Restore Your Diesel's Performance with AB Automotive
If your diesel has lost power, is showing a DPF warning light, or has dropped into limp mode, a blocked diesel particulate filter is a common cause. We provide DPF cleaning in Cleland to clear the build-up and get your car running as it should again.
What a DPF Does and Why It Blocks
The DPF sits in the exhaust and traps soot, so it doesn't leave the tailpipe. Normally, the filter burns this soot off during longer drives at a steady speed, a process called regeneration. Cars that mostly do short trips, school runs, or stop-start town driving rarely get hot enough for this to happen, so the soot keeps collecting until the filter clogs.
Leaving a blocked filter too long can put extra strain on the engine and turbo. A filter that's badly clogged may need replacing rather than cleaning, which costs a great deal more, so getting it looked at early keeps your options open.
Signs Your Filter Needs Attention
A DPF warning light on the dashboard
Reduced power or the car going into limp mode
Poorer fuel economy than usual
A strong smell from the exhaust
Diagnose First, Then Clean
Every DPF job starts with a diagnostic check. A blocked filter is sometimes the result of another fault, such as a faulty pressure sensor or EGR valve, and cleaning alone won't stop it happening again if that cause is left in place. Once we know the full picture, we'll explain your options clearly. Cleaning usually costs much less than fitting a new filter, and we'll only suggest replacement if the filter is damaged beyond cleaning.
Afterwards, a regular longer drive, such as a steady run along the M8, helps the filter keep itself clear between visits.
