DPF filters

Disabling and removing the FAP and DPF Filter 

As the number of cars in the world increases, the amount of particulate matter in the air is growing as well. Particle reduction can be achieved using catalysts or even more effective way - DPF filters(Diesel Particulater Filter). Manufacturers started mounting this system since 2004, while French manufacturers started installing the FAP system since 2000.

Naturally, DPF filters are not permanent. They function for approximately 120 thousand kilometers. The level of clogging is constantly monitored by temperature and pressure sensors. DPF system will eventually clog up and stop working under poor operating conditions, bad fuel, or other failure unrelated with the system. Then regeneration begins - forced filter cleaning. DPF filters lose their properties due to the large temperature overheating that occurs during regeneration, therefore they can undergo only a few successful regenerations. DPF soot filters are expensive so not everyone is determined to invest in this system. The price of DPF/FAP soot filters range from 600 to 1800 Eur. If you have any problems with DPF/FAP soot filter systems, please contact us and we will help you.
Failure to properly turn off the DPF/FAP soot filter will clear the error tables (you will no longer be able to see other non-DPF/FAP-related errors), which will make it no longer possible to diagnose the car for other malfunctions. Also, if the DPF filter is turned off incorrectly, the regeneration continues, so if you notice strange, unclear smoke, get in touch with us - we will help you. It is the first sign that the DPF/FAP soot filter is incorrectly switched off and it is dangerous to your engine. Regeneration delays combustion and causes fuel increase, thus heats the entire system to extremely high temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to think carefully before choosing the cheapest DPF filter shut down, risking the longevity of your car. The DPF filter is not just a benefit. As a filter, it is an exhaust fumes stopping element. Turbine exhaust gas cannot flow freely through the exhaust. The turbine is subjected to longitudinal load which causes it to wear out and the longitudinal movement of the turbine axis increases over time. Gradually, lubricating oil penetrates the turbine shaft rings. This causes the soot filter to clog even faster and increases the load on the turbine shaft even further. Until the traction disappears, engine light comes on or smoke appears, you will not be aware of it. The worst problem is that in some cases the turbine malfunctions, when turning off the DPF/FAP system and mechanically removing the soot filter. Drivers often delay fixing this problem until turbine requires maintenance and the removal of DPF/FAP is a must. Higher costs can be avoided by removing the soot filter early.

It is possible to turn off DPF filters for these brands:

The autopilot does not stop working after we are done with programming - the DPF / FAP soot filter system is deactivated with just those bits that are solely responsible for the DPF / FAP soot filter system.
