Toyota DPF problems

If you’re the owner of a Toyota with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), you’ve probably experienced first-hand some of the issues associated with the less-than-impressive DPF system.

Cost Effective Maintenance has helped many Toyota Hilux owners with out-of-warranty vehicles rectify their DPF issues using FTC Decarbonizer — which fixes Toyota DPF problems by tackling the root cause.

Adding FTC Decarbonizer to your diesel will safely remove soot and carbon from exhaust areas, fixing DPF regenerating problems.

Toyota DPF Problems Fixed

Toyota advise they have a free fix (an ECM upgrade, smoke tests, and replacing faulty filters), but by some accounts this has not been satisfactory. Yet there are real-life, proven after-market solutions that do work, are perfectly legal, and don’t affect your Toyota warranty. The preferred approach is always to address the root cause — which in this case is the production of excessive soot.

For drivers doing long highway runs this isn’t such a big problem, because the fuel burns cleaner. But for Toyota owners stuck in traffic under normal urban conditions, the DPF will continue to have burn-offs.

With many of these Toyotas coming to the end of their warranty period, it’s time to find a real fix and avoid paying thousands of dollars for a replacement DPF filter.

How to Avoid Toyota DPF Problems

Step 1: Add FTC Decarbonizer to the diesel (a double dose for the first two tanks).

Step 2: FTC Decarbonizer can then be used routinely to keep the DPF soot-free.

Results after using FTC Decarbonizer:

• Carbon and soot levels minimised
• DPF regenerations dramatically reduced
• Toyota DPF problems fixed
• Fuel economy restored

Adding a combustion enhancer and decarboniser such as FTC Decarbonizer to the diesel forces the fuel to burn cleaner under all operating conditions, and actively burns off carbon at cooler temperatures. The FTC is easily added to the diesel when refuelling.
