Training course on diesel particulate filter cleaning
An intensive one-day course dedicated to the servicing of diesel particulate filters (DPF) using the MS900 test bench. You will study the operating principles of vehicle exhaust systems with DPFs and the causes of filter clogging. The course provides detailed knowledge of the cleaning technology for contaminated filters using the MS900, and teaches you how to confidently communicate with customers regarding DPF maintenance.
What you will learn
- What a DPF is and how it works
- Causes of DPF clogging and symptoms of malfunction
- Operating the MS900: interface and cleaning algorithm
- Customer communication techniques for selling DPF cleaning services
The course "DPF Maintenance Using the MS900 Cleaning Bench" is designed for automotive service professionals and service advisors. The program covers both technical aspects and customer service skills.
In the theoretical part, the course examines the structure and operation of modern exhaust systems, including environmental regulations (Euro, EPA, etc.). It also explores the common causes of DPF clogging.
The practical part features a live demonstration of the DPF cleaning process on the MS900 and step-by-step training in using the equipment. Participants gain essential knowledge and hands-on skills required for confident customer communication. The course combines live demonstrations with real-life service case studies.
