Nissan DPF Removal & Remapping with ECUFLASH
What Is the DPF?
If you have a NISSAN with a diesel engine, your car is likely to have a particulate filter which is fitted within the exhaust system. Many kinds of vehicles have had them fitted since 2001, including all diesel-engine cars, vans and trucks. The particulate filter is there to capture soot particles, turning them into ash before they can be released into the atmosphere, causing environmental harm. With this being the case, you might ask yourself why you would want NISSAN DPF remapping at all.
What the DPF in your NISSAN is supposed to do is regenerate which is a method of automatic cleaning of the filter, what happens is the soot is burned at a very high temperature leaving a residue in the dpf which is then cleared out of the exhaust system. The issue with this is that the if your nissan is driven at slow speeds often for instance if you live in a built up are or drive in traffic a lot then the filter won’t be getting cleared out as you aren’t going fast enough. This then means the dpf gets clogged up and the engine will begin to become sluggish and have less mpg.
Nissan particle filter warning Problems with DPF Although a DPF is beneficial to the environment, this advantage comes at a price. By its very nature, the filter will eventually clog up and need to be replaced, and this is not a cheap affair. You might ask yourself whether replacing the filter is actually necessary; crucially, if you don’t replace it, it could cause a blockage of the exhaust system. In turn, this could place pressure on your exhaust, costing you even more in the long run. Also the clogging up of your DPF could also lead to certain parts of your engine largely overheating which in turn can lead to your NISSAN being at risk of fire.
Furthermore, the extra burden of a DPF on your exhaust system reduces your fuel mileage, making your journey less efficient. The question of whether the inclusion of a DPF in your diesel NISSAN is beneficial is therefore a legitimate one. The third issue with a DPF is that cars are already expensive to run and maintain. A major problem like a DPF clog could be financially crippling, so having a NISSAN DPF remapping has the potential to keep money in your pocket for longer. Your dpf is considered by NISSAN as a serviceable item for example like air filters and brake pads etc.
Which means that it is not covered under warranty when it goes faulty so they expect you to maintain the health of your dpf and stop it from clogging up. The other method of maintaining your dpf is to just remove the dpf all together meaning you don’t need to worry about maintaining the dpf and you will save money by doing it. NISSAN DPF Removal
