Our stock range and applications are always growing so if you don't see the correct part for your car we still may be able to help.

1. Diesel Particulate Filters or DPF's remove diesel particulate soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel car, reducing particulate emissions.

2. The overall goal is to reduce diesel particulate soot emissions by 80%

3. Breakdowns are becoming far more regular with the diesel particulate warning light showing which may indicate a partial block.

4. All DPF's must conform to Euro 5 regulations which defines the acceptable emissions of new vehicles.

5. DPF's work by forcing the gasses to flow through the filter. As the channels of the filter are blockedat alternate ends, the gasses are forced to flow through the cell walls in order to exit the filter.

6. Passive Regeneration- Active Regeneration occurs when the level of soot in the filter reaches around 45%

7. Active Regeneration- Passive regeneration takes place automatically on motorway-type runs when the exhaust temperature is high

8. DPF's should last up to 100,000 miles but on many cars after this period they become clogged and your warning light will come on, it is then unlikely that you can clear your DPF through regeneration.

9. If your own car use is mainly town-based, stop/start driving it would be wise to choose petrol rather than risk the hassle of incomplete DPF regeneration.

10. They can cost over a £1000 from main dealers but Click Car Parts stock the most extensive range of after market Diesel Particulate Filters

Click Car Parts supplies the full range of NGK Spark Plugs, NGK have been manufacturing spark plugs and glowplugs for over 35 yrs and are the leaders in the field when it comes to manufacturing high quality spark plugs and glow plugs. NGK was established in the UK in the early 1970's and every NGK Spark plug is designed to meet the most rigorous standards, thereby delivering reliability and consistent performance under all conditions.

Spark Plugs

What does a Spark Plug Do?

The primary function of the spark plug is to ignite the air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber under any operating condition.

Spark plugs must provide a path and a location for electrical energy from the ignition coil to create a spark used to ignite the air-fuel mixture. A sufficient amount of voltage must be supplied by the ignition system to spark across the spark plug gap. This is called "Electrical Performance."

The spark plug firing end temperature must be kept low enough to prevent pre-ignition, but high enough to prevent fouling. This is called "Thermal Performance", and is determined by the heat range selected.

Common Problems with Spark Plugs

Many times when a spark plug will not fire there may be debris that has built up around the lower portion of the electrode and the grounding point. This will cause the spark plug to short out and not create a spark. The air gap is vital for the spark to occur.

Glow Plugs

What does a Glow Plug Do?

The primary function of the glow plug is to ignite the air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber under any operating condition.

Why do diesel engines need glow plugs?

Glow Plugs aids cold starting by raising the temp of the incoming air, it also reduces smoke emissions, engine noises, vibrations and improves driveability in the cold.

Fitting Tips

When fitting the glow plug, it is important that the thread of the glow plug and the engine is clean. The high-quality coating of the NGK glow plugs makes the use of lubricant redundant.

On removing it is important to avoid that dirt particles falls into the combustion chamber. Loosen only the glow plug a little and then clean the threads with a suitable tool and then remove the glow plug completely.

With NGK spark plugs and Glow Plugs you can guarantee a high performance, quality product something that Click Car Parts demands from its suppliers.
