Mitsubishi ASX Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 1 (I) (2010-2023)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in Mitsubishi ASX Diesel vehicles, including models 1.6 DI-D 114 hp (code 9HD) and 1.8 DI-D 116/150 hp (code 4N13), captures fine particulate matter from exhaust gases. This is crucial for meeting pollution control regulations by trapping soot particles emitted during combustion.

Common symptoms of a clogged DPF include:

• Illuminated engine or DPF warning light on the dashboard.
• Reduced engine power due to obstructed exhaust flow.
• Increased fuel consumption from additional fuel injection during regeneration attempts.
• Higher pollution emissions and degraded vehicle performance if the issue is untreated.

These issues often arise when the vehicle is primarily used for short urban trips that prevent the exhaust temperature from reaching the levels required to burn off accumulated soot effectively.

DPF regeneration is a process where accumulated soot inside the filter is burned off to restore normal filter function. There are three types of regeneration:

• Passive Regeneration: Occurs automatically during driving at sustained speeds (roughly 90 km/h for 15-20 minutes) where exhaust temperature rises enough to burn soot.
• Forced Regeneration: Performed using a diagnostic tool when soot load exceeds 40-50 grams, triggering the engine to burn off the soot under controlled conditions.
• Chemical Cleaning: Using DPF cleaners or fuel additives (such as DPF Cleaner aerosol or fuel additives like Cody Mille or C99) that help dissolve soot and ash remnants. This must be followed by engine idle at 2000-2500 rpm and driving to purge residues.

Regular regeneration is essential to prevent clogging, ensure optimal engine performance, reduce fuel overconsumption, and limit pollution.

To maintain your DPF effectively, follow these recommendations:

• Avoid frequent short trips that prevent the engine from reaching optimal temperature.
• Drive at highway speeds (around 90 km/h for 15-20 minutes) regularly to enable passive regeneration.
• Use recommended DPF cleaning additives with every fuel refill to prevent soot accumulation.
• Perform forced regeneration with diagnostic tools when indicated by the vehicle's system.
• Avoid dismantling the DPF if gas leaks into the engine bay are suspected, as this may cause corrosion.

If the DPF becomes severely clogged (soot load above 50 g), replacement is advised to avoid permanent damage and ensure compliance with emission standards.

To check DPF-related problems on your Mitsubishi ASX Diesel, look for the following:

• Dashboard warning lights or error messages indicating the DPF system status.
• Reduced engine power and performance drops.
• Increased fuel consumption and visible black smoke emissions.
• Diagnostic reading of soot load using a professional OBD2 or diagnostic scanner tool, especially if soot exceeds 40-50 grams.

If issues are detected, perform a forced regeneration or chemical cleaning as described, or consult a professional mechanic for further evaluation.
