FAQs

What is a DPF Pressure Sensor Pipe?

It is a component of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system that measures exhaust backpressure. This data is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to determine when the DPF needs to regenerate.

Which vehicles is this pipe compatible with?

This Gates DPF Pressure Sensor Pipe is designed for Ford Focus C-Max and Focus II models equipped with the 1.6 TDCi engine, typically for Euro 4 emissions standards.

What are the OEM part numbers this replaces?

This pipe cross-references Ford OEM part numbers 1451716 and 3M5A5H241BA.

Can I install this myself?

While it is a direct replacement part, installation requires mechanical knowledge and safe vehicle lifting procedures. It is recommended to have it installed by a qualified mechanic.

What is the material of this pipe?

The pipe is manufactured from durable silicone material.

What does 'Euro 4 compliant' mean for this part?

It indicates that the pipe is designed to work within the emissions control system requirements for vehicles meeting the Euro 4 standard.

How do I know if I need to replace my DPF pressure sensor pipe?

Symptoms may include an illuminated DPF warning light, reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, or specific diagnostic trouble codes related to DPF pressure. It's best to have a mechanic diagnose the issue.

Troubleshooting

DPF warning light remains illuminated after installation

Ensure the pipe is securely connected at both ends. Check for other leaks in the DPF system or a faulty sensor. The DPF may require a forced regeneration or cleaning.

Engine performance issues persist

Verify correct part number compatibility for your vehicle. Inspect the entire DPF system for other contributing faults, such as a clogged DPF or a faulty differential pressure sensor.

Pipe shows signs of wear or cracking

Inspect for any external damage or excessive heat sources. If wear is evident, replacement is recommended to prevent leaks and maintain system integrity.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle is a Ford Focus C-Max or Focus II equipped with the 1.6 TDCi engine. Cross-reference your vehicle's existing DPF pressure sensor pipe or consult your vehicle's service manual to confirm compatibility with Ford OEM part numbers 1451716 or 3M5A5H241BA.

Installation: This part is a direct replacement for the OEM component. Installation typically involves:

  1. Safely jacking up the vehicle and securing it.
  2. Locating the existing DPF pressure sensor pipe.
  3. Carefully disconnecting the old pipe from the sensor and the exhaust system.
  4. Installing the new Gates pipe, ensuring secure connections.
  5. Reconnecting the sensor and exhaust components.

It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct fitment and avoid damage.

Care: As a silicone hose, this pipe is relatively low maintenance. However, it should be regularly inspected for cracks, leaks, or damage during routine vehicle maintenance. Ensure connections remain secure and free from debris. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive heat beyond normal operating conditions.
