He went on to say, “We’re asking the ASA to clamp down on those advertising these dubious practices … But we’re also calling on the Government to make it illegal to remove these pollution filters in the first place”. Modern diesel engines currently produce less carbon dioxide levels than petrol engines, however they produce much higer NOx levels. High levels of NOx are dangerous to the environment and can cause respiratory problems for humans such as inflammation of the airways. It’s for these reasons that systems such as DPF filters were introduced. How Does A Diesel Particulate Filter Work? Generally, DPF cleaners begin to work pretty much straight away after being application. Research has shown that vehicles can start to show improved performance as little after 10-15 minutes after the DPF cleaner has been applied. Once you’ve applied the cleaner, you should start to see a noticeable improvement from your car. How Often Should I Use DPF Cleaner?

Two steps to getting your car back to full health

A DPF system works sitting in between the vehicle engine and exhaust system. It’s a small to medium sized filter which catches exhaust soot and then stores it in the filter instead of it being pumped out of the exhaust and into the atmosphere. Once you have run the car very hot for a sustained period pull over and immediately switch off the car.

The car was running just fine, although it was drinking a lot of diesel. The only other symptom was a flashing glow plug light. Over the last 10 years, air pollution has become a public health emergency and it is further alleged that particulate pollution is now responsible for around 50,000 avoidable deaths every year in the UK. You can also use the DPF cleaner in conjuction with cheaper diesel as opposed to using more premium diesel fuels at each fill up. Should I Use A DPF cleaner If My Warning Light Is Not On? Rinse the filter from both sides with warm water. Ensure that any contaminant flush is drained out from the filter, and continue until the water runs clear through all openings/apertures. DPF cleaners are suitable for most diesel or biodiesel engines and they may require regular usage to keep the DPF clean. However, if you find that they aren’t as effective as you would expect, go on a “spirited” drive whilst keeping the RPM’s high. You could also drive on the motorway and keep the car in a lower gear whilst travelling at 60 to 70 MPH. This type of driving along with using the cleaner should help to keep it clean as long as there isn’t a fault with the DPF.

Modern diesel vehicles require regular journeys and not just that, they require journeys which allow the engine to get up to optimum temperature which then allows all of the emissions systems to work at their best. Unfortunately, short, infrequent journeys are a huge problem for modern diesels which are equipped with DPF filters as they don’t allow the DPF and other emissions systems to work properly. The Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in most people working from home which has then culminated in their vehicles not being used anywhere near as much. When drivers are using their cars, they are generally being used for a weekly trip to the shops, school run etc. If you have an automatic select the auto second gear position and drive the engine around 5,000 rpm.

Our advice would be to use a good quality DPF cleaner to keep the system clean and also to ensure your car is treated to a decent run out allowing the system to do what it needs to do.

If your diesel car is fitted with a DPF, it’s imperative that you use DPF compliant engine oil.

One of their primary causes involves complaining to the ASA about the prevalence of adverts for DPF removal services.

As well as the warning light, you’ll also likely notice a decrease in performance from your car. You may experience the following symptoms. Another contributing factor to DPF problems is poor quality diesel fuel. The more expensive, premium fuels contain additional additives which help reduce the amount of soot build up.
