Are you experiencing issues with your Nissan NV300, specifically from the 2016 models onwards? One common issue is the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) fault. As a UK-based master tech mechanic with over 15 years under my belt, I've seen this first-hand. Let me walk you through the basics of this problem, its usual triggers, and the symptoms it might present.
The DPF is an essential component designed to capture and store exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel engines. However, it needs to periodically regenerate – a process that burns off the soot at high temperatures. When this doesn’t happen optimally, it leads to a build-up, eventually causing the DPF fault. Common triggers for this issue in the Nissan NV300 include frequent short journeys where the engine doesn't reach high enough temperatures to initiate the regeneration process, poor quality fuel, or certain engine malfunctions such as faulty temperature sensors or injectors.
If your Nissan NV300 is suffering from a DPF fault, the first sign is usually a warning light on the dashboard, specifically the DPF light. You might also notice a reduction in engine performance, poor fuel economy, or the vehicle may enter a 'limp-home' mode to prevent further damage. In severe cases, a blocked DPF can lead to increased exhaust pressure, ultimately causing damage to the engine.
Resolving a DPF issue can vary from simple to complex. Initially, a manual regeneration, triggered by a diagnostic tool, might solve the problem. If the filter is too clogged, it might require professional cleaning or even a replacement. Remember, handling complex engine components generally demands technical expertise and the right tools.

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.
