What kind of particulate filter does a Honda have?
Well, fortunately with Honda Diesel Engines it is fairly straightforward to determine which of their cars have a DPF Fitted. If you own a Honda Diesel manufactured before 2008, then it will not have a particulate filter on any model, and this also includes the I-CTDI engines (some of which may have been first registered beyond 2008)

Is there a problem with the DPF filter on a Honda CRV?
This has been a recurrent issue with the vehicle since new; we are now told it will be another two weeks before technicians arrive from Japan to start working on the car. Any idea what’s wrong with it? That’s interesting. Had a few reports of DPF problems on previous CR-V 2.2iDTEC, Civiv 2.2iDTEC and Accord 2.2iDTEC. Not a lot.
Where is the Diesel Particulate Filter ( DPF ) located?
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is housed in the exhaust and is designed to capture the soot particles emitted from modern diesel engines. Sadly, many of the DPF equipped cars are developing problems due to the DPF either failing, clogging up or just failing to carry out a regeneration properly.

When do I need to replace my DPF filter?
The DPF is a filter that removes particulates and soot/carbon from the exhaust gases and is a serviceable item that needs to be replaced at the end if its life. This varies with each vehicle manufacture (for example Ford requires replacement at 75K and BMW at 150K) and main dealers account for the majority of DPFs fitted within our market.
Why do you need to clean the diesel particulate filter?
Motorists tend to avoid repair due to the expense of cleaning, remapping or replacing the filter, particularly if the car still runs pretty well but there is an engine warning or glow plug light flashing.
