Are you experiencing issues with your Renault Trafic’s diesel particulate filter (DPF)? If your van dates from 2014 onwards, this might be a familiar situation. Let’s dive into what causes these issues, the common symptoms you might notice, and the typical repair processes.
The DPF is crucial for reducing the amount of soot emitted by diesel engines. However, like all parts, it can experience faults due to a variety of factors. In models such as the Renault Trafic from 2014 onward, a DPF fault can lead to performance degradation and increased emissions, which might eventually result in your vehicle failing its MOT test.
A Renault Trafic (2014 to present) DPF fault is usually precipitated by insufficient regular driving at motorway speeds where the engine can reach high enough temperatures to naturally burn off the accumulated soot. This is often referred to as 'passive regeneration'. The primary symptoms indicating a DPF issue include:
Sudden or frequent short trips can exacerbate this problem, preventing the DPF from efficiently burning off the soot.
The resolution typically begins with a diagnostics check to confirm the presence of a DPF fault. Cleaning the DPF can sometimes resolve the issue; however, if the DPF is beyond salvage, replacement might be necessary. This procedure can be quite costly, not just in terms of parts but also the labor involved.
If you're noticing any of the symptoms mentioned above, it might be more practical to consider alternatives to costly repairs.
Considering the potential expenses involved in repairing a Renault Trafic DPF fault, you might find it more practical to sell your vehicle. Especially if your van is frequently encountering this issue, the cumulative repair costs and downtime might not justify keeping it. This is where Vandervan comes in.
