What is A DPF

DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter. This filter is implemented into the engine of modern diesel engines to reduce vehicle emissions and pollution released into the atmosphere. Its purpose is to trap soot/particulate matter to allow for the exhaust gases to filter through the system.

What Could Go Wrong With Your DPF?

A common problem with the DPF is that it gets blocked. If the diesel particulate filter gets blocked, it will stop the exhaust gases flowing through the system properly, potentially resulting in the engine overheating.

Often the main cause of the filter being blocked is the engine isn’t getting hot enough when in use. This is common in stop-start traffic as the car is moving very slowly and therefore unable to heat up efficiently. If being in stop-start traffic is a regular occurrence then the soot will continue to build up in the filter, eventually resulting in blockage.

When a blockage in the DPF occurs, your vehicles will notify you with an orange light shaped like the DPF on your dashboard. When this light displays, we advise that you seek assistance from a vehicle technician as soon as you can.

What Are The Benefits?

Diesel particulate filters are good for reducing car emissions however they can also cause a few problems for the car. Having a DPF solution will enable the vehicle to breathe easy and have improved fuel efficiency and performance.

Increase Power

A DPF solution will allow the car to be able to reach its full potential and power. The vehicle will be open to an increased amount of power due to the improved miles per gallon as there is less air restriction to the engine. The engine will run more smoothly, and there won’t be any more ‘limp modes’ when the car needs to go into regeneration mode.

Improve Fuel Efficiency

If the regeneration process is unable to take place in the filter, then it will result in the soot and particulate matter building up and causing a blockage. Due to this the performance of the vehicle will be affected and have a further impact on the fuel economy. The car will need to work harder to be able to perform normally.

Save Money

Indulging in a DPF solution can benefit you financially. When the diesel particulate filter gets blocked, it can become expensive to have to get it unblocked/cleaned constantly. Alongside this, if the filter regularly blocks, it may also need replacing. The dpf solution will solve the issue of it getting blocked and needing replacing.
