What to do to fix DPF problems on Nissan Qashqai?
Years 2014-2022

Answer

On Nissan Qashqai with diesel engines, but as well as on other cars, sooner or later it is not difficult to encounter problems with the particulate filter. This happens when the car mainly travels short and above all urban distances. In fact, when possible, it would be good to use the car on extra-urban journeys, possibly on the motorway, keeping the engine revs relatively high for at least 15/20 minutes. This would facilitate filter cleaning to avoid the "forced regeneration" procedure to be carried out in the workshop and which often also requires changing the oil and filters.
