The diesel particulate filter, called DPF or FAP, is a filter located just above the turbocharger and is specifically planned to reduce the diesel particulate matter / ash measure. The ambition of this filter is to create cleaner / more environmentally friendly exhaust gases released into the atmosphere.
DPF gradually reduces its efficiency and becomes more and more clogged, which is part of its life. This process, called regeneration, aims to "clean" the particle filter. Unfortunately this requires special driving conditions, and if they are not met, the degree of filter blockage may exceed the threshold at which the engine control computer can renew the filter, resulting in power loss problems and even damage to the vehicle.

* Short trips-commuters with a large "city drive" are more prone to clogging because the DPF filter does not reach sufficient temperature. For the DPF renewal process to work efficiently and burn coal deposits, the engine usually needs to reach the correct operating temperature.
* Defective / damaged sensors-DPF has several sensors installed before and after the filter. These sensors are adapted to monitor the initial and final temperatures, as well as the back pressure of the filter. If one or more of these sensors fail, the regeneration process may stop.
* Defective / damaged EGR valve-the EGR valve is designed to re-cycle exhaust gases into the engine before passing through the DPF. In some cars, if the EGR system does not work effectively or is blocked, the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the DPF will increase, potentially increasing the blocking of the DPF.
* Defective / harmful valve caps - like the EGR valve, the rotary blades are fitted to help control emissions in the vehicle. If they do not work effectively, it could potentially accelerate DPF blocking.
Symptoms that can be observed when there is a problem with DPF / FAP:
* Smoke from vehicle exhaust
* Higher fuel consumption
* Turbo Delay
* Go to the emergency service text on the display
* DPF / FAP Light
* Engine light
CUSTOM AFR has the knowledge and experience to remove the DPF system from the engine control unit of a vehicle. The DPF removal software will provide the ability to use the vehicle without going into DPF clog mode.
