Posted June 20, 2013. The dpf can be purged with a chemical bath which costs about £300 over here. I would suggest using good quality diesel and low ash oil. I don't know what local conditions are applied to the warranty in your country but it is worth writing to Toyota. Quote. On one hand, we need to have enough data points to make a meaningful deduction and on the other hand, we need to exclude very new cars that might skew the survey as they have very little chance of hitting DPF problems in that short time. Non-exhaustive list of Team-BHP threads/posts about DPF: Link 1; Link 2; Link 3; Link 4; Link 5 If MOT testers are letting cars pass with the DPF removed then they probably letting other defects through for a backhander. Any MOT tester caught doing this should not be allowed to test cars again, a 2 year ban is not enough. This article also highlights the fact that a DPF will fail if a diesel car is only driven on short journeys. Tue 1 Jun 2010 19:22. Buying a diesel car - DPF problems - Andy P. If you spend more than 15 minutes on a motorway then the DFP shouldn't be a problem. As long as the engine reaches 2000rpm for 15 minutes on a regular basis then the DPF won't clog up and need to go through a regeneration cycle. DPF, a.k.a., Diesel Particulate Filter is a filter that is devised to get rid of particulate or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. It seizes and collects exhaust soot to diminish the emissions from diesel cars. It was introduced in 2009 to restrict soot, or particulate matter, from entering the atmosphere. The DPF warnings on BS6 Diesel Vehicles can be cleared within 30minutes, by taking the vehicle out on an open road/highway and 'Stepping-On-It'. There are loads of videos out there, where people have demonstrated the same, on multiple diesel cars. Secondly, in several vehicles, like Creta, XUV300, Crysta etc. there are ways to initiate the DPF Problem with the Mazda DPF implementation on the first gen 6 seems to be that it needs to get really quite hot in order for the catalyst reactions to function. Problem being that to reach this temperature seems to involve driving for "significant" periods of time within a rather narrow band of optimum engine performance. Basically, there are three solutions available to fix Toyota Hilux DPF issues. I will go through each one; Option 1: Regeneration – This is probably the cheapest solution. A mechanic with an advanced diagnostic tool can put the vehicle into a regeneration mode for the car to clear soot by itself. The problem with this solution is that it can .
