A Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system in many diesel cars and captures small soot particles so that they are not released into the atmosphere.
The DPF prevents black clouds of diesel smoke coming out the back of your car, which is good for the environment. Like any filter a DPF can become clogged over time, a fully blocked DPF will need removing and replacing; this can be an expensive procedure.
Government legislation was introduced in February 2014 stating that any diesel vehicle fitted from new with a DPF, will immediately fail an MOT test if the DPF unit has been tampered with or entirely removed and not replaced. It has been known for people to remove DPF filters themselves, but non-professional DPF replacement will almost certainly breach requirements under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations and the car will then be illegal for road use. We highly do not recommend anyone to remove their DPF filter and not replace it. If you are unsure how to replace a DPF filter than bring your vehicle to DPF solutions, having expert specialists replace your DPF at a high standard without the need to spend time doing it yourself.
When you are buying a used diesel car, make sure that the DPF has not been removed; MB Services do not want to land you with an expensive bill to get one reinstalled. If you have a blocked DPF and require DPF replacement it is essential that you get it done professionally. MB Services are a Bosch Service Centre, and as a diesel specialist, we have years of experience performing successful DPF replacement.
