The particle filter is a fairly modern invention that aims to remove harmful particles from the exhaust gases of latest diesels. It has long been seen as the miracle solution to these pollution complications. Nevertheless, it doesn’t work as well as expected and triggers more complications than it handles, which is why we will see in this article when changing the particulate filter of a Jaguar F-Type? . To get this done, first of all, we will identify what the particle filter on your car is intended for, and then when to replace the particle filter on your Jaguar F-Type.

What’s the point of a Jaguar F-Type’s particulate filter?

So we begin our article with the rationale for this element recently built in into diesel vehicles. As we explained quickly in the introduction, the aim of this filter was to solve the complications of pollution and harmfulness of exhaust gases from Jaguar F-Type vehicles. Its functioning principle is to store exhaust gases that are unburned or that still contain harmful particles, and when it is at a sufficiently high temperature to bring about a second combustion that will finish burning and get rid of all these carcinogenic particles. Regrettably, to reach this very high engine temperature, you have to be on the highway or have your Jaguar F-Type engine revving up. So we have noticed over time that vehicles that are specifically on short trips or in the city do not enable the particulate filter to burn these gases and we will discover in the next part that these complications can force you to replace the particulate filter of your Jaguar F-Type .

When to replace the particulate filter of a Jaguar F-Type?

In this section we will identify what you are most definitely drawn to here, whether it is necessary to replace the particulate filter of a Jaguar F-Type and if so, when?

Is it necessary to replace the particulate filter on Jaguar F-Type?

There are 2 kind of particulate filter for vehicles, a particulate filter with additive, which does not concern the Jaguar F-Type, but which needs to be recharged every 120, 000km with an additive that allows the regeneration of the particulate filter and therefore to burn all those harmful soot. The second one, the one we are interested in in this article, works with precious metals that will create a chemical reaction at high temperature and bring about the regeneration of the filter and the evacuation of the carcinogenic materials. Nevertheless, as revealed earlier, it requires very high temperatures, if these are not reached the filter will clog. If the filter is not regenerated manually, drive at high speed for about 20 minutes to reach this temperature and thus regenerate your filter, you will clog it and risk damaging your turbo, your EGR valve or your engine. If you need to clean the EGR valve of your Jaguar F-Type due to your particulate filter, do not hesitate to look at our article on this subject to identify what the process is.

When to replace the particulate filter of a Jaguar F-Type?

As we explained before, a particulate filter is designed to last the life of the car, however some of you may wonder when it is necessary to replace the particulate filter of its Jaguar F-Type? Take note that this part is extremely expensive, labor is not the most important problem because it is easy to access. But the part itself will vary enormously in price based on your motorization, you can still count a range between 700 and 2000€. This replace should only be considered in the case of a completely clogged particle filter. If you don’t repeatedly take the motorway, we advise you, every month to drive 10 minutes on the motorway at least 3000 rpm . In spite of everything, the current particulate filter have not been well designed and remain troublesome, it is considered that due to the lack of a sufficiently regular temperature rise and other design complications, you should begin planning to replace your particulate filter from 200, 000km if you have a use of your XX that is more urban and a little more if it is mixed .
