Everything You Need to Know About DPF Cleaning
If you’re running a newer diesel vehicle, you’ll be familiar with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) challenge. These filters are brilliant when they’re working properly, but they can be a real nightmare when they’re not. In this article we’ll look at why DPFs need cleaning, and how our team of experienced engineers is dedicated to restoring your DPF back to its original condition, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency for your vehicle.
What is a DPF?
Your DPF captures up to 85 per cent of harmful soot particles before they reach the atmosphere. But like any filter, it needs regular maintenance to keep doing its job effectively. Over time, it will fill with soot and normally, your car handles this through regeneration, burning off the soot at high temperatures. But when this process fails (which happens more often than you might think), you need professional intervention to avoid serious problems. Without proper cleaning, you’ll face reduced performance, poor fuel economy and potentially significant repair costs.
Spotting the Signs
The signs of a DPF in trouble are pretty clear. You might experience loss of power, the DPF light on, limp mode activation, unsuccessful regeneration attempts, a strong diesel smell, excessive exhaust smoke, rising oil levels and increased fuel consumption.
