if you do ignition on engine not running and clear the codes.
this works for the 1600 ford 1.6 diesels, it may work for you.
if the DPF is a factory item then you have to ask why its got blocked in 5 months , EGR fault, ETC
if its a after market one the same thought aplies however it may be that its just piece of crap to start with.
if you can not get the pressure readings below 4 psi at WOT in second/third gear then the light will come back on.
if you can take the DPF out of the car and wash it through with a pressure washer , i find this works very well with soot and ash,
if there is a cat at one end wash out through the other end DO NOT USE PRESSURE THE CAT END it will break it up and the whole thing is useless then.
you can use the car to dry it out once its drained for 20 mins just leave the DPF unbolted on the back flange for 20 mins while the engine is running at 2000
i find this method much more favourable on a factory DPF, rather than fitting a after market piece of crap that will haunt you for ever
