My Garage has said I need a new DPF
Did you know that 95% of DPF’s can be saved? Main dealer garages will tell you it needs replacing when actually it probably doesn’t all it needs is a DPF clean.

What is a DPF?
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an essential component in the exhaust system of diesel engines, designed to capture and store exhaust soot in order to reduce emissions. Over time, the accumulated soot needs to be burned off through a process called regeneration, which occurs either passively during normal vehicle operation or actively through specific engine management strategies. This helps to ensure that the vehicle meets environmental regulations and operates efficiently. Regular maintenance and proper driving conditions are crucial to the effective functioning of a DPF, as failure to do so can lead to clogging and potential engine issues.

DPF Cleaning in York
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) plays a critical role in reducing emissions by trapping soot and other particulate matter from the exhaust. Over time, these particles accumulate and can cause the filter to become clogged, leading to reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
Regular DPF cleaning helps to restore the filter's efficiency, ensuring optimal engine performance and compliance with environmental regulations. We offer an on vehicle cleaning service which takes up to 2 hours. We would need to scan your vehicle for faults first to check for any faulty sensors etc
Why does my DPF keep clogging?
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is designed to capture and store exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel engines. However, it can become clogged for several reasons. One common cause is frequent short trips where the engine doesn't reach the optimal temperature needed for the DPF to regenerate and burn off the accumulated soot. Poor fuel quality or incorrect engine oil can also contribute to faster soot build-up. Additionally, issues like a malfunctioning EGR valve, turbocharger problems, or faulty sensors can prevent proper DPF regeneration. Regular maintenance, using the right fuel and oil, and occasionally driving at higher speeds can help prevent DPF clogging. If the problem persists, it's best to consult us to diagnose and fix any underlying issues.

Can I prevent my DPF clogging?
One of the best ways to prevent your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) from clogging is by ensuring that you drive your vehicle at highway speeds for at least 20 to 30 minutes on a regular basis. This allows the DPF to reach the high temperatures needed to burn off the soot that accumulates during city driving. Additionally, using high-quality diesel fuel and regular maintenance, such as timely oil changes and air filter replacements, can significantly reduce the likelihood of clogging. It's also a good idea to avoid frequent short trips where the engine doesn't have a chance to fully warm up, as this can contribute to soot buildup. By following these practices, you can extend the life of your DPF and maintain the overall health of your vehicle.
Engine light on?
It's always a bit concerning when the engine light comes on, isn't it? This could indicate a variety of issues, ranging from something as simple as a loose fuel cap to more serious engine problems. It's important not to ignore this warning. The best course of action is to get your vehicle checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible. They can run a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact cause and address it before it potentially leads to more significant damage. Taking prompt action can save you time and money in the long run and ensure your vehicle remains safe and reliable.
Glow Plug light
If your car is showing the Glow plug light don’t assume that forking out for a set of new glow plugs will cure the problem.
This is a generic code that points to a great number of various engine components. We can find out the most likely cause of the light by scanning your car and emailing you a report so you can decide on the best course of action to take. We will of course be there to offer advice.
