Range Rover Evoque DPF Cleaning Guide
Welcome to the DPF Specialist Blog, today’s topic is focusing on the Range Rover Evoque, when the DPF becomes blocked, and regeneration, Symptoms, cleaning on carr and off car, and fault codes.
If you require technical support regarding Range Rover Evoque (DPF) Blocked, please call 0333 060 6801. Please note that all chemicals used are a professional grade, which is used in conjunction with a specialist machine. All replacement parts sourced from our partner Xpart.

When diagnosing faults on the Range Rover Evoque or finding a workaround to a blocked DPF the first thing you could try is regeneration although many times this will not work and a professional clean or replacement will be required.
The first starting point is to identify the symptoms to ascertain if your DPF is at fault…
Symptoms of a blocked Range Rover Evoque DPF
- Limp mode
- Difficult starting
- Bad smells
- Loss of power
The second step is to try DPF regeneration…
- Range Rover Evoque DPF Regeneration process
- Ensure engine is at operating temperature
- Drive the vehicle at a minimum speed of 30 mph for at least 20 minutes
- The warning message will go when regeneration is complete
The third step …
Have your DPF professionally cleaned…
DPF Specialist have a fleet of mobile vans nationwide that provide a cleaning service which includes computer-aided diagnostics, cleaning of the DPF, this is without removing the DPF, our mobile equipped DPF Assist vans can do this at your place of work or home.
We also offer a competitive same day off-car cleaning service for more information on this why not give us a call 0333 060 6801 to find out more. Watch our video on how a DPF has cleaned off the car, click here.
Benefits of using our DPF cleaning patented technology:
Removal of all residuals, including PM10 particles and cerium. Efficient cleaning of all of the types of particulate filter and catalyst. Preservation of the noble metal coatings of the DPF and catalyst. Environmentally friendly process.
And finally…. If you have access to a good diagnostic scanner, we have put together a troubleshooting guide for soft codes :
| Fault Code | Cause of Fault code |
|---|---|
| P2002 DPF efficiency below threshold bank 1 | Short distance driving |
| P2003 DPF efficiency below threshold | An air leak will result in sensor readings fluctuations that will trigger the codes Fuel with high percentage sulphur will contribute to these fault codes |
| P0470 Exhaust pressure sensor malfunction | Blockage in pipe from sensor to the exhaust |
| P0471 Exhaust pressure sensor range/performance | EGR valve /air leaks |
| P242f (if left untreated) | Faulty exhaust pressure sensor |
| P2031 exhaust gas temperature sensor circuit P2032 exhaust gas temperature sensor low P2033 exhaust gas temperature sensor high | Loose or corroded connectors or terminals Broken wires Faulty sensor |
| P242f DPF restriction (ash accumulation) | Excessive ash accumulation in DPF Defective DPF pressure sensor Clogged DPF pressure sensor pipes/hoses Open or shorted circuit/s in the DPF sensor circuit Inefficient DPF regeneration Overuse of engine or fuel system additives The active DPF regeneration system inoperative |
| P244a DPF differential pressure too low P244b DPF differential pressure too high | Insufficient/incorrect diesel exhaust fluid Open or shorted circuit - DPF pressure sensor Defective pcm programming Defective DPF sensor Faulty DPF |
| P2458 DPF regeneration duration P2459 DPF regeneration frequency | Faulty exhaust pressure sensor Insufficient/incorrect diesel exhaust fluid Shorted or open wiring to the DPF injection system Faulty DPF Open or shorted circuit in DPF pressure sensor circuit Faulty DPF pressure sensor The diesel exhaust fluid reservoir may be empty Improper diesel exhaust fluid |
| P2455 DPF pressure sensor circuit a high | Exhaust leaks Clogged DPF pressure sensor pipes/tubes blocked |
| P2463 DPF restriction | Inoperative active DPF regeneration system Incorrect installation of new DPF Incorrect clearance of previous error codes |
| P2454 DPF pressure sensor a circuit low | Excessive soot accumulation due to insufficient DPF regeneration Insufficient/incorrect diesel exhaust fluid Faulty exhaust pressure sensor |
| P2452/53 DPF pressure sensor a circuit range/performance | The diesel exhaust fluid reservoir is empty (AdBlue) Incorrect diesel exhaust fluid Defective DPF pressure sensor Clogged DPF pressure sensor pipes/hoses Open or shorted circuit in the pressure sensor Inefficient DPF regeneration |
