If you're encountering a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) fault with your Fiat Ducato from the 2014 model year onwards, you're not alone. Over my 15 years of experience as a master tech mechanic in the UK, I've seen my fair share of these issues and understand how frustrating they can be. Let's dive into what causes this issue, the symptoms to watch out for, and the typical repair process.
The DPF fault in your Fiat Ducato typically stems from a few common issues. Primarily, it could be due to the filter becoming clogged with soot, which can occur from frequent short journeys where the engine doesn't reach optimal operating temperature. Other potential causes include:
Symptoms that may indicate a DPF issue include reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, a noticeable increase in engine smoke, and the dreaded check engine light. Should you notice any of these warning signs, it's crucial to address the problem promptly.
The repair process for a DPF fault typically involves diagnosing the issue with specialist diagnostic tools to confirm that the DPF is the root cause. Following this, a manual regeneration of the DPF may be attempted, or it might need to be professionally cleaned or replaced. Depending on the condition of the filter and related components, this can become quite a costly affair.
When facing a DPF fault, especially in vehicles like the Fiat Ducato that are essential for your daily operations or business, you might ponder whether fixing it is the best course of action. The repair can be expensive, and there's always the risk of recurrence, which can add to downtime and further expenses.
This is where selling your van might be a more sensible decision. At Vandervan, we make the selling process incredibly straightforward. You can receive a quote in just 30 seconds and have your van collected the next day from anywhere in the UK, with immediate payment into your account. Simplifying this process means you can quickly move on to acquiring a new vehicle with a clean slate, avoiding recurrent maintenance issues and unforeseen costs.
