We offer DPF cleaning in Dursley, for Diesel vehicles that have become a tad choked up. The vast majority of diesel cars, vans and 4x4s have a DPF (diesel particulate filter) and 99.9% of them will experience some form of congestion during their lifetime. The DPF extracts soot from the exhaust fumes and stores it to reduce emissions, systematically regenerating and burning this off when it becomes full. Resulting in that tell-tale puff of black smoke. If an issue has developed, we can help correct it and get your diesel vehicle running smoothly again. Simply give us a call to book your appointment.
DPF regeneration is the process of burning off the soot collected from fumes. Vehicles can perform both passive and active regeneration:
However, when this goes wrong problems can occur.
A reduction in fuel economy, weaker acceleration, poor drive performance, or trouble starting your car, could indicate a blocked diesel particulate filter. Also, in many modern vehicles, a dash light may also indicate a problem. Problems tend to occur if you regularly drive short distances (preventing the regeneration process from completing), consistently drive with low fuel levels, or don’t maintain your vehicle regularly.
We can help with clearing a blocked DPF by performing forced regeneration and chemical cleanses. This will help to eradicate the carbon build-up and restore the system to working order. If that doesn’t cut the mustard, then a replacement filter may be required. Don’t be tempted to disconnect or bypass your DPF though, as this is illegal!
