DPF CLOGGED DIESAL CARS❗
Over the last few months we have seen an increase in customers coming to us with DPF issues.
The DPF filters job is to capture and store soot produced by the exhaust, The soot is then burnt off in a process called regeneration at high temperatures and left as ash remains.
Due to lockdown many of us weren't driving our diesal cars for long periods of time or long motorway journeys, so they weren't able to reach the temperatures to allow the DPF to complete its regeneration process, leaving with blockages.
Signs of a clogged DPF filter:
- a loss of power in your engine (limp mode)
- the DPF filter light will appear on the dash.
-a pungent smell of diesal
-automatic stop-start system not working
-your car seems to be realising an excessive amount of smoke
-you've noticed an increase in fuel consumption.
If you own a Diesel and only do short drives to the shops or for the school run, you need❗Dipetane to keep your DPF clean and regenerating.
Dipetane fuel treatment which is a 100% hydrocarbon liquid fuel as opposed to an additive.
The mix is 1:200, but add a little extra the first time and then follow the measurements on the side of the bottle, and that’s it, Dipetane will cause a complete burn in the combustion chamber resulting in the DPF getting to regeneration temperature once the vehicle is taken for a half hour‐long motorway drive to produce a complete DPF regeneration cycle.
Doing this once a month can ensure that your DPF doesn’t prematurely fail causing an expensive repair bill.
