What is Diesel Particulate Filter?

The diesel particle filter (DPF) found in diesel vehicles is the system in the vehicle that cleans the exhaust gas from the particles formed as a result of the combustion and reduces the emission values.

If the diesel particle filter is not cleaned by the ECU or the engine computer while the vehicle is in motion, this filter becomes clogged and your vehicle turns on the particle filter malfunction lamp.

In some cases, this lamp may not light, you should understand that this malfunction has appeared from some vehicle symptoms.Dizel

What are the Causes of Particulate Filter Clogging?

  • The vehicle falls off traction
  • Increase occurs in fuel values
  • In some vehicles, a foul odor is released from the exhaust.
  • When the diesel particle filter is plugged, the turbo pressure drops and the on-board computer may register a turbo malfunction.

What Are Some Causes of Diesel Particle Filter Clogging?

  • Using your vehicle continuously at low revs
  • Use of poor quality fuel and poor quality oil
  • Urban overuse
  • Long running of the vehicle at idle

Why is Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaning Necessary?

There can be many reasons for diesel particulate filter failures. It is usually caused by short-distance driving, using at low revs to save fuel.

At the end of these processes, the engine and particulate filter do not reach operating temperature and do not clean themselves.

If the pressure sensor is recalibrated and replaced, injectors malfunction, egr malfunction, if there is a defect in the oxygen sensors, it causes clogging of the particulate filter system.

The diesel particulate filter is an important system for the vehicle and also contributes to the smoke and emissions of the engine.

When clogged, the engine and its components are also subject to wear. (oil pump, injector, turbo, pump, egr this wear inevitably creates higher smoke emissions, causing bad combustion.

The increased smoke effect causes the diesel particulate filter to clog faster, more fuel low traction causes the engine to pile up by protecting itself.

When the diesel particulate filter is connected to the machine, it throws out the amount of soot inside and the particulate is cleaned inside.

High pressure and chemical particle cleaning fluid is used in this machine. In this way, the soot in the diesel particulate filter, that is, the blockages are cleaned.
