Diesel Particulate Filters are one of the most misunderstood components of the modern diesel engine.
This one-hour training webinar was originally delivered live to Motor Trade Association Queensland members.
In this session, Clinton demonstrates how the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can be used as a diagnostic tool, helping to reduce the misdiagnosis of fault codes.
The course aims to debunk common misconceptions about DPF systems and reduce the unnecessary removal and replacement of emission control components. It is supported by real-world diagnostic methods and practical testing techniques used in the workshop.
Learn why repeated forced regenerations do not fix the root cause of DPF faults.
Avoid costly misdiagnosis and unnecessary DPF replacement by understanding the system correctly.
