your technician to use it when your tank next needs refilling or buy it from your local stockist. Q2: The DPF warning light is illuminating. What should I do? We advise you to visit a DPF specialist – a technician who has undergone hardcore DPF training. We recommend a member of Darren Darling’s DPF Doctor Network because they specialise in solving the most challenging DPF-related problems. They use the JLM range of DPF products in the workshop. Which product to use depends on how blocked the DPF is, or if another problem is causing the light to illuminate. For example, with the JLM Professional DPF Toolkit, a technician can clean a fully blocked DPF without having to remove it from the car. The best product to use before contacting a technician is the JLM DPF Particulate Filter Cleaner which you simply add to the diesel tank. It is a professional-grade highly effective DPF Cleaner. Cheap products can cause the DPF to melt from the inside due to their high iron content. If the warning light continues after using one bottle, contact a DPF Doctor. Q3: Can I protect my DPF? Yes, an effective and easy product to add to the fuel tank is the JLM DPF Regen Plus. This product prevents the DPF from blocking and because it is suitable for all diesel cars you can use it knowing it will keep your DPF clean and it will help the DPF to regenerate, which is essential for good DPF health. How many to use? This depends on your driving habits. For example, if your driving is in the main short, stop-start journeys we recommend one bottle every two months. If you’re a regular motorway driver, one bottle every three months should do the trick. Q4: How can I keep the exhaust system clean on my diesel car? The JLM Emission Reduction Treatment professional formula promotes DPF Regeneration, reduces emissions and soot and cleans out the exhaust system. It removes carbon deposits from injectors, prevents needles from seizing, reduces corrosion and wear and improves the performance of the catalytic converter. Use it before your vehicle’s MOT as it can change what would have been an emissions failure into a pass! We recommend you add a can to the fuel tank every 5000 miles.
