Dealing with a DPF fault in your Ford Transit Courier can be a challenging issue. As a seasoned master tech mechanic with extensive experience over the past 15 years, I have seen many such issues and understand the complexities involved. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) plays a crucial role in reducing emissions by trapping soot from the exhaust, but when something goes wrong, it affects the performance and efficiency of your vehicle.
A DPF fault in the Ford Transit Courier typically manifests through several common symptoms. You may notice a decrease in engine performance, increased fuel consumption, or a persistent warning light on the dashboard. The root causes often include frequent short trips where the engine doesn't reach optimal operating temperature, or a build-up of soot due to poor servicing. This could lead to the DPF not regenerating as required, which is necessary to burn off the accumulated soot.
Addressing a DPF fault involves a couple of steps which might include manual regeneration, cleaning, or in some severe cases, replacing the DPF completely. Manual regeneration is a process which can often be initiated by a diagnostic tool, essentially forcing the DPF to burn off soot at a high temperature. If the filter is beyond salvageable, replacing it can be pricey, sometimes making it uneconomical depending on the age and condition of the vehicle.
The cost of repair and the downtime associated with fixing a DPF fault can be significant. Have you considered whether maintaining an older model like your Ford Transit Courier is the most economical choice? Perhaps you might find it more beneficial to explore newer models with updated, more efficient systems. This is where Vandervan comes into play.

If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.

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.

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.
