What is “DPF”?
The English “DPF”, “Diesel Particulate Filter”, or “Diesel Particle Filter”. It is a filter designed to remove diesel particles from vehicle exhaust gases. When the filter reaches approximately 45% saturation, the various DPF sensors decide to activate “active regeneration”, where an additive is injected into the filter and the accumulated soot is burned. There is also “passive regeneration” of the filter.
This usually occurs on longer stretches of highway, where the exhaust gases are hotter, and burn off the soot accumulated in the filter. See below a basic graphic example of the exhaust system of the new Ford Ranger 3.2, equipped with DPF:
What are the DPF solutions?
However, the main reason for doing one DPF solution it would be the fault of the same, where the vehicle is in this 'safety mode', with the filter inefficient and the emergency light on the panel, indicating the immediate need for replacement.
In this case we can reprogram the injection control unit (ECU). This solves the sensors and all functions of the DPF system, without the need for replacement. This allows the installation of our solutions. This is very advantageous, as a DPF filter can cost several thousand reais at dealerships.

What is “EGR”?
The “EGR” Valve -from English, “Exhaust Gas Recirculation”, or “Exhaust Gas Recirculation”-. It is a valve designed to reduce NOx (nitrous oxide) emissions in diesel and gasoline engines by reusing a portion of the exhaust gases in the engine intake. See below an illustration of how the valve works:
What are the EGR solutions?
The EGR valve is basically a butterfly body driven by the injection control unit (ECU). Over time, it can create a build-up of soot in the exhaust and fail, causing the vehicle to malfunction and even cause engine failure.
The gases reused through the valve contain particles that contaminate the engine oil, which can reduce the useful life of the assembly. They cause the engine to run hotter, less economically, and with greater fuel consumption, than it could without the valve in action. In fact, the STRIKE BRASIL is a pioneer in solutions of this valve directly in the ECU, which neutralizes these harms, and can prevent possible failure!
