This X5 came into us with its DPF light on and suffering from reduced performance. With an exhaust back pressure reading of 136m/bar it needed some urgent attention!
Our assessment process found that all components of the emissions system were fully functioning, so this time consistent short journies were to blame for the blockage.
After our 3 stage DPF cleaning process and a few resets, the pressure was reduced to normal levels and an extended test drive confirmed that he vehicle was happy to start regenerating by itself.
We advised the customer on how to keep the DPF healthy in future and sent them on their way, having saved them mega bucks against the cost of a replacement filter.
