DPF Failure Causes / Awareness
ADVICE FOR DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER CARE
• When the EML warning light illuminates you
must follow the instructions in the owners
handbook immediately. Failure to comply
could lead to a blocked DPF.
• Active DPFs that use additive (Eloy’s Fluid)
to assist in regeneration must never be
driven without this fluid, as this could result
in a blocked DPF.
• When fitting a new DPF or topping up the
additive the control unit must be reset to
new DPF / refilled additive.
• It is not advisable to run a DPF vehicle on
bio-diesel.
REGENERATION WILL
NOT TAKE PLACE WHEN
• The fuel light is on, or there is less than
quarter of a tank of fuel
• If the engine management light is on
• If your foot is resting on the
clutch pedal
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust stream.
DPFs are only covered for structural failure, a particulate filter returned due to blockage will not be considered as a warranty claim.
