New (to me) D5
"Mechanically" remove as much as one can get to. Carefully without dislodging any of it and sending it into the intake/engine. To get the manifolds entirely clean is to remove them, probably not worth the cost.

I just downgraded from my 2018 TD6 to a newer 2022 gas “RDynamic”. So I can stop following this and other similar tales of woe. Very disillusioned with all the diesel/DPF mess here in California - my dealer just replaced the whole DPF/DEF system yet again - I got just over 1000 miles on the last DPF - and I managed to get it traded in while the CEL was off … just before emissions warranty expired. Didn’t get much on the trade-in of course.
So I’ll still be reading about puddles in the footwells but hopefully never will see those dreaded DPF initials again (did I tell you I got me a 2000 F-350 7.3 diesel with 120gallons in the bed and not a single piece of electronics or software between engine and it’s 3” tailpipes …).
Happy oil-burning folks!

Same for me. After so many issues with the my new 2017 TD6, I “upgraded” by trading in for a new-to-me 2018 gas in 2020. Has been a relative dream. Had the potential troublesome plastic water pipes changed to metal to forstall that problem. Otherwise, has been trouble free at 120k miles.
