Are you experiencing issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in your Suzuki Carry from between 2002 and 2014? As a UK-based master tech mechanic with over 15 years of experience under my belt, I am here to guide you through understanding the root of this issue, potential symptoms, and the typical repair process.
The DPF is an essential component designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. However, the Suzuki Carry models from 2002 to 2014 can sometimes encounter DPF blockages or faults. Common causes include short driving trips where the engine doesn't reach optimal operating temperatures, use of incorrect engine oil, or a natural build-up of soot over time that isn't adequately burned off.
If your Suzuki Carry is suffering from a DPF fault, you might notice several telltale signs. Reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, a persistently illuminating engine management light, or an excessive amount of smoke from the exhaust can all be indicators of a DPF issue.
Addressing a DPF fault typically involves either a manual regeneration, cleaning, or in some severe cases, replacement. Manual regeneration is performed using diagnostic tools to get the DPF to a high enough temperature to burn off accumulated particulates. If the filter is beyond regeneration, physical cleaning or replacement might be necessary which can be both costly and time-consuming.
Given the complexity and potential high costs associated with rectifying a DPF fault in an older model like the Suzuki Carry (2002 to 2014), you might find it more beneficial to assess other options. Why not consider selling your van to Vandervan? Doing so eliminates the hassle and expenditure of repairs and allows you to invest in a newer, more efficient vehicle.

Upgrading could save you time, reduce future maintenance costs, and ensure greater reliability and performance.

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.
