Common Van Faults

DPF Problems

One of the problems with DPF’s is that the problem seems fixed but then re-occurs, which is irritating to be back at square one.

Differential Problems

A van with a faulty differential just can’t be safely driven. In older van models particularly, the repair/scrap equation tends to lean to scrap.
