Why Professional DPF Cleaning Matters
Modern diesel vehicles have a diesel particulate filter engineered to trap and remove dangerous deposits from the exhaust system. However, as you keep driving the vehicle, the filter can get blocked, resulting in increased fuel consumption, loss of power, and even engine damage.
Key signs your diesel particulate filter requires cleaning:
- Warning light on the dashboard
- Loss of engine power
- Black smoke from the exhaust system
- Increased fuel consumption
- The engine is running rough or struggling
We offer advanced diesel particulate filter cleaning to elevate your vehicle’s performance, protect the environment and avoid expensive filter replacements.
What to Expect from a Diesel Particulate Filter Service
DPF Diagnosis
We use specialised and advanced diagnostic tools to examine the block level for a better understanding.
Off-Car Cleaning
The filter is removed and cleaned using high-pressure air and chemical treatment.
On-Car Regeneration
We conduct a robust regeneration to burn off residues and ensure nothing is left.
Post-Clean Testing
The DPF is reinstalled and tested for flow and backpressure. We test thoroughly so nothing is left untouched.
Vehicle Overall Condition Check
A thorough inspection is performed to verify optimal engine performance and emissions.
The process is designed to restore the diesel particulate filter’s functionality efficiently, enhancing engine efficiency and ensuring compliance with emission standards.
Easy Tips to Maintain That Showroom-Quality Drive
Regular maintenance and good driving habits can extend your vehicle’s life and reduce the chances of breakdowns.
Expert Tips from Our Technicians:
- Stay on top of your scheduled services to keep your vehicle in peak condition
- Choose high-quality fuel and oil to minimise internal buildup and ensure optimal performance
- Drive your vehicle regularly to support complete DPF regeneration and avoid blockages
- Perform weekly checks on tyres and fluid levels to maintain smooth and safe operation
- Pay attention to dashboard warning lights. Early action helps prevent costly repairs
Is It Time for a Service or DPF Cleaning ? Here’s How to Tell
We recommend servicing your vehicle every 5 to 6 months or every 10,000 to 15,000 km, whichever comes first. For older vehicles, more frequent servicing may be necessary to prevent unexpected breakdowns. The ideal timing for regular maintenance and diesel particulate filter cleaning can vary based on your vehicle’s make, model, and age. Consult your owner’s manual or a trusted technician for guidance tailored to your vehicle.
