In this article, we are going to talk about the DPF Removal, made by reprogramming the Engine Control Unit (ECU). First, we will explain what DPF means and what maintenance it needs. After that, we will discuss what are the best 5 benefits of that type of remapping, also called DPF off.

Ready? Let’s start!

What is a DPF?

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a filter that retains the particulate matter (PM) from the exhaust gases and prevents them from being released into the atmosphere. That way the emissions from diesel vehicles are reduced. This is very important especially for better and healthy city life. DPFs are required to meet the European emission standards for less CO2 and improving air quality. That is why almost every car we drive today has this filter.

 

What is DPF Regeneration?

Over time, the Diesel Particulate Filter becomes full and clogged with soot. That is why it should be emptied of trapped particulate matter regularly. That process is called DPF Regeneration. It involves burning the particulate matter at a very high temperature. The Regeneration reduces the harmful car emissions and prevents from the tell-tale black smoke of accelerating diesel vehicles.

But one of the main problems when it comes to regeneration is that those high temperatures it needs are unbearable for modern diesel cars to reach. As a result, the process is not properly done and it can result in serious damage to the car.

Another big problem of DPF maintenance concerns trucks and agriculture tractors. Their engines run much more than cars’ ones. In a result, their DPFs get clogged much faster and they need to be changed. But the DPFs for trucks and tractors are extremely expensive… So, DPF removal is a better and more affordable option.

That is the reason why so many diesel vehicle owners choose to have their DPFs deactivated from the Engine Control Unit, rather than have it removed physically.

 

5 Advantages of High-Quality Effective Tuning’s DPF Off

1. Increases Fuel Efficiency

Without the Diesel Particulate Filter, your vehicle would consume less fuel for the same distance as before remapping. So you could significantly increase your car’s fuel economy.

2. Improves the Overall Performance

By deactivating the DPF you could unlock the full potential of the engine and increase the overall performance of your vehicle. Not only that but also you could enjoy smoother acceleration and better drivability.

3. Longer service life

As a result of DPF removal, the wear and tear on the engine would be minimized. That, in turn, guarantees that the motor would have a longer service life.

4. Solves DPF blocking problems

When you remove the DPF, you would not have problems with the DPF blockages anymore. This will also reduce your car repair costs.

5. Not illegal & No limit for off-road use only

The physical removal of DPF is illegal under European law unless it is for off-road use only. If your vehicle misses a DPF, it would also fail an MOT. But the DPF removal reprogramming is not illegal, so you don’t have to worry about anything!
