DPF Faults. Warning Lights. Limp Mode.
If you run a Transit Custom — especially one used for short trips or site runs — you know the drill: DPF light on, regeneration failed, power cut.
That’s exactly what happened to Dan, a self-employed electrician from Leicester.
“It dropped into limp mode two days before a job in Manchester,” Dan told us.
“The garage said it needed a new filter and sensors. £1,200 all-in. I nearly cancelled the week.”
Instead, he called us.
Vehicle: 2020 Ford Transit Custom 2.0 EcoBlue
- Symptoms:
- DPF warning light
- Multiple failed regens
- Reduced power (limp mode)
- Stored codes: P2463 (soot accumulation), P242F (filter restriction)
Dealer advice: Replace DPF, temperature sensor, labour and forced regen – approx. £1,200.
The Fix: Mobile DPF Delete with ECU Reprogramming
We visited Dan at his home the same evening. After scanning the vehicle and confirming all other systems were healthy, we offered a full DPF delete solution — done through the ECU only.
- ✔ DPF monitoring and regeneration logic switched off
- ✔ Fault codes cleared and system disabled
- ✔ No impact on drivability or cold starts
- ✔ Lifetime software solution — no warning lights, no limp
Time on site: 90 minutes
Tools used: Autotuner, full pre/post diagnostics
The Result
Within two hours, Dan’s van was back to full power — no faults, no lights, no limp. All error codes were cleared and the SCR system was fully stable.
He didn’t lose his job. And he didn’t pay £1,200.
“You saved my week. It’s been fault-free since and honestly pulls better than before. I won’t use anyone else now.”
Why It Matters for Vans Like This
DPF systems are one of the biggest weak points on modern diesels — especially on vans doing low-speed urban mileage.
When regeneration fails:
- Soot builds up
- Temperatures stay too low
- The ECU panics — and locks you out with limp mode or range countdowns
A delete (for off-road or export use only) can permanently stop these issues when the filter is beyond saving or already removed.
Is a DPF Delete Right for You?
- ✅ You’ve already had multiple forced regens
- ✅ You’ve been quoted £1,000+ for a new filter
- ✅ You’re running a decat or modified exhaust
- ✅ You don’t need the DPF system to remain road-legal
We’ll confirm compatibility before starting and run full diagnostics to make sure your engine’s ready for the delete.
