π₯ DPF FAILURE β SOMETIMES A CLEAN JUST ISNβT ENOUGH π₯
This Vauxhall Mokka came to us with serious DPF problems, but on inspection we found something much worseβ¦
The DPF had melted internally. π₯
Once the DPF substrate has melted and collapsed, a chemical clean cannot restore it. Continuing to try and regenerate a DPF in this condition can potentially cause further problems.
In this case, the correct solution was to replace the damaged DPF and ensure the underlying issue was addressed.
This is why we always recommend carrying out a proper diagnostic before simply attempting a regeneration or clean. A blocked DPF is often a symptom of another fault, and finding the cause is just as important as cleaning the filter.
