How to Remove the DPF on a Nissan Qashqai

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Diesel particulate filter

In this video tutorial, see how to remove the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) on a Nissan Qashqai through simple steps. The first step is to purchase 5 litres of DPF cleaner; next, lift the car with a jack and secure it with safety supports, or if you have a lift, that’s even better for working. Near the manifold, there are two bolts that you need to remove, as well as two nuts at the rear of the exhaust. The DPF is located inside the channel of the exhaust system. Fluids pass through the DPF via a pipe. Once the DPF is removed, soak it for about one hour and thirty minutes to ensure proper cleaning of debris. Then, refit it to the car in reverse order.
