This is what a DPF can look like before and after cleaning 😱
The difference is pretty striking!
Your DPF – or Diesel Particulate Filter – captures soot produced by your diesel engine. Normally, much of that soot is burned off through a process called regeneration, but sometimes build-up can become a problem😬
Regular short journeys can be one contributing factor, as your car may not always get the conditions it needs to complete the regeneration process.
But here's the important bit: a DPF problem doesn't automatically mean you need a new DPF. Depending on what's causing the problem and the condition of the filter, cleaning may be an appropriate solution 👍
That's why we always come back to the same message: find out what's causing the problem first ❓
DPF warning light on, losing power or diesel not running as it should?
Don't panic. Don't ignore it. Don't guess. Diagnose ✅
