steps you can take to fix a dirty dpf filter
If you own a diesel vehicle that was built after 2009 then your vehicle by law will have been fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This filter is responsible for capturing harmful soot and other particulate matter from the exhaust gases. Over time, the DPF can become dirty and clogged, which can cause a variety of problems, including reduced fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and even engine damage.
Here are some steps you can take to fix a dirty DPF filter:
​
Check the DPF warning light: If your vehicle has a DPF warning light, it may illuminate when the filter is dirty. If the light is on, it's important to address the issue as soon as possible. Continuing to drive the vehicle with a dirty DPF can cause further damage to the engine.
​
Regenerate the DPF: Many diesel vehicles have a built-in regeneration system that can clean the DPF. This process involves raising the temperature of the exhaust gases to burn off the accumulated soot.
​
Clean the DPF: If regeneration is not possible or if the filter is severely clogged, you may need to clean the DPF manually. This is the most cost effective method of fixing a DPF problem. There are several methods for cleaning a DPF, including:
-
Chemical cleaning: This involves soaking the DPF in a chemical solution. The solution is then flushed through the filter at high pressure to remove the accumulated soot.
-
High pressure cleaning: This involves using high-pressure to remove the harmful soot from the DPF.
​
​Replace the DPF: If the filter is severely damaged or cannot be cleaned, it may need to be replaced. This can be a costly repair, but it's important to address the issue to prevent further damage to the engine and to maintain fuel efficiency.
​
We always recommend to our customers to explore the possibility of a DPF clean, as it is so much more cost effective and in 9 out of 10 cases, we are able to clean the filter rather than you having to replace it.
