Description
This product listing covers the diesel particulate filter (DPF) specifically for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi MK4, manufactured between 2007 and 2014. We offer a professional cleaning service for these Euro 5 compliant DPFs, providing a cost-effective alternative to full replacement.
A diesel particulate filter is a critical component in modern diesel vehicles, designed to capture and store exhaust soot, thereby reducing harmful emissions. This particular unit, with OEM part number 1731156 and alternative BM11073, is integral to maintaining the emission standards of your Ford Mondeo.
Common failure modes for DPFs include blockages caused by excessive soot accumulation, ash build-up from oil combustion, or failed regeneration cycles. Frequent short journeys, incorrect engine oil specifications, or faults in other engine systems (such as injectors or the EGR valve) can exacerbate these issues, leading to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and dashboard warning lights. A fully blocked DPF can lead to the vehicle entering ‘limp mode’ or even prevent it from starting.
At Gap Turbos, we specialise in DPF cleaning and restoration. Our service for this Ford Mondeo DPF involves a comprehensive two-stage process: an ultrasonic clean to break down stubborn carbon deposits, followed by a thermal regeneration cycle to burn off remaining soot and ash. This method restores the DPF’s flow efficiency, often to near-new specifications, and is significantly more economical than purchasing a new unit – typically 70-90% cheaper. We also offer mobile cleaning and forced regeneration services where appropriate. It is important to note that DPF removal is illegal in the UK and will result in an MOT failure.

Common faults & troubleshooting
[“Reduced engine power or ‘limp mode’: This often indicates a severely blocked DPF restricting exhaust flow; a diagnostic scan will confirm DPF pressure sensor readings.”, ‘DPF warning light on dashboard: This signifies a DPF blockage or a fault with a related sensor; a professional diagnostic tool is needed to read specific fault codes.’, ‘Increased fuel consumption: A blocked DPF forces the engine to work harder to expel exhaust gases, leading to reduced fuel efficiency; a DPF clean can restore proper flow.’, ‘Excessive smoke from exhaust: While less common with DPFs, this could indicate a DPF bypass or a critical engine fault causing significant unburnt fuel or oil to pass through.’, ‘Engine struggling to rev or stalling: A severely restricted DPF can create excessive back pressure, preventing the engine from reaching higher RPMs or even causing it to stall; immediate attention is required.’]
Fitting notes for this unit
[‘Always replace all DPF gaskets and exhaust clamps with new items during reinstallation to ensure a completely gas-tight seal and prevent exhaust leaks.’, ‘Thoroughly clean or replace the DPF pressure sensor pipes and ensure they are correctly reconnected; blockages or incorrect routing will lead to inaccurate readings and fault codes.’, ‘After fitting the cleaned DPF, use appropriate diagnostic equipment to clear all DPF-related fault codes and perform a forced DPF regeneration to initialise the system.’, ‘Inspect the EGR valve and check for turbocharger oil leaks or excessive shaft play; these can be underlying causes of DPF contamination and should be addressed to prevent future blockages.’, ‘Ensure the correct specification of low-ash, DPF-compatible engine oil (e.g., Ford WSS-M2C913-D or equivalent) is used during subsequent oil changes to minimise ash build-up.’]

Need this DPF cleaned?
Most blocked DPFs do not need replacing. Our 5-stage workshop clean restores factory flow at a fraction of the cost of a new filter, and mobile DPF cleaning is available UK-wide for fleets.
