DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter. The name tells it all, this is a filter installed in the exhaust system that filters soot and other particulates from engine exhaust. Diesel Particulate Filter is an advanced emission control system in vehicles with diesel engines. DPF is controlled by the engine E.C.U and when D.P.F is filled up by particulate matter, regeneration is required to clean and to allow smooth running of the engine. When regeneration fail to take place after few stages (which are communicated to the driver through D.P.F warning light and engine light), engine E.C.U will switch to SAFE MODE which will kill engine power and restrict the engine to run up to 2,000 rpm. At this point it will be difficult to drive the vehicle without repairing the D.P.F system.

Regardless of how effective your vehicle’s regeneration cycle is, all DPFs will eventually need to be deep-cleaned (which requires your vehicle to be off the road for several days) or replaced all together. A replacement part can run you hundreds of thousands kshs depending on your vehicle, and that doesn’t include labour costs.

What does a DPF delete kit do?

A DPF delete removes a vehicle’s DPF and configures the computer system to function without it. While there are an endless number of kits available, there are two main components to any DPF delete: the exhaust and the tuner. The exhaust is used to physically replace the DPF, while the tuner disables the vehicle’s regeneration mode and ensures that no other engine codes come up in the E.C.U.

After installing a DPF delete kit, you’ll notice significantly increased horsepower and fuel economy. As an added bonus, you’ll add at least a few extra years onto your vehicle’s life.
