...DPF systems seem to be gathering pace in the problem list. The Zafira B Z19DT is one such call we deal with regularly. On investigation of the fault codes the DPF pressure sensor seems to be at fault, but the rubber pipes located near the DPF may have melted through. And codes for gl...
...estricted DPF systems . The trace above is an example of a stretched timing chain on a Micra. All these tests, and many more, are possible with a pressure transducer attached to an oscilloscope. We often get emailed scope traces sent to the helpline for checking. This is a very h...
...In this second part of the series, the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) continues looking at the combustion process, stoichiometry and emissions in petrol and diesel engines, concentrating on diesel exhaust g as recirculation (EGR), and the differences between them. The first thing th...

...ithin the DPF , meaning it had reached its design limits and needed replacing. As a consequence of this, the Eolys tank must be nearly empty and required refilling with the appropriate Eolys (remember that there are two types). The second fault was more interesting, as it indicated excessiv...
...same as a Diesel particulate filter system. AdBlue is a Urea based fluid that is injected into the exhaust to reduce harmful NOx emissions. DPFs are not necessary. Fiction. Diesel exhaust contain a wide array of soot particles that are harmful to human health. With more diesels on the road...
...e filter (DPF ), a complete one-piece assembly within the exhaust system. The DPF utilizes a porous silicon carbide substrate that traps the soot particulate. As you might guess, the particulate trap would become saturated with particulate matter and would stop functioning properly within a...

...filters (DPF ). The DPF removes carbon particulates (black smoke) and stores it. Sensors detect an accumulation of particulates and, when required, initiate a regeneration process which heats the filter to over 600C. The carbon is burnt off as CO2 and ash. The DPF can be problematic, espec...
