Understanding the Ford Transit (2014 to present) DPF Fault

Are you experiencing issues with your Ford Transit's Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)? Since its release in 2014, many Ford Transit models have encountered DPF faults which can lead to reduced performance and increased maintenance costs. Drawing from my 15 years as a master tech mechanic, I'll break down this common problem, its causes, symptoms, and the optimal repair strategies.

What Causes a DPF Fault in a Ford Transit?

The DPF system is designed to capture and store exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel engines. However, the fault can occur due to several reasons:

- Short driving trips: Frequent short trips prevent the DPF from reaching the temperature required for the automatic regeneration process.

- Low-quality fuel: Using fuel with high sulfur content can clog the DPF more rapidly.

- Sensor malfunctions: A faulty sensor can inhibit the ability to accurately monitor soot levels.

Symptoms of a DPF Fault

Identifying a Ford Transit DPF fault early can save you time and expense. You might notice:

- Decreased fuel efficiency.

- Reduced engine performance.

- Frequent warning lights on the dashboard indicating DPF issues.

- An increase in diesel exhaust smell.

Repair Process for DPF Faults

Addressing a DPF fault typically involves a few key steps:

- Diagnostic assessment using specialized tools to determine the exact cause.

- Manual or forced regeneration, if the DPF is clogged but not damaged.

- Replacement of faulty sensors or the entire DPF unit in cases of severe blockage or damage.

This repair process can be costly and time-consuming, and sometimes even repetitive if the underlying issues are not comprehensively addressed.

Is it better to trade in my van or sell my van online?

By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.

This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.

Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.

However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.

Can I sell my van with no V5 Logbook?

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
