Asked by Rod Campion
My 2011 Ford Mondeo diesel has been diagnosed with a blocked particulate filter, and I have been quoted $5000 to replace it! Are there any aftermarket filters on the market, or will everyone who buys or owns a late model diesel with high kilometres be hit with the same slug as me?
Answered by CarsGuide
24 Apr 2015Blocked particulate filters are usually the result of doing only short trips at low speeds when there’s no opportunity for the filter to go through the regeneration process. In those cases the dealer can usually do the regeneration. Alternatively check the Internet to see what a filter would cost to import from overseas.
