It filters soot particles from the exhaust fumes of diesel engines. A blockage of this filter can cause several problems:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reduced performance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A clogged filter reduces the flow of exhaust gases, which will reduce the performance of the engine.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Higher fuel consumption:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the filter is clogged, the engine has to work harder to achieve the same performance. A clog can therefore lead to higher fuel consumption.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Engine failures:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Driving for too long with a clogged filter can cause problems to the engine, which in turn can lead to expensive repairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So a good and clean particulate filter is very important. But when should you clean your particulate filter?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to clean your particulate filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there are a lot of problems that can be caused by a clogged or dirty particulate filter. So it is important to clean it regularly. How and what varies per car, of course, but there are guidelines for this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Every 15,000 to 30,000 kilometres.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It depends on your driving style and the manufacturer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>With reduced engine performance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As soon as you notice your engine's performance declining, it could be a sign of a clogged particulate filter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Indicator light. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This sounds logical, but if the indicator light for the particulate filter is on, it is time to clean the filter.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, there are other indications that the particulate filter needs cleaning. These include reduced acceleration and black or grey smoke coming out of the exhaust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as you experience any of these, you would be wise to take immediate action. But how do I clean my particulate filter?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to clean your particulate filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are products on the market that make it easy to clean a particulate filter. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchperformanceproducts.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Dutch Performance Products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they offer various solutions to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dutchperformanceproducts.nl\/kennisbank\/auto\/roetfilter-reinigen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clean your particulate filter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
