What Is a DPF Filter?

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is an emissions control system designed to reduce harmful particulate emissions from diesel engines. While it is an important environmental measure, DPF filters often cause problems for vehicle owners.

Main DPF Issues

  • Clogging - Short city drives prevent the filter from regenerating properly.

  • Expensive Repairs - The cost of a new DPF filter can reach 1000-2000 euros.

  • Power Reduction - A clogged filter decreases engine power.

  • Increased Fuel Consumption - The regeneration process consumes additional fuel.

Benefits of DPF Deactivation

Professional DPF deactivation in Vilnius can provide the following benefits:

  1. Reliability - No more worries about clogging.

  2. Economy - Save on fuel and repair costs.

  3. Power - The engine operates more efficiently without restrictions.

  4. Longevity - Less strain on the engine.

How Does DPF Deactivation Work?

The professional DPF deactivation process involves several stages:

1. Diagnostics

First, a computer diagnostic is performed to assess the condition of the DPF and any other potential issues.

2. Software Deactivation

We modify the ECU software so that the system no longer recognizes the DPF filter and does not attempt to regenerate it.

3. Physical Removal (Optional)

We can physically remove the DPF filter or clean its interior while leaving the casing in place.

4. Testing

After the procedure, we conduct a test drive and re-diagnosis.

Is It Legal?

In Lithuania, DPF deactivation is in a gray area. It's important to know:

  • The technical inspection does not check for the software presence of the DPF.

  • The emissions test must meet the standards.

  • We recommend leaving the casing in place.
