A clogged DPF can cause a lot of headaches and adversely affect the performance of the car. Therefore, a lot of people come to us to have their DPF removed as this is a definitive solution compared to the cleaning or replacement of a DPF filter. Since prevention is better than cure many people come to us before they have DPF problems. But even when problems pop up and your car gives malfunctions, drives unpleasant, is defective, ... we can help you and repair your car.

This BMW E90 320d came to us with an check engine light and reduced engine performance. After we gave the car a thorough check we could result that the DPF was clogged. If the car would have kept on driving with a clogged DPF it could cause damage to the turbo or even serious engine failure.

We removed the DPF from under the car and emptied it. We then neatly welded it and reinstalled it in its original place. The software was adjusted so it can never give another fault code regarding the DPF. The EGR valve was also closed via the software. The ECU also got a KCPerformance Stage 2 Chiptuning in order to bring the power from 163 PK and 340 Nm to 212 HP & 440 Nm.

When the owner came to pick his car up he was impressed by how good the car now picks up on the highway and how fuel efficient it had become. The headaches which he had before coming to KCPerformance were now completely forgotten.
