Diesel particulate filters are undoubtedly an excellent achievement. Installed in every new vehicle since 2004, such a filter not only makes a significant contribution to environmental protection, but is also a useful little helper when it comes to health. Because the particles contained in the soot are generally considered to be unhealthy. However, particle filters tend to gradually become clogged with deposits. Such a filter cleans itself during long motorway journeys. However, when driving short distances, the necessary high temperatures in the exhaust gases are not reached in order to burn off the deposits. Result: the fine-pored filter becomes more and more clogged. If a certain volume is reached, the engine still starts, but runs bumpy and uneven. At the same time, engine performance decreases significantly. In modern vehicles, a display usually provides information about the current status. Now only a professional can help.
regenerate rather than replace

However, extreme short-distance drivers can also be hit at 30.000 kilometers. Similar to changing the timing belt, some car manufacturers also recommend replacing it after a certain point Mileage. And such a replacement filter can leave a deep hole in your wallet: depending on the year and model, between 1000 and 4000 €, including installation and removal.

Alternatively, the vehicle can be taken to the workshop for filter removal. The filter is then precisely weighed, prepared, burned out and cleaned. The details of the specially developed process remain a closely guarded company secret.

The before and after weighing provides information about the exact amount of soot deposits removed and thus a tangible value for the customer and the workshop.
