Symptoms and problems An increasing loading of the particle filter without regular regeneration leads to a blockage of the component. The consequences are:
Loss of engine power
Increasing fuel consumption
Suboptimal throttle response
Application and effect Instead of replacing it, the particle filter is cleaned when it is installed:
The cleaning fluid dissolves the deposits on the component and
the neutralising solution ensures the complete removal of particles that are not transported away.
Result of the DPF cleaning The use of cleaning fluid and rinsing solution enables
a subsequent regeneration in which the soot deposits are burned to CO₂.
There is no additional burden on the environment.
The particle filter is fully functional again after cleaning.
