A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device which sits in the exhaust system, it “captures” soot / diesel particulate and other nasty particles so they are not released into atmosphere. A diesel particulate filter can remove upwards of 85% of the particles from the exhaust, reducing harmful emissions.
The DPF physically captures the soot and ash particles in a net or mesh like structure within the filter.
[/ffb_param][ffb_param route=”o gen content 1-|-accordion accordion title title”]Does my vehicle have a DPF fitted?[/ffb_param][ffb_param route=”o gen content 1-|-accordion accordion content content”]UK emissions standards for cars effectively required fitment of a DPF in the exhaust of diesel vehicles in 2009 when the ‘Euro 5′ standard came into force. Many vehicles before this time already had one fitted in anticipation of this requirement but its generally accepted that very few diesel vehicles manufactured before 2006 had a diesel particulate filter fitted.[/ffb_param][ffb_param route=”o gen content 2-|-accordion accordion title title”]What is DPF cleaning?[/ffb_param][ffb_param route=”o gen content 2-|-accordion accordion content content”]DPF cleaning is a manual process that removes the soot and diesel particulates from the filter. DPF cleaning is achieved using by utilising ultrasonic cleaning technology in combination with specialist chemicals. This process removes all traces of particulate, returning it back to near new condition. Having your DPF cleaned in this way is certainly a viable alternative to replacing the entire unit considering what it would cost to replace it.[/ffb_param][ffb_param route=”o gen content 3-|-accordion accordion title title”]How long should a DPF last?[/ffb_param][ffb_param route=”o gen content 3-|-accordion accordion content content”]The lifespan of a DPF is very hard to determine. There are many factors to take into account however we would hedge our bets on expecting a DPF for the average driver to last in excess of 70k miles from new.
