What to do if the DPF warning light comes on in a Mini Cooper D

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Warning light – error code

In this video, we see how to behave if the DPF warning light comes on in your Mini Cooper Diesel: this light comes on when the diesel particulate filter is clogged, which happens when you have been driving in the city, where the DPF cannot regenerate. In this case, the best thing to do is to drive on a clear stretch of road at about 56 miles per hour, maintaining a constant speed and staying above 2,500 RPM, always remaining in fourth gear, so that the filter can clear its impurities by itself, initiating regeneration. You will need to drive at least 30 miles.
