What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) & Why Does It Get Blocked?
Modern diesel engines come with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to reduce harmful emissions. It traps soot and fine particles from the exhaust, preventing them from being released into the air.
But here’s the problem:
DPFs get clogged over time, especially if you:
- Drive short distances frequently
- Use low-quality fuel
- Neglect regular servicing
- Have faulty sensors or engine inefficiencies
When your DPF gets blocked, it can trigger warning lights, reduce engine power, and even cause your vehicle to fail an MOT due to high emissions. That’s where professional DPF solutions come in.
How to Know If Your DPF is Blocked?
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, your DPF might need urgent attention:
- DPF warning light on your dashboard
- Loss of power & sluggish acceleration
- Higher fuel consumption
- Strong diesel smell & excessive smoke
- Limp mode activation (car won’t rev beyond a certain point)
- Failed MOT due to emissions
Ignoring a blocked DPF can lead to expensive repairs or even engine failure. Don’t wait—get it cleaned or regenerated before it’s too late.
Leicester DPF Cleaning – Affordable & Effective Solutions
We offer several DPF solutions tailored to your vehicle’s needs:
1. Forced DPF Regeneration
A process that uses high temperatures to burn off soot inside the filter. It’s ideal for partially blocked DPFs and can be done quickly.
2. Chemical DPF Cleaning
Our professional-grade chemical cleaning dissolves stubborn ash deposits that standard regeneration can’t remove, restoring your filter’s efficiency.
3. Ultrasonic DPF Cleaning
For heavily clogged DPFs, our ultrasonic cleaning uses advanced technology to remove deep-seated carbon buildup, making your filter almost as good as new.
4. Mobile DPF Cleaning (On-Site Service)
Can’t bring your vehicle to us? No problem. Our mobile DPF cleaning service ensures we come to you—perfect for commercial fleets and private vehicles in Leicester.
DPF Removal (For Off-Road Use Only)
If you use your diesel vehicle strictly for off-road or track purposes, we offer DPF removal and ECU remapping to enhance performance and reliability.
