Komatsu EGR & DPF and Adblue Problems

Komatsu use EGR and DPF, and in later machines DPF with Adblue. These systems cause a lot of machines to have issues like low power, check engine lights, derates, nu pushing / lifting power low down and so on. Often construction machines have high idle hours and there are lots of issues with blocking DPF and EGR systems and inefficiencies in the Adblue system causing downtime and call outs. On top of that engine life is not what it should be by a long shot.

DPF issues are usually related to EGR issues, and these issues can be be derates, high fuel consumption, turbo issues, no power in the lower rpm range and so on.
Adblue systems require constant refilling and on worksites that brings it’s own challenges with contamination and getting the fluid to machines and filling tanks.

Reprogramming not only solves most of these issues, with our program and some driver behaviour changes a real fuel saving is very achievable and saves real money. We know from reprogramming D155-7 that fuel economy was at least 15% better and power low down was restored to pre emission level machines.

If you have EGR and DPF you will have the following weaknesses built into your engine: ​

• High exhaust back pressure, and high exhaust temperature
  
• DPF blocks easily and often
  
• Lots of DPF regeneration cycles, often causing smoke, and the smoke leads to complaints from other road users
  
• High intake temperature, inefficient fuel use
  
• High top ring temperature (less engine life)
  
• High coolant temperature (compromises engine life and coolant systems)
  
• High Fan ON time (up to 80% in some engines)
  
• High soot in the intake, blocked inlet manifolds
  
• EGR cooler failures (often leads to turbo and piston/valve issues)
  
• EGR electronic component problems
  
• Poor throttle response and low power complaints
  
• Poor fuel consumption
  
• High soot loading in the engine oil, causing extra wear and needing more frequent oil changes
  
• Lots of time off the road, on top of being parked up for DPF regenerations
  

The Benefits Of Our
EGR DPF Adblue Delete Service:

• A feeling of more power and good response
• A wider power band (EGR restricts power under 1300 and above 1600 rpm in most engine fails)
• Better fuel economy (we have seen 17%)
• Lower engine operating temperature by about 10 or 15 degrees
• Cleaner engine oil, and cooler engine oil, less oil changes, longer engine life
• Very little Fan ON time, down to 15 or 20% (less noise & fuel used)
• Less down time and less repairs
• For every dollar saved in fuel you will save a dollar in maintenance
• It is possible, in most cases, to remove the whole EGR system and all of its components, saving weight and costs.
• No more waiting for regeneration
• No more nonsense call outs for engine de-rates only to have them reoccur in a day week or month so the issue was never fixed in the first place….
• Savings on time and consumables( adblue)

​DPF & Adblue Problems:

On later machines KOMATSU have chosen to use DPF and AdBlue  which is causing the same issues as above but less severe. However reprogramming will not only save fuel, it will save on adblue and adblue issues associated with handling adblue in dusty and muddy conditions. 
Another add -on system that causes issues and expenses, pumps fail, injectors leak and cause exhaust blockage with lumps of urea, derates, extra dealer call outs .
​
We have several options available for each model engine so please contact us with your details and we’ll happily discuss the options and pricing.

• EGR / DPF delete, no other changes
• EGR / DPF ​ delete and increase power
• DPF / AdBlue  delete and a mild torque increase for fuel economy
