The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a part of the exhaust system that clogs over time, especially during city driving. A clogged DPF leads to a loss of power, increased oil and fuel consumption, and frequent regenerations.
What We Do
First, diagnostics: we check backpressure, the regeneration counter, and the catalytic converter's condition. If the filter has been physically removed or you plan to remove it, we perform a software emissions delete and properly reprogram the ECU:
- disable DPF monitoring and regeneration
- clear DPF-related fault codes
- adjust injection maps
Why Proper Tuning Matters
Simply "cutting out" the filter is not enough: the ECU will continue attempting regeneration and will eventually enter limp mode. Software deletion must be carried out hand-in-hand with physical removal.
