We are now offering full DPF removal for any vehicle (cars and light commercials), and all DPF canisters are left in a factory condition with all sensors intact to ensure everything is above board to pass future MOT tests.
Diesel particle filters (DPF's) are designed to filter large particles of soot from the exhaust system of most modern day diesel vehicles by trapping the participles for a short period of time. After so many miles (approx 3-500 miles), the vehicle will go into "regen" where it tries to regenerate itself by injecting diesel into each cylinder while its exhaust valves are open. The idea is to heat the exhaust gases up to a much higher temperature and in turn burn the soot participles; effectively storing the soot particles for a while which would normally be released gradually, then dispensing of them all in one go.
What commonly happens is that the regen isn't strong enough to clear the DPF filter itself, and after a few regens the excess diesel adds to the stores soot, creating more of a blockage. When the ECU takes it readings and detects that the DPF is blocked and the regen isn't successful, the car will be forced into limp mode.
Another problem with a partially blocked DPF system is that the heat from the engine can not escape, which then causes the heat to remain in the turbo and manifold causing more very costly repairs, and in the worst case scenario, a new engine.
If you have any queries or want any more info regarding DPF removal, feel free to PM me or ask in this thread.
Cheers
