When installing
the pipe FAP DPF: - If generation doesn't function
properly it leads to a build up of soot affecting performance and fuel
economy,left unattended this will result in a blocked DPF which can ultimate
cause very expensive damage to other engine components. -A blocked DPF is also
potentially dangerous as it can cause overheating in the exhaust system and
cause a fire risk.
- To prevent this damage most
never vehicles will go into Limp Home safety mode at this stage,meaning the
vehicle will have minimum power barely sufficient to crawl home.
-For regeneration to take place
it requires the vehicle to be driven regularly at some speed on open roads
,motorway driving,typically around 2500 RPM for appox 30 min at least once a
month, this will keep things working.
-However , many diesel vehicle
does not get the chance to heat up sufficiently and is unable to carry out a
full regeneration process.
-Even if the regeneration
functions as it should, over time the Ash Residue will build up the DPF and
have the same affect ultimately resulting in a blocked DPF. -For this reason a DPF is
classified as a Serviceable Item by the vehicle manufacturers like brake pads
or air filters etc. and not covered under warranty. -DPF systems therefore need to
be maintained properly. -In the FUTURE you can bring
back the car at its original shape installing the original filter that has not
been destroyed.

| Remember,is necessary to remap the ECU after removing the filter! |
