About this deal

Wait for five minutes before restarting your car to find that the DPF warning light, glow plug light or engine management light switched off! If your car is suffering with a fuelling, or EGR valve system problem, it can prevent a DPF regeneration from taking place.

The Used Car Guy holds no liability for your outcomes when trying the procedure listed above. This article is meant only to aid car owners that wish to avoid spending large amounts of money on their used car. The warning light is there to serve as an alert that the system requires attention. It’s really important to take action as soon as the light illuminates, failure to do so can result in an expensive repair bill.The DPF catches soot (carbon) and about every 2000-5000 miles the engine management system will try to remove this by burning it. This can only happen if the car is driven (different manufacturers have slightly different strategies) on a fastish road above about 40-50mph for about 20 mins. If you don’t do this then at some point the car becomes desperate for a regen and may try and get some carbon burnt at less than ideal conditions. If this does not happen then at some point there is too much carbon and it could damage the substrate if a regen was started. My Zafira was in excellent condition and may have been previously owned by a very careful driver that rarely revved the engine. Diesel engine cleaners, also known as diesel fuel additives or injector cleaners, can be used to improve the performance and efficiency of diesel engines and to help them last longer. Periodically adding a diesel engine cleaner to your fuel tank should be part of your routine maintenance and can help prevent carbon build up in the injectors and keep the engine running smoothly.

Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are placed on the exhausts of diesel vehicles to prevent toxic emissions from flowing into the environment. Despite this, some motorists have the diesel filter removed to avoid mechanic failures and additional maintenance costs. SAVING ON AVERAGE" and "AVERAGE PRICE" are calculated as an overall average of prices and savings obtained on quotes on the same job type within the radius from which quotations are obtained. Like most filters, a DPF needs to be cleaned regularly otherwise it will become clogged and your DPF warning light may come on and could result in a trip to the mechanics! STP Diesel Particulate Filter is best used every 1800 miles as a preventative measure, however, should your DPF light come on, give it a try before you visit the mechanics.I was put off buying a diesel car for most of the last 10 years as your average mechanic (inc. many main-dealer ones) didn’t have much of a clue about EGR/DPF issues. Their solutions invariably revolved around expensive component replacement or it being ‘time to trade your car in’. Many mechanics, and I, understand how these systems work now as they’ve been around for a good few years, and earlier this year I traded in my (4 month old) petrol MX5 for a diesel Dacia Duster (circumstances dictated the need for a 4 seater).

It can be quite hard to diagnose where the deposits are building up in your engine, so for most applications, a generalised cleaner will probably be better.

I am hopeful that this cleaning is the best option and comfortable in knowing that my original dpf is a genuine part and will fit properly. This will result in a reduced fuel consumption overall and will help to make the DPF last for longer, delaying the need to pay for an expensive new filter. It is a great way to clean your Diesel Particulate Filter without having to remove and dismantle the filter itself and manually clean it by hand. It will increase the efficiency of the regeneration process, burning off more of the soot particles which collect in the filter and taking less time to do it. This is particularly useful for drivers who use their vehicle mainly for short distances within the city and who therefore rarely rely on passive regeneration to clean the DPF on their car. If you have an automatic select the auto second gear position and drive the engine around 5,000 rpm.
