Diesel particle filter keeps blocking in a nissan navara d40 2006, the DPF light keep on...how to regenarate this.

Yes. Your 2012 Nissan Navara 2.5L Turbo Diesel (with manual transmission) does have a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).

run the fault codes first
could be a problem injector control module

I know little about the dpf other than what I have read. When they were announced the cleaning process was supposed to be automatic. An exhaust back-pressure sensor would detect a partially blocked filter and trigger a cleaning programme where the engine tune parameters would change causing a much higher exhaust temperature to develop and a solvent to be injected somewhere and shortly (70 or 80 miles) there would be a clean filter and no back pressure. Topping up the solvent reservoir was an essential maintenance operation.

In practice the requirement for a dpf has mostly resulted in another chance for the car owner to spend more money as often the back-pressure light would mean an expensive visit to the dealer in order for the solvent reservoir to be topped up and a cleaning programme to be started using a laptop and special software. I suppose some cleaning cycles might be automatic as promised...

Assuming your mechanic fitted the correct dpf in the correct way I am guessing the most likely cause of the problem is somehow the engine remained on the "automatic" cleaning cycle where the exhaust gas would be unnaturally hot. Perhaps there is an issue with the back-pressure sensor or a software glitch.

I am sorry I can't be more informative.

Error 55 is Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF)
Reducing diesel soot emissions by 80%

If you're buying a new car and plan to use it mainly for town-based, stop/start driving it would be wise to avoid a diesel car fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) because of the possible hassle of incomplete 'DPF regeneration'.

The exhaust emissions standards for new cars have effectively required fitment of a DPF in the exhaust of diesel cars since 2009 when the 'Euro 5' standard came into force. In fact, many cars registered before 2009 will have had one fitted too in anticipation of the change in standards.

Standards aim to deliver an 80% reduction in diesel particulate (soot) emissions but the technology's not without problems - AA patrols are regularly called to cars with the particulate filter warning light on indicating a partial blockage of the filter.

Even if your driving isn't mainly urban/stop-start, changes to driving style may be required to get maximum benefit from these systems.

How do they work?
Diesel Particulate filters (DPF) or 'traps' do just that, they catch bits of soot in the exhaust.

As with any filter (think of the bag in your vacuum cleaner) they have to be emptied regularly to maintain performance. For a DPF this process is called 'regeneration' - the collected soot is burnt off at high temperature to leave only a tiny ash residue.

Regeneration may be either passive or active.

Passive regeneration
Passive regeneration takes place automatically on motorway-type runs when the exhaust temperature is high. Because many cars don't get this sort of use car manufacturers have to design-in 'active' regeneration where the engine management computer (ECU) takes control of the process.

Active regeneration
When the soot loading in the filter reaches a set limit (about 45%) the ECU can make small adjustments to the fuel injection timing to increase the exhaust temperature and initiate regeneration. If the journey is a bit stop/start the regeneration may not complete and the warning light will come on to show that the filter is partially blocked.

It should be possible to start a complete regeneration and clear the warning light by driving for 10 minutes or so at speeds greater than 40mph.

If you ignore the warning light and keep driving in a relatively slow, stop/start pattern soot loading will continue to build up until around 75% when you can expect to see other dashboard warning lights come on too. At this point driving at speed alone will not be enough and you will have to take the car to a dealer for regeneration.

Expensive repairs
If you continue to ignore warnings and soot loading keeps increasing then the most likely outcome will be that you will have to get a new DPF costing around £1000.

DPF additives
The most commonly fitted type of DPF has an integrated oxidising catalytic converter and is located very close to the engine where exhaust gases will still be hot. This heat means that passive regeneration is possible.

There's not always space close to the engine though so some manufacturers use a different type of DPF which uses a fuel additive to lower the ignition temperature of the soot particles so that the DPF can be located further from the engine.

The additive is stored in a separate tank and is automatically mixed with the fuel whenever you fill up. Only very small quantities are used though so a litre of additive should treat around 2800 litres of fuel - enough to cover 25,000 miles at 40mpg.

You will have to pay to get the additive tank refilled at some time in the car's life, and we've heard reports of dealers charging up to £200 to re-fill a half empty tank.

AA experience
We're seeing some evidence of DPF systems failing to regenerate even on cars used mainly on motorways.

On cars with a very high sixth gear the engine revs may be too low to generate sufficient exhaust temperature for regeneration. Occasional harder driving in lower gears should be sufficient to burn off the soot in such cases.

With this type of DPF regeneration will be initiated by the ECU every 300 miles or so depending on vehicle use and will take 5 to 10 minutes to complete. You shouldn't notice anything other than perhaps a puff of white smoke from the exhaust when the process is completed.

There's no evidence in AA breakdown data that the problem's going away - newer car models seem just as likely to sufffer DPF problems if not driven 'correctly' as those built when DPF's were introduced.

Check the handbook
If you buy a car with a DPF fitted it's important to read the relevant section of the vehicle handbook so that you understand exactly what actions to take if the warning light illuminates and how, if at all, your driving style may need to be adjusted to ensure maximum DPF efficiency and life.

this is not referring to the diesel fuel filter. it is referring to the DPF Diesel particulate filter which is located in the exhaust system.
to unblock it you need to make a 40min journey at or over 2500 rpm
(50 mph in 4th gear) this is known as a regeneration run.it brings the DPF up to around 400 degrees which burns out the old soot particles this is a normal process during normal driving but too many short /slow trips can cause a blockage in the filter

Keep a Bannian cloth or a spoonz in the filter to avoid the impurities entering your diesel tank. You can avoid maximum impurities using this simple idea.

This is down to the way the vehicle is driven, if you are doing a lot of short stop start journeys the dpf will fill up a lot quicker than when driven on a motorway.
If you have an amber light and 'DPF FULL' displayed you can do a particle filter regeneration. To carry out a regeneration the vehicle must be driven on a motorway at around 60mph for approx 20 mins to carry out re-gen, there will also be a burning smell when this is complete.
If you have a red light and 'DPF FULL' displayed then there may be a fault which will require investigation.
