Ford Ranger Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 3 (Iii) (2012-2022)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) fitted on Ford Ranger 3 diesel models is designed to capture and reduce harmful soot emissions from the exhaust gases. It is essential for meeting Euro 5 and some Euro 6 emissions standards, helping the vehicle comply with European antipollution regulations and ensuring clean engine exhaust.

The DPF is compatible with the main diesel engines used in the Ford Ranger 3 generation:

• 3.2 TDCi with 147 kW / 200 HP (engine codes SAFA, SA2R)
• 2.2 TDCi 16V engines available in 120, 125, and 150 HP variants (engine codes GBVAJPF, GBVAJQW, GBVAJQJ)

This compatibility covers vehicles manufactured roughly between 2011 and 2015 or early 2016 depending on the exact engine model.

DPF regeneration is the process where accumulated soot inside the filter is burned off at high temperature to clean the filter and restore its efficiency.

• Usually triggered automatically by the engine control unit after certain driving conditions.
• To manually encourage regeneration while driving, it is recommended to maintain a steady engine speed at highway driving conditions for a period typically around 15 to 30 minutes.
• This helps the DPF reach the necessary temperature to burn off soot particles.

Regular long drives at consistent speeds are advised to maintain DPF cleanliness.

Regeneration significantly reduces soot deposits by burning off the accumulated particulate matter, but it may not always clean "all" soot completely. Some residue and ash from burnt particles remain and accumulate over time.

• Occasional manual cleaning or professional maintenance might be necessary if soot or ash buildup impairs performance.
• Use of specific DPF cleaning additives and liquids can also help in supporting regeneration.

The time for the DPF to fill up again with soot depends on driving style and conditions, but generally:

• Short trips and stop-and-go traffic cause quicker soot accumulation.
• Longer, steady drives reduce soot buildup and extend the time between regenerations.
• Regular regeneration cycles, both automatic and manual, help maintain proper filter function.

Monitoring dashboard warning lights for DPF status is important to prevent clogging issues and potential engine damage.

The Ford Ranger 3 DPF features high-quality construction with the following main specifications:

• Weight: Approximately 5.5 kg
• Length: 1300 mm for 3.2 TDCi version, 1100 mm for 2.2 TDCi version
• Contains a monolith impregnated with precious metals to ensure efficient soot filtration
• Mounted under the vehicle seat for optimal exhaust flow integration

These filters meet European Euro 5 and in some cases Euro 6 emissions standards.

Maintaining the DPF’s efficiency requires regular care, including:

• Driving mostly long distances at regular engine speeds to enable natural regeneration
• Using specific DPF cleaning products and liquid additives to assist regeneration
• Performing routine exhaust system inspections and maintenance
• Reacting promptly to any dashboard lights indicating DPF issues

Proper maintenance extends the DPF lifespan and prevents engine or exhaust system damage.
