What does DPF mean on a Mazda 3?
Your Diesel Particulate Filter, or DPF, filters all the harmful particles from your exhaust gases, stopping them from escaping into the atmosphere. Over time these particles build up inside the filter. When they’ve built up to a certain level, your Mazda will start what’s called the ‘regeneration process’.
Is the Mazda 3 suffering from DPF issues?
The car subsequently ran fine for a couple of months, however, the engine light has come back on and again the error codes point to the DPF. I have also noticed that acceleration power is well down and fuel economy has dropped from the usual 50mpg to 40mpg.
Are there any problems with the Mazda 6 2.2?
Today for example we had a Mazda 6 2.2 dropped off for a DPF cleaning service, with the DPF light flashing and engine management light illuminated the customer already suspected he had DPF issues, however a quick diagnostic check and live data readings we confirmed this.
Why does my Mazda 3 have a blinking DPF light?
Wife has a 2012 Mazda 3 diesel (2.2l, model right before the skyactiv-D was released) and a blinking DPF light actually has nothing to do with the dpf. It actually indicates that the service reminder/ mileage counter hasn’t been reset in the ECU to let the ECU know that the oil change has been completed. aussieandy69 writes…
How to accelerate DPF regeneration in Mazda 3?
1. Forced long regeneration of DPF (performed by Mazda personnel) 2. Checked all Diesel fuel injectors (all worked fine) 3. Used several additives cleaning DPF ( DPF ware factor reported by Mazda software is about 7% – excellent) none of the above worked. Click to expand… Your route & traffic will affect regen cycles.

Are there any problems with the Mazda diesel?
At one time Mazda Diesel was in high demand for transplanting into other makes 4×4’s, how things change in a few years. Apparently our few company Mazda 6 Diesels on 63 plate have had problems, new engines mentioned but unknown how many or what else has needed attention.
