Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DPF and why does it get blocked?
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) traps soot particles from the exhaust gas to reduce emissions. It can become blocked if you do lots of short journeys where the engine does not get hot enough to burn off the trapped soot through regeneration.
Can you clean a blocked DPF?
Yes, in most cases a blocked DPF can be professionally cleaned and regenerated without replacing it. Our DPF cleaning service restores filter efficiency and can save you hundreds compared to a full replacement.
