A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is part of a diesel vehicle’s exhaust system. Its job is to capture and store soot particles produced during combustion, helping to reduce harmful emissions.
Over time, the filter fills with soot and must be cleared through a process called regeneration, where the soot is burned away at high temperatures.
If regeneration does not occur successfully, the DPF can become blocked and may require professional cleaning or repair.
Common symptoms of a blocked DPF include:
