Warning Signs of a Blocked DPF
A blocked DPF can cause a number of noticeable issues with your vehicle.

You may also notice higher fuel consumption, the engine going into limp mode, or a strong smell of diesel. Ignoring these signs can lead to costly repairs—if you notice any of them, it’s time to get your DPF checked.
