Diesel particulate filter replacement for Kia in Yoav

Diesel particulate filter replacement

The diesel particulate filter must be replaced when it is “clogged”. The following signs indicate that the particulate filter is defective: unstable engine idling, a drop in engine power while driving, increased fuel consumption, oil level increase and malfunction signals coming from an on-board computer. The modern cars have a filter cleaning function that does not prevent the filter from clogging after a certain mileage, in which case, such a filter can be washed using special equipment. If washing does not help, the filter is replaced with a new one. Depending on the model, the filter is changed in different ways, but, as a rule, it is required to remove the engine casing, the microfilter housing, the unit protection panel, and the filter mounts. The installation of the filter is carried out in the reverse order.
