Professional DPF Cleaning
Complete DPF removal, professional cleaning and refitting with diagnostic checks before and after the clean.
COMPLETE DPF REMOVAL, CLEAN & REFIT
A proper clean, not just a warning-light reset.
A blocked diesel particulate filter can cause warning lights, reduced performance and repeated regeneration problems. Our complete service removes the DPF from the vehicle so it can be professionally cleaned before being refitted and checked.
✓ Initial diagnostic check✓ DPF removed from the vehicle✓ Professional DPF clean✓ DPF refitted✓ Diagnostic reset and checks✓ Final checks and road test where required
What can affect the price?
Some vehicles require substantially more labour to remove and refit the DPF. We will explain any additional cost before extra work goes ahead.
✓ Difficult DPF location or restricted access✓ Seized or corroded fixings✓ Damaged sensors, pipes or fittings✓ Additional labour required during removal or refitting
Typical turnaround: around 2 hours for a straightforward vehicle.
WHEN TO GET IT CHECKED
DPF warning light or repeated regeneration problems?
A warning light does not always mean the filter itself is the only fault. The initial diagnostic check helps us assess the vehicle before the DPF is removed and cleaned.
Diagnostic Check
We check the vehicle and DPF-related faults before removal.
Remove DPF
The filter is carefully removed from the vehicle.
Professional Clean
The removed DPF is professionally cleaned away from the vehicle.
Refit
The cleaned filter is refitted and connections checked.
Reset & Check
Diagnostic values and relevant systems are checked after refitting.
Final Test
Final checks and a road test are completed where required.
HOW YOUR DPF WORKS
Inside a diesel particulate filter
A DPF traps soot from diesel exhaust gases. Regeneration burns accumulated soot, but it cannot repair a cracked, melted or internally damaged filter.
OUR TECHNICIANS AT WORK

Can every DPF be cleaned?
No. Cleaning suitability depends on the condition of the filter and the cause of the blockage. A cracked, melted or internally damaged DPF may require replacement rather than cleaning. Problems with sensors, the engine or the emissions system may also need repair to prevent the filter becoming blocked again.
We carry out diagnostic checks and explain any additional work before proceeding.
DPF CLEANING FAQ
Understanding your diesel particulate filter.
A DPF warning light can have more than one cause. These are some of the questions we are most often asked about blocked filters and professional cleaning.
What is a DPF?
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of a diesel vehicle’s exhaust emissions system. It traps soot from the exhaust rather than allowing it to pass straight out of the tailpipe. The vehicle periodically attempts to burn accumulated soot away through a process called regeneration.
Why does a DPF become blocked?
Repeated short journeys and interrupted regenerations can contribute to soot building up in the filter. DPF problems can also be linked to faults elsewhere on the vehicle, which is why we carry out diagnostic checks rather than simply clearing a warning light.
What are the common signs of a DPF problem?
A DPF or engine warning light, reduced performance, repeated regeneration attempts or a vehicle entering reduced-power mode can all be reasons to have the system checked. The exact symptoms vary by vehicle, so diagnosis is the first step.
What happens during your DPF cleaning process?
We first check the vehicle for DPF-related faults. The filter is then removed from the vehicle and professionally cleaned away from the vehicle. Once cleaned, it is refitted, connections are checked, relevant diagnostic values are reviewed or reset as required, and final checks are carried out.
Is professional DPF cleaning the same as regeneration?
No. Regeneration is the vehicle’s process of raising exhaust temperature to burn accumulated soot while the DPF remains fitted. Our complete service removes the DPF so it can be professionally cleaned before being refitted and checked.
Can every blocked DPF be cleaned?
Not always. A cracked, melted or internally damaged DPF may require replacement. Engine, sensor or emissions-system faults may also need attention to prevent repeat blockage. We will explain any additional work before it goes ahead.
How long does DPF cleaning take?
A straightforward vehicle is typically around two hours for our complete removal, clean and refit service. Access, seized fixings, damaged sensors or other faults can increase the time required.
What should I do if my DPF warning light is on?
Contact the workshop with your registration and tell us which warning lights or symptoms you have noticed. We can arrange a diagnostic check and advise on the appropriate next step for your vehicle.
