If you're experiencing issues with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on your Fiat Ducato from the years 2006 to 2014, you're not alone. This is a common concern I've encountered numerous times throughout my 15 years as a master technician.
The DPF on the Fiat Ducato is designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. However, the Fiat Ducato (2006 to 2014) DPF fault typically manifests through a few noticeable symptoms. Owners might observe increased fuel consumption, a reduction in engine performance, and sometimes, an irritating check engine light. In severe cases, the van might enter into a 'limp' mode, restricting engine output to prevent further damage.
Several factors contribute to DPF issues in this specific model. Common causes include frequent short trips that prevent the DPF from reaching the temperature required to burn off accumulated particulates effectively. Another potential culprit could be a malfunction within the DPF sensor system or issues with the fuel additive used to aid the DPF regeneration process.
Addressing the Fiat Ducato DPF fault typically begins with a thorough diagnostic check to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. If the DPF is salvageable, a manual regeneration may be attempted. However, this isn't always successful, and sometimes, complete DPF replacement is the only solution. Such repairs can be costly and time-consuming, demanding extensive expertise and precise execution.
Given the complexities and potential expenses involved in rectifying a Fiat Ducato DPF fault, you might find it more practical to sell your vehicle. At Vandervan, we offer a straightforward and efficient solution to sell your van. Imagine getting a quote within 30 seconds and having your van collected the very next day from any location in the UK. Moreover, the payment process is swift, guaranteeing immediate transfer to the account of your choosing. Instead of navigating the intricacies of DPF repair, selling your van could pave the way to invest in a newer, more reliable vehicle without the hassle.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
