DPF/FAP FILTER RECONDITIONING

A diesel particulate filter (DPF/FAP) is a key component of the exhaust system in modern diesel vehicles. Its main function is to capture and trap soot particles produced during fuel combustion. The widespread introduction of DPF and FAP filters began in 2006 following the stricter EURO 4 emission standards.

• DPF (Dry Particulate Filter): Dry filters where soot is burned off at around 600°C.
• FAP (Filtre à Particules): Wet filters that use a special fuel additive to lower the soot ignition temperature.

Although highly effective, diesel particulate filters can eventually clog due to accumulated contaminants. Symptoms of a clogged filter include:

• Increased engine idle speed.
• More intensive fan operation.
• Loss of engine power.
• Increased fuel consumption.
• Activation of limp mode.
• Frequent regeneration attempts during driving.
• Rising engine oil level.

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to serious engine or turbocharger damage, issues with passing technical inspections, and potential fines.

Buying a new particulate filter can cost several thousand pounds. An effective alternative is reconditioning, which is significantly more affordable and just as efficient. Removing the filter is not only illegal but also harmful to the environment. The cost of professional DPF/FAP reconditioning is comparable to illegal removal. Thanks to our services, your particulate filter will perform like new.

Important: Road traffic laws regarding particulate filters are becoming stricter — a vehicle without a DPF/FAP may fail its annual inspection.

DPF/FAP reconditioning at VAG-Expert involves thorough cleaning of the filter to remove soot, ash, PM10 particles, and other contaminants. We remove up to 98.5% of deposits, restoring the filter’s full functionality. We use an advanced machine from the Swiss company FF Solution, ensuring maximum cleaning effectiveness and safety.

We recondition DPF and FAP filters for both passenger cars and trucks.
