I’ve got a Fiat doblo
1.3 multi jet 2014 plate
Had it serviced in May and got the mobile mechanic do a forced regeneration from his laptop
Clouds blew out for a minute or so 🤨
Not had van do a regeneration yet
Had van 18 months ish
Not had any problems but I only do town driving
Do you guys put any dpf cleaners in your tank?
Ie forte dpf cleaner
Bit paranoid about DPF
What with 2021 and ultra low emissions zone expanding also
Wondered if a petrol van would be better in future?
Anyone got a petrol van? Don’t know how fuel economical they are
Anyone using diesel van that uses ad blue?
Take it they don’t have a dpf filter?🤔
All good fun 😏
Thanks lee

My transit custom DPF’s a coupe of times a month.
I hate how they don’t give the option to do a forced DPF, for example, mine always seems to start the cycle at the end of a journey!!
Think the ad blue vans might not have a DPF cycle, but will google that now!
Turns out I think the ad blue vans still have a DPF cycle...

In future I don't think you're going to have any option other than to get a petrol or electric van, big companies like the Royal Mail have already started to replace their diesel vans with petrol.

Dont worry H MAN will knock something up with some electrical tape and an old can of baked beans.

ultra low zone is only central london? how far is it expanding looking to keep my vans..old as no dpfs.

I used to love thrashing my old transit connect every now and then, to clear out the soot.
The huge puff of black smoke always put a smile on my face 😎

Hello everyone
Crystal clear I live in Waltham Abbey
But ulez will be extending to parts of Walthamstow near north and south circular
I link a map later, try to
Basically the small ulez circle ⭕️ in central London will be widening out come 2021
Look it up on YouTube
There is a petition against it
It will affect people with petrol cars more than 13 yrs old I think and diesels before 2016
Sorry if I’ve made errors but think this info is correct 🤔
£12 a day to use a non conforming vehicle
Talk of congestion Charge moving out from centre of London too
I’m sure a clever informed person will be along soon 😊
Talk of this happening ‘ulez’ in Birmingham and Manchester too
As heard places mentioned are asking mayor of London what technology he is using to police fines
🙆🏻♂️

Your dpf IS regenerating, you just don't know it. I wouldn't worry about it, just drive it and give it some shoe now and then! Dpfs are a flawed technology to begin with.

On the facelift custom you can do a force regen via menu's but i think its an optional extra

It needs a good drive on a motorway shifting in to a lower gear now a nd then.

surely they cant take it past zone 2 3 and 4 ? that will put alot of people out of business who simply cant afford to pay £12 a day or buy a new van, they'll need to compensate it wouldnt be fair on people to basically say your work van is now scrap ... ?

ULez is London only, and covers the same area as the congestion zone. if your vehicle is not Euro 6 (check registration doc) then you must pay the daily fee of £12.50 for small vans. Charge applies on all days, incl public holidays, and is in addition to the congestion charge.
It will later (probably 2021) be expanded to Greater London.
Enforcement is by ANPR camera (as with congestion charge)
Other cities will be introducing Clean Air Zones which are almost identical, requiring EURO 6 compliance to avoid fees, but the fees have not yet been finalised. These will start in 2020 or 2021.
Euro 6 diesel vehicles have an SCRT system. Basically, after the DPF, AdBlue is injected into the exhaust stream over a catalyst to convert any harmful NOx compounds to CO2. So if you have a vehicle that requires AdBlue it is almost certainly Euro 6.

If you’re working in London you can afford 12 quid a day surely?

I would have thought so - thats only the price of a front terrace 5 mins work max - so i'm lead to believe

Technically yes but it will add up to 3 and a half grand a year for a van. If it came to Greater London it would be a bit of a f up. With that sort of money they will force you to buy something new. Also I was was talking generally people in different trades will also suffer.
