DPF cleaning and regeneration in Luton

The diesel particulate filter traps soot from your exhaust and normally burns it off on longer drives. Lots of short journeys stop that happening, the filter clogs, and you get a warning light, limp mode and poor economy.

Before spending on a replacement, which can be very expensive, it is well worth trying a professional clean. We diagnose the cause, carry out a forced regeneration or a deep clean, and check that the filter is working as it should.

As auto electrical specialists we also read the sensors and pressure readings behind the DPF light, so we fix the real cause and reduce the chance of it blocking straight back up.

What we do

Diagnosis, cleaning and prevention to get your filter flowing freely again.

DPF diagnosis

A controlled burn off to clear soot when your driving cannot.

Deep clean

A thorough clean for heavier blockages, restoring flow and performance.

Warning light fixes

Prevention advice

Good to know

DPF questions, answered

What causes a blocked DPF?
Mostly lots of short, low speed journeys that never let the filter burn off soot. Faulty sensors and other engine faults can also play a part.
Can a blocked DPF be cleaned?
In many cases yes. A forced regeneration or deep clean can restore a filter that is not too far gone, saving the cost of a replacement.
Will cleaning fix the warning light?
Once the filter is clear and the sensors check out, we can reset the light. If a sensor is at fault we fix that too.
How can I stop it happening again?
Regular longer drives, the correct oil and keeping on top of servicing all help. We will give you tailored advice.
