  • Auris

    The Toyota Auris Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a critical component in reducing harmful diesel emissions and maintaining engine performance. Positioned just after the catalytic converter in the exhaust system, the DPF is made from high-resistance ceramic designed to trap soot particles generated during diesel combustion. These particles consist of carbon cores with attached hydrocarbons, sulfates, sulfur, and metal oxides, which the filter captures to prevent them from polluting the atmosphere.

    The DPF operates through two regeneration processes: passive regeneration, where trapped soot burns off at exhaust temperatures of 550 to 600°C during normal driving at higher loads; and active regeneration, involving fuel injection into the exhaust to raise the filter's temperature to about 450°C, aided by special fuel additives. Over time, residual ash accumulates in the filter, which is a normal part of its lifecycle but may eventually cause blockages.

    Signs of a clogged DPF include warning lights on the dashboard, reduced engine power, and increased fuel consumption. Maintenance options range from forced regeneration via diagnostic tools to chemical cleaning treatments designed to restore efficiency. In severe cases, replacement of the DPF is necessary. Proper care, such as regular highway driving and using quality fuel with additives, helps extend the DPF’s life and ensures compliance with emission standards for Toyota Auris models.
