Diesel Particulate Filter
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) indicator signifies your vehicle’s DPF filter hasn’t been cleaned and will require a manual / static regeneration to be carried out. Once this light is illuminated it is advisable to have the procedure carried out as soon as possible to avoid long term and possibly expensive damage to the filter. A replacement filter can cost up to €2000, but here at Michael O’Leary’s Garage we can carry out static regenerations for a small fraction of the price you might be charged elsewhere.
What if I Don’t have the PDF Regenerated?
Failure to have the regeneration completed at the earliest convenience could render the filter itself beyond repair and require complete replacement. A DPF that reaches 90% or approx. 45 grams full will be beyond regeneration and require complete replacement.
