DKU Performance Upgrades for Better Driving
This Nissan Qashqai DCI was brought in following a breakdown, with the engine management light illuminated and noticeably reduced performance. Diagnostic checks confirmed a heavily restricted diesel particulate filter, causing poor exhaust flow and increased back pressure within the Nissan Qashqai DCI Exhaust System.
A professional DPF cleaning solution was carried out to restore proper function of the Nissan Qashqai DCI Exhaust. The process removed excessive soot build up, allowing exhaust gases to pass freely through the system again. This resolved the warning light issue, improved throttle response, and restored smoother engine operation.
By improving flow through the Nissan Qashqai DCI Exhaust System, overall efficiency and turbo performance were significantly enhanced. Additional fault codes were identified during testing which may require further mechanical attention, however the completed work successfully addressed the primary exhaust restriction and returned the vehicle to reliable running condition.
