A blocked DPF filter can cause serious performance issues and increased emissions. At DPF Clean Team, we specialise in resolving blocked DPFs to restore your vehicle’s efficiency. If your DPF filter is blocked, our expert technicians can provide thorough cleaning or repair to resolve the issue.
Recognising the symptoms of a blocked DPF early can prevent costly damage. Some key blocked DPF symptoms include:

A blocked DPF filter restricts exhaust flow, reducing engine performance and causing sluggish acceleration, which can lead to increased strain on your vehicle.
When the DPF is blocked, the engine compensates by using more fuel to maintain power, resulting in noticeably higher fuel consumption and reduced efficiency.
A diesel particulate filter blocked with soot causes dark, excessive smoke from the exhaust, indicating that the filter is not functioning properly.
Your garage or fleet management team will first inspect your vehicle for symptoms of a blocked diesel particulate filter (DPF), such as reduced performance or warning lights. Once confirmed, our team uses advanced techniques to clean or repair the blocked DPF filter, ensuring your vehicle returns to optimal efficiency and meets emissions standards.
Yes, all blocked DPF cleaning services provided by DPF Clean Team come with a 12-month warranty. This guarantee ensures the cleaning process delivers long-lasting results, giving you confidence in the reliability and performance of your vehicle.
Absolutely. A clean DPF filter allows exhaust gases to flow freely, reducing engine strain and enhancing overall efficiency. This improvement not only saves fuel but also reduces emissions, making your vehicle more environmentally friendly.
The time required for cleaning depends on the level of blockage. For standard soot and ash blockages, the process typically takes 48 hours from collection to delivery. In cases of oil or AdBlue contamination, the process may take up to 72 hours.
In most cases, cleaning is a more cost-effective and efficient solution compared to replacement. Professional DPF cleaning restores the filter’s functionality, removing accumulated soot and ash. However, if the filter is physically damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Yes, leaving a DPF blocked for too long can cause significant engine issues. Restricted exhaust flow increases engine backpressure, which can damage key components like the turbocharger and exhaust manifold. Timely cleaning is crucial to prevent these costly repairs.
With a proven track record of successful cleaning services and a team of experienced technicians, DPF Clean Team offers reliable solutions tailored to your vehicle’s needs. Our process includes diagnostics, advanced cleaning techniques and post-clean testing to ensure optimal performance.
Contact our team today to discuss your blocked DPF concerns. Whether you need cleaning, advice or replacement options, we’re here to help.
Deciding between DPF cleaning, repair or replacement depends on your vehicle’s condition and needs. Regular cleaning is ideal for maintenance, while repair can address minor issues. 
The catalytic converter (CAT converter) is a vital component of your vehicle’s exhaust system. Its primary function is to reduce harmful emissions by converting pollutants into less harmful gases before they exit the exhaust.
Diesel engines rely on several systems to control emissions and maintain performance. Among the most vital components are the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve and the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). 
Routine maintenance for diesel engines goes beyond simple oil changes. One essential service is EGR Valve Cleaning, which is necessary to keep the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve free from carbon buildup.
