DPF NTR

A DPF is essentially a ceramic or metallic filter that collects soot from exhaust gases. Over time, DPFs will fill up with soot and other particulates from combustion and will periodically go through a regeneration (cleaning) cycle where the soot is burned off. This process creates a small amount of ash each time it happens, which will eventually block the DPF and it will require replacing. If the DPF is becoming clogged with soot or a fault develops in the system, an orange light will typically appear on the dashboard. If the vehicle is showing a warning light and the problem has to be investigated. Use of a fuel additive and a good run at higher engine speeds for 20 mins or so can sometimes force a DPF to regenerate, but often the damage is done and the blockage can’t be cleared, which means a replacement is required.

There are over 130 active DPF part numbers available through FPS for same/next day delivery. All parts are catalogued on the F:Drive< and MAM Autocat.
