What happens if you cant keep your DPF clean?
Bottom line is, if you can’t keep your DPF clean, you are going to have ongoing aftertreatment issues and repairs. The diesel particulate filter captures pollutants before they exit the exhaust stack. These pollutants build up on the ceramic of the DPF over time.
What should I do if my DPF light is blocked?
With that in mind, here are 5 ways to fix a blocked DPF: Drive Faster. If you are driving slowly everywhere in your large diesel, the DPF will become blocked. Increase Your RPM. If the DPF light is on, your best bet is to drive at high RPM’s for a prolonged period until the warning lights turn off. Avoid City Centers.
Why is the DPF on my V50 not working?
The DPF is exactly what it says it is, a filter, you can replace the filter as many times as you like, but until you address the issue that is causing it to prematurely block in the first place, it will keep happening. My guess would be leaky injector leading to excessive fuel or a dodgy turbo seal.
Why do I have so much DPF blockage?
The start stop nature of urban driving is one of the biggest reasons many drivers experience blockage issues. Short journeys, low speeds and the start stop nature of driving built up areas can make it near impossible to replicate the conditions needed for an active or passive DPF regeneration. Let’s hear from you!

3. Check that the EGR system is working correctly; 4. Check that the vehicle has the correct specification engine oil; 5. Check the Eolys/Cerine additive (active system); 6. When the DPF filter load reaches a predetermined level, the ECU activates a regeneration process to increase the DPF temperature to over 550˚C.
