The Start of a Range Rover DPF Issue
1. DPF or COIL Light Showing
A prominent and unmistakable sign of a Blocked DPF is the illumination of a dashboard warning light. Witnessing the DPF light or coil light appearing can be quite worrying, but there’s no need to panic. In such instances, please contact us immediately, and we will offer you the best solution.
Most vehicles are equipped with delicate sensors that monitor the vehicle’s performance. When these sensors detect abnormal readings, they communicate with the car’s ECU (computer). If the readings deviate from the correct values, a warning light will appear on your dashboard.
2. Limp Mode
This is what happens if you ignore the DPF warning light for a period of time, when you ignore the light the DPF will continue to get more blocked, so the limp mode will activate to prevent extensive damage and allow you to travel short distances safely. When your vehicle goes in limp mode your performance will decrease, usually limiting you to a certain amount of revs to protect the vehicle.
3. Reduced Fuel Economy
Another indicator that your vehicle is not running as it should will be a decrease in fuel economy. Once the ECU detects that there is a build up of soot starting in your DPF the vehicle will often over fuel as an attempt to raise exhaust temperatures and allow the DPF to regenerate and clear its self.
Just by keeping an eye on your average fuel consumption through the cars digital dash should give you an idea on how the vehicle is performing, if there is an unusual drop when performing similar driving it could be a sign that there could be blockages starting to build up within your DPF.
