Z19dt really heavy blue smoke after 10 mins
Hi I recently bought a zafira 1.9 cdti Z19dt, as I did have a vectra Sri but needed more boot space, now comes my problems I have read loads of other posts but still confused
I have put dpf cleaner in it
Cleaned the egr
Gave it a good booting
After 10-20 mins driving from cold loads of blue smoke is coming out the exhaust like it trying to regenerate it's stinks of diesel. I have turned the car off n started it again n it stops for a bit.I have a recipient for a dpf in October last year, I have held it in gear at 3500 on the motorway for over 30 miles, put dpf cleaner in it, put the computer on the car and told the car it's had a new dpf n that stopped it for about 5 days and now am back to square 1 blue smoke again. There are no engine management lights on but I have noticed that there is no glow plug light or car with the spanner the only code what comes up on the computer is b1016
So do I take it for a remap and get the dpf n egr deleted?

how often?
problem is, doing 30 miles at 3000rpm won't regen the DPF, doing 30 miles at 3000 rpm while the DPF is in a regen will.
it will only clean itself when IT is ready, not when YOU are. mine used to do it in traffic, embarrassing PITA.
dead giveaway the DPF is running a regen is the fuel economy REALLY bottoming out, mine used to show 1 gallon per hour when ticking over!
perhaps @Teapot could be a little more informative than me.
because........SIGNUM!

It shouldn't produce much smoke whilst doing a regeneration. If it is then there is something wrong. The first thing to check is that the coolant temperature is reaching at least 80 degrees on the guage. If not the thermostat is knackered and the engine is not hot enough to regenerate the DPF properly. Beyond that, it needs someone experienced and with opcom or tech2 to diagnose the root cause accurately., or gut the DPF and map-out.
