DPF Repairs & Servicing – Chipping Warden

PRS Auto Services provides DPF repairs and servicing in Chipping Warden.

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) collect soot and other particulate matter to minimise exhaust emissions and so are important parts of modern diesel engines. Nevertheless, several frequent issues with DPFs can negatively affect vehicle performance and compliance with emissions regulations. At PRS Auto Services, we repair and service DPFs to ensure that your vehicle performs well and meets emissions standards.

Some common DPF problems:

• Blockages – Over time, sooty deposits can build up in the DPF, especially if the vehicle is mostly used for short trips which don’t allow the engine to reach the necessary temperature to perform regeneration. This causes blockages which reduce the filter’s efficiency.
• Failed regeneration – If the DPF regeneration process, which burns off any accumulated deposits, is not completed properly, it can lead to partial or complete blockage of the filter. This can be caused by driving conditions or is sometimes due to faulty sensors.
• Sensor failure – Your vehicle has sensors which measure the level of soot accumulation in the DPF and the temperature of the exhaust. If either of these sensors fail and provide incorrect data, then the DPF regeneration process cannot be completed effectively.

These are the most common issues that we see, but as with any vehicle component, there can be others. In order to resolve DPF problems, specialist diagnostic tools and expertise are required to pinpoint the root cause. At PRS Auto Services we have the tools and the skills, so get in touch with our team if you have any concerns at all about the performance of your vehicle’s DPF.
