DPF Warning Lights, What you Need to Know

A diesel car will display a DPF warning light when there is a problem with the car’s diesel particulate filter. This filter reduces the amount of harmful soot emitted by the car and has been required, by law, to be fitted to all diesel cars since 2009.

A diesel car’s DPF can become blocked over time, causing a warning light to be displayed on the dashboard.

This needs to be addressed, as it reduces the amount of airflow the car has to expel exhaust gasses from the engine, which can cause a loss in power and eventually, other significant engine problems

Can you Ignore a DPF Warning Light?

This depends on how significant the blockage is. The first thing you should do is take the car for a decent run along the motorway, this extended period of driving will heat up the temperature of the DPF and burn off some of the soot buildups. However, this is not the most reliable, or convenient method of cleaning the DPF and is not always effective, depending on how bad the blockage inside the DPF is.

However, this is not recommended, sometimes if you continue driving the soot might continue to build up, causing a fire hazard and will make the car to enter “limp mode”. Also, you cannot pass an MOT with a DPF warning light displaying on the dashboard, so make sure you address it as soon as possible.

If the light does not go off, or other warning lights appear, do not continue to drive the car.
