Buying a used car in Alanya: spotting DPF problems

Before buying a used diesel it pays to look at the exhaust system and stored fault codes. Here are hints on what to look for.

Buying a used car in Alanya
01

What to look for on a test drive

Check whether the car accelerates cleanly, whether smoke leaves the exhaust, whether idle is smooth and whether warning lights come on briefly at start and go out again. If a light stays on, ask about it.

02

Have the stored fault codes read

Reading it shows stored faults, including ones the light no longer shows. This can reveal hints about the filter, EGR system or sensors before you buy the car.

03

Paperwork and usage

Ask for service records and how the car has been used so far. Many short trips are unfavourable for a diesel with a particulate filter.

04

Have it checked before buying

We can check the stored fault codes, exhaust system and anything unusual, and tell you what to watch for. Send us make, model and year on WhatsApp. We only give prices on request.

  • I had my DPF cleaned and was very satisfied. The staff are extremely professional and use state-of-the-art equipment. No other company in Alanya works as cleanly and carefully. I can recommend them without reservation 🙏

  • They cleaned the diesel particulate filter of my Peugeot 3008 and also helped me with other problems. Manfred and his friend Erden are very kind and helpful. Thank you both! Greetings from Bosnia
