To learn more about the DPF system, please see our What is DPF article.
Common Symptoms Of A Failed DPF
The vehicle comes installed with a Siemens PPD ECU and the majority of companies across the country are using what is known as “Automated Software” which we speak about in our Automated Software article, this clearly explains the problems that can arise from using such software.
The Siemens PPD ECU is very complex and has 100’s of hidden interlinked data strings relating to the DPF system and the problem is, the software that most companies even today are using just doesn’t find all the hidden and interlinked data strings but it does find the generic DPF file structures and simply deletes them and that’s it, nothing more.
So where’s the problem in that? – It will never completely disable the DPF system.. at most it will mask the errors but it will never cancel out the DPF Regeneration and if it continues to regenerate then you will damage the pump injectors, turbo charger and in most extreme cases a complete engine failure can occur.
How Will Sinspeed Remove my DPF?
We download your PPD ECU Data files and manually scan through them to locate and delete the generic DPF file structures and continue to scan through and locate every single hidden and interlinked data string relating to the DPF system. Some interlinked data strings are combined and programmed with other sensors such as the Lambda, Temperate, Air Mass & Exhaust Gas Pressure Sensors. We modify these strings to remove the DPF settings and recalibrate the sensors to ensure they will continue to perform optimally even after the DPF has been removed. This is the ONLY sure way to guarantee a successful DPF removal with no problems for the future.
What Can I Expect After My DPF Is Removed?
From February 2014, the law is changing to include the visual inspection of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) during your MOT inspection. Although our DPF Removals are very discreet and our smoke-correction ensures the vehicle won’t smoke come MOT time, we are offering our DPF Removal sessions as an “Off-Road Use Only” service.
We also carry out a Free Smoke-Correction Service with every DPF Removal to ensure your vehicle will continue to run as it should.
To learn more about this service, check out our article on our smoke-correction service.
After having the DPF removed from your Vehicle, it will not bring up any error messages and the car will not go into LIMP mode. Also, you will never experience any Regeneration messages where the ECU normally attempts to clean the DPF – this is because the DPF is no longer existing.
Finally, you will experience an overall increase in performance, smoothing out any flat spots and safeguard the life of both your engine & turbocharger.
A new DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) will range from £700.00 – £1500.00 (+Labour & VAT). We can remove the entire DPF for a fraction of this cost and you’ll never have to worry about it ever again.
