Blocked DPF

Why Regular Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaning Matters

Short trips, stop-start driving and idling can quickly clog your DPF, PPF, CAT or EGR valve, reducing engine performance and fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance ensures your emission system runs smoothly and avoids costly repairs.

Benefits of Regular Cleaning:

  1. Improved fuel efficiency – Save on fuel costs by maintaining optimal engine performance.
  2. Extended engine lifespan – Reduce wear and tear caused by clogged filters and valves.
  3. Lower emissions – Stay compliant with emission standards and reduce your environmental impact.
  4. Avoid costly repairs – Prevent expensive part replacements with regular cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

We provide professional DPF cleaning, repair and replacement services for cars, vans, HGVs and commercial vehicles. We can also assist with PPF, catalytic converter, EGR and SCR system cleaning and repairs.

Common signs include a DPF warning light, reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, frequent regeneration problems or your vehicle entering limp mode. A professional diagnosis can help identify the underlying issue.

Not always. Many blocked DPFs can be professionally cleaned, but the best solution depends on the condition of the filter. If it has significant internal or physical damage, repair or replacement may be necessary.

DPF cleaning focuses on removing soot, ash and other contaminants that restrict exhaust flow. DPF repair addresses physical or mechanical issues, such as damaged flexi pipes, sensor threads or other components.

Yes. The DPF should be removed by your garage, mechanic or fleet maintenance provider. We can then arrange collection directly from them and return the serviced unit ready for refitting.

Once the vehicle has been diagnosed and the component removed, we collect it from your garage or service centre. Our specialists inspect, clean, repair or replace the unit as required, carry out testing and return it ready for reinstallation.

Yes. We work with domestic vehicles, vans, commercial fleets, HGVs and other diesel-powered vehicles. We also provide specialist cleaning for larger emission system components

Removing soot and ash blockages can help restore exhaust flow and improve engine performance and fuel efficiency. However, it is important that any underlying fault causing the DPF blockage is also identified and resolved.

Where the DPF is suitable for cleaning or repair, restoring the existing unit can be a more cost-effective alternative to replacement. If the filter is beyond repair, we can advise on suitable replacement options.

DPF Clean Team provides a 12-month guarantee on its services, giving customers added confidence in the work carried out. The team also tests serviced components to ensure they are functioning correctly before they are returned.
