DPF

Post by LSKSK »

Watching watchdog last night and it was on about diesel particulate filters.

A lot of my mates are mechanics and they say they get a lot of cars coming in with the DPF light on their dash.

Anone know if they are really as bad as they seem because my mum wants a diesel quashqai or however you spell it

It's a filter that's been attached to the exhausts for all new diesels

best way to get the dpf light off, is take the dpf off pour a load of wheel acid down it, get a pressure washer n blast inside it...good to go for another 6-9months.

ive done 4 off them so far n never had a problem,

unfortunatly theres abit more to it than just takin it off an replacin it with a pipe like a normal CAT.
