DPF / FAP Filter Removal
Are you having problems with your DPF (Diesel particulate filter)?
Sick of poor MPG when the DPF is regenerating?
Want to remove the DPF from your vehicle?
Then you have come to the right place, we can alter the software in the ECU (Engine Control Unit) so that the DPF can be removed from the vehicle without logging any future error codes or attempting any future regenerations.
Most vehicles fitted with a DPF will need to have the filter replaced at some point as part of the service schedule if it hasn’t become overloaded in the meantime, this can be very expensive for instance BMW 3.0D £1297.52! Or a Mazda Turbo Diesel DPF filter costing nearly £1500 plus the potential cost of replacing damaged pressure sensors, amounting to an additional £900 plus vat!!
The DPF is not a legal requirement or is it needed for the MOT test so the most cost effective solution is to remove the DPF from the exhaust system and deactivate the DPF functions from the ECU.
Benefits of DPF Removal:
- Increased MPG•Better Performance
- Improved Performance
- Avoid Expensive Repair Costs
What is the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)?
Most diesel passenger cars, vans and commercial vehicles, built after 2006 have a DPF (diesel particulate filter) installed in the exhaust system. Some vehicles like Peugeot, Citroen & Fiat have had them fitted since 2001. This is a filter designed to reduce the soot particles created from engine combustion from entering the atmosphere.
What does it do?
The diesel particle filter removes polluting chemicals that result from diesel combustion before these particles of polluting matter reach the tailpipe and enter the atmosphere. It works similar to a catalytic converter by trapping and re-heating pollution.
Eventually all DPF filters will clog up at some time. Most manufacturers will swear this will be a long time, but since the technology is so new we will only find out through time how long they last. They are not cheap to replace and this has a lot of diesel aficionados worried.
The Affect of Diesel Particle Filters or DPF on Fuel Economy?
The diesel particle filter itself creates an obstruction in the exhaust system. Combine this with the diesel catalytic converter and you have created several pounds per square inch of blockage on your exhaust pipe.
Since adding the DPF to the exhaust system does result in a loss of fuel mileage, many wonder why the government made this technology a requirement when it is not even used in most parts of the world. Now that diesel sold in the U.K is all ultra low sulphur there is not as much pollutant matter given off by diesel engines.
How We Carry Out The DPF REMOVAL & How This Helps You!!!
We can reprogram your vehicles engine management system and disable the DPF function so you will not have any warning lights appear on the dash, or the engine go into LIMP mode.
With our Response chip software installed in the engine management system and the DPF brick removed you will have a better, free flowing exhaust system which will deliver more power, better fuel consumption and NO DPF clogging problems or warning lights ever again!!!
Some companies are now offering DPF Removal services using cracked software and in some cases are not even removing the DPF element from the exhaust system! Some are not even accessing the software and are merely fitting cheap Emulators that fool the ECU into thinking the DPF filter is NOT blocked. This will result in various mechanical faults e.g. turbos failing etc.
In recent years, automotive systems have advanced significantly and tasks which were once simple to do on your own, have become a job only for the experts. Such is the task of removing a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) from your exhaust system.
So what´s is involved in DPF removal? It’s a two part process starting with some hardware removal ?
First of all, the DPF hardware, in particular the contents of the filter known as a “brick” needs to be removed from the exhaust system and this can be achieved via two methods;
- a replacement pipe can be fitted (only available on some vehicles) or
- the current DPF pipe can be modified by removing the DPF brick from the inside. Both of these methods are permanent and tested.

Now that the DPF is gone, we have to disable the DPF function in the vehicles ECU
The vehicles operating software needs to be removed/disabled from the ECU of the vehicle so that the active and passive regeneration cycles, and any other DPF functions are no longer in operation. This can be done via removing the ECU and programming it on the bench, via OBD programming and sometimes by fitting specialist devices to the
vehicle. In most cases this also incorporates a sophisticated remap resulting in substantial gains in bhp, torque & economy.
Previous problems
- If you have had previous problems with the DPF on your car, then complete removal of the DPF will eliminate these problems.
- More power & torque
- The DPF is a large obstruction in the exhaust system of your car and removing it can release more power and torque.
- More fuel economy.
- The DPF is a large obstruction in the exhaust system of your car and removing it can increase fuel economy by up to 20%.
Prevent future problems.
The DPF is a complex system and removing the DPF from your car can help prevent problems in the future.
Avoid expensive repairs. DPFs often cost in the region of £1,500 to replace and some in excess of £3000
when additional items are considered such as replacement sensors, e.g. Lamda sensor £404 plus vat Mazda, Temperature sensor £435 plus each….3 on a Mazda turbo diesel !!!) labour and ECU re-programming. Choosing to
completely remove the DPF system from your car can save you money and simply makes sense, and will not effect your MOT.
