Firstly, what is a DPF? DPF stands for “Diesel Particulate Filters”. The DPF is a filter that is fitted on Ford Transit Vans and its job is to grab carbon material like soot from being omitted into the atmosphere.

We are in an era that people’s health is of paramount importance. Vehicles are culprits in omitting harmful nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere that do not help people with respiratory diseases, this is why DPF filters are put in place to help the air quality in towns and cities.

If the DPF becomes damaged or blocked it will not work correctly, and your vehicle will omit harmful gases into the atmosphere. This means your vehicle will be breaking the law and the regulations set for the motor industry to follow.

Signs you have a DPF fault

The most obvious sign you have a DPF fault is when the DPF light displays on your dashboard. Other symptoms include the loss of power, the vehicle will have problems starting, you will also find the vehicle will be consuming more fuel that normal.

So, in the long run it would not be wise to keep driving your Ford Transit with a faulty DPF filter. One, you will be breaking the law, and two, it can cost you even more money in things like fuel consumption. These are reasons why you should get your Ford Transit booked in straight away.
