Ford Tourneo Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on Ford Tourneo models (including Tourneo Connect, Grand Tourneo Connect, and Tourneo Courier) is an anti-pollution component designed to trap soot particles from the diesel engine exhaust gases (such as the 1.5 TDCi 120 hp or 1.8 TDCi 90 hp engines). It significantly reduces harmful emissions before the gases exit the exhaust system.

The DPF traps soot particles in a porous honeycomb structure and burns them off during a regeneration process which takes place at high temperatures (450-550°C, reduced to about 450°C with fuel additives). This process leaves only residual ash inside the filter.

• Automatic regeneration: Activates between 40-50 g of soot without driver intervention, managed by the vehicle's anti-pollution system.
• Forced regeneration: Initiated via diagnostic tools when soot exceeds 50 g and automatic regeneration is insufficient. This generates high exhaust temperatures and heat.
• Additives: Fuel additives, such as Cody Mille or C99, lower the combustion temperature, help clean the fuel injection system, and reduce filter clogging.

This regeneration is essential to keep the DPF functioning efficiently and to maintain engine performance.

Signs that your Ford Tourneo's DPF is clogged include :

• Illumination of the engine or DPF warning light on the dashboard.
• Reduced engine power due to blocked exhaust gases.
• Soot level exceeding 50 g, leading to ineffective regenerations and potential severe clogging.

If these symptoms appear, it is important to address them promptly to avoid further damage.

Proper maintenance includes :

• Chemical cleaning: Use aerosol products (400 ml) or fuel additives specifically designed for DPF cleaning. Apply, let act, idle the engine, perform light accelerations, then drive to expel soot and ashes. Avoid opening the exhaust system to prevent gas or product contamination of pressure sensors.
• Diagnostic maintenance regenerations: Triggered via diagnostic tools with options like "GO" to start filter cleaning cycles.
• Regular emptying: The vehicle periodically performs automatic regenerations to keep the filter effective.
• Replacement: Recommended if clogging is extreme. Detailed guides exist for DPF replacement on models such as the Tourneo Courier.

Follow these practices to ensure optimal DPF operation and avoid costly repairs.

Precautions include :

• Drive the vehicle after cleaning to remove residual cleaning products and prevent sensor contamination.
• Use fuel additives regularly, especially in areas with poor fuel quality.
• High temperatures develop during regeneration; avoid parking near flammable materials during this process.

These steps help maintain DPF durability and vehicle safety.
