Are you experiencing issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on your Peugeot Boxer? As models from 2014 onward continue to age, we're noticing an increase in reports of DPF complications, which can impair the normal functioning of your vehicle. I'll walk you through what the DPF fault entails, its typical symptoms and causes, and the repair steps involved. With 15 years of experience as a UK-based master tech mechanic, I ensure you have all the pertinent details to address this issue prudently.
A DPF fault in a Peugeot Boxer can manifest as a loss of horsepower, poorer fuel efficiency, or an unpleasant burning smell. The most visible sign often is the DPF warning light on the dashboard. If you start noticing these symptoms, it's essential to address the situation promptly.
Causes of a DPF fault typically involve a build-up of soot particles due to short journey driving where the engine doesn’t reach the optimal temperature required for passive regeneration. Frequently, this issue also stems from using incorrect oil type or simply due to ageing of the van and its components.
Resolving a DPF fault can range from a series of simple fixes to more elaborate and costly repairs. The initial step usually involves a DPF regeneration process, which can be done by driving at sustained high speeds for a certain period to help burn off excess soot. If that does not solve the problem, a manual regeneration with appropriate diagnostic tools might be required, or worst-case scenario, a complete replacement of the DPF unit.
Given the complexity and the potential high costs of repairs—which can extend to several hundred pounds—it is understandable to feel overwhelmed.
