FAQ's
DPF CLEANING & REPAIRS QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
What is a DPF and why does it block?
A DPF (diesel particulate filter) catches soot from your exhaust. The car is meant to burn that soot off on its own during longer drives. If you mostly do short trips around town, it never gets hot enough, so the soot builds up until the warning light comes on.
How do I know my DPF needs cleaning?
The usual signs are a DPF warning light, the car going into limp mode, a drop in power, or the fan running after you switch off. Some cars also start using more fuel because they keep trying to regenerate.
Can I just use a DPF additive or take it for a highway drive?
Sometimes a long drive at steady speed will clear a lightly blocked filter. Once the car is in limp mode or the light stays on, an additive won’t fix it, and driving hard can make it worse. It’s better to get it scanned first so you know how full the filter actually is.
How long does DPF cleaning take?
A forced regeneration usually takes one to two hours. If the filter needs to come off for a full clean, plan on the car being with us for the day.
