If you own a Ford Transit from the years 2006 to 2013, you might be familiar with issues related to the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). As a seasoned mechanic with over 15 years of experience, I’ve seen numerous cases where this component causes headaches for van owners. Let's delve into what the DPF fault entails, its common symptoms, and the typical repair process.
The DPF plays a crucial role in reducing the emissions from your diesel engine by trapping soot particles. However, the Ford Transit models from 2006 to 2013 can occasionally experience complications with this component. The root of these issues often lies in prolonged driving at low speeds or short trips that prevent the DPF from reaching the temperature required to burn off the accumulated soot, a process known as 'regeneration'.
Symptoms that indicate a potential DPF fault in your Ford Transit include decreased fuel efficiency, a noticeable reduction in engine performance, and more frequent appearances of the dreaded check engine light. In more severe cases, the van might go into limp mode, severely restricting engine output to prevent further damage.
Addressing a DPF fault involves a few different strategies, ranging from simple to complex. Initially, a forced regeneration might be recommended, which requires specific diagnostic tools to compel the DPF to clear the soot at higher temperatures. If this does not resolve the issue, cleaning or replacing the DPF may be necessary. Replacement, while effective, can be quite costly due to the price of the parts and the labor involved.
Considering the potential expenses and downtime associated with repairing a DPF fault, you might ponder whether it's preferable to simply sell your Ford Transit. At Vandervan, we understand the dilemma you face. That's why we offer a straightforward, swift service that can save you from the hassle and uncertainty of costly repairs. Simply get a quote online in 30 seconds and you could have your van collected the next day from anywhere in the UK, with instant payment into your account.

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.
