There’s no set interval for DPF cleaning, but it’s recommended to have it checked regularly, especially if you frequently drive short distances in urban areas. A DPF warning light, reduced engine performance, or poor fuel economy are all signs that your DPF may need cleaning.

The DPF can become blocked if the vehicle doesn't get up to high enough temperatures to burn off soot during normal driving, which typically happens on longer journeys at higher speeds (such as motorway driving). Short trips and stop-start driving don't allow the DPF to regenerate, leading to blockages.

Ignoring a blocked DPF can lead to serious issues such as the vehicle entering limp mode, increased emissions, reduced performance, and even costly engine damage. In extreme cases, a completely blocked DPF may need replacing, which is far more expensive than a cleaning service.

Regular long drives at higher speeds (such as on motorways) help the DPF regenerate by burning off the soot naturally. Avoiding frequent short trips and ensuring your vehicle is serviced regularly will also reduce the risk of DPF blockages.

DPF cleaning typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the level of blockage and the method used to clean it. Our technicians work efficiently to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Yes, a clean DPF allows your engine to breathe more easily, improving fuel efficiency. A blocked DPF can lead to increased fuel consumption as the engine works harder to expel exhaust gases.

Yes, after a thorough DPF cleaning, the system will be reset, and the DPF warning light will turn off. Our technicians will also test your vehicle to ensure everything is working properly before handing it back to you.

Most vehicles equipped with a DPF can be cleaned. However, in some cases, where the DPF is severely damaged or blocked beyond repair, a replacement may be necessary. Our team will assess the condition of your DPF and recommend the best course of action.
