DPF PROBLEMS?

Common DPF problems include: ■ Lack of regeneration (blocked filter) ■ Insufficient drive cycles ■ Sensor fault ■ Mechanical fault ■ Electrical system fault ■ Poor quality fuels/oils/servicing ■ Low fuel/oil level ■ Empty/low fluid reservoir ■ Excessive heat (Broken down/melted filter core) ■ Excess fuel combusting upstream of filter ■ Excess fuel combusting within filter. The filter can only deal with what flows through it. A blocked filter is a symptom of a problem, not the cause.

LKQ Euro Car Parts offer a DPF cleaning service with a turnaround of just three days: LKQ Euro Car Parts offer a DPF cleaning service, what are the benefits? ■ The customer is getting the same unit back – no fitment issues ■ It is a cost-effective alternative to main dealer prices where no aftermarket unit is available ■ Patented cleaning process that removes 98% of ash and soot.

Day 1: Customer identifies blocked DPF, branch collects DPF and sends to be cleaned

Day 2: DPF is inspected, cleaned and tested and returned to branch

Day 3: Branch receives DPF and sends back to the customer.

■ The process is completely safe for the DPF filter and the materials within the filter ■ No harmful solvents are used which could damage the internal materials ■ Before cleaning, the machine measures the DPF's air flow rate in its dirty/blocked state ■ The DPF then cycles through a high-pressure flush cleaning process – this is repeated 16 times and ensures maximum removal of particulate matter, ash, soot and oil

■ After cleaning the DPF is up to 98% as efficient as fitting a new replacement ■ The DPF's airflow is then re-measured to ensure particles have been removed and the filter is unblocked and clean ■ The DPF is then fully dried to ensure there will be no white smoke through the exhaust when the engine is started-up after being re-fitted.
