Are you dealing with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issue in your Peugeot Expert? This common concern has been noted with models from 2016 onwards, becoming a source of frustration for many van owners. Let's delve into what causes these DPF faults, the symptoms to look out for, and explore the potential repairs.
The DPF plays a crucial role in reducing emissions by catching soot and exhaust particles before they exit the exhaust system. In the Peugeot Expert, several factors can lead to DPF faults, including:
- **Short Drives**: Frequent short trips prevent the DPF from reaching the temperature required to burn off the accumulated soot. - **Low-Quality Fuel**: Using diesel that contains more impurities can increase soot deposits. - **Sensor Malfunctions**: Faulty sensors can give incorrect readings, leading to improper DPF regeneration cycles.Recognizing the symptoms early can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. Key signs include:
- **Decreased fuel efficiency**: The van might consume more fuel than usual. - **Loss of power**: You might notice that your Peugeot Expert is not as responsive or powerful. - **Dashboard warnings**: The most obvious indicator will be a lit DPF light on the dashboard.Addressing a DPF fault typically involves a few steps which might include:
- **Inspection and Diagnosis**: To accurately diagnose the issue, a comprehensive examination using specialized diagnostic tools is necessary. - **Manual Regeneration**: If the DPF is not excessively blocked, manual regeneration might be attempted to burn off the soot. - **DPF Replacement**: Severely blocked DPFs may require replacement, an expensive and time-consuming process.With the complexity and cost associated with repairing a DPF fault, you might wonder whether it's more pragmatic to sell your vehicle.
