DPF Cleaning & Removal Options

DPFs commonly become blocked due to frequent short journeys that do not allow regeneration to complete, underlying engine or sensor faults, or internal DPF damage and cracking. We offer three different solutions depending on the condition of the vehicle and the DPF.

Option 1 – On-Car DPF Cleaning – £350

Includes:

  • 1 hour of diagnostics and testing
  • Smoke test of the intake system
  • Fault code analysis
  • Exhaust inspection to identify signs of a cracked DPF
  • On-car DPF cleaning process

Before carrying out any DPF cleaning, it is essential that we complete a number of checks to ensure there are no underlying faults causing the blockage.

Provided no major issues are found, we can perform an on-car DPF clean to remove soot build-up and help restore performance.

If any underlying faults are identified during testing, we can either provide a repair quotation or carry out further diagnostics at £100 + VAT per hour. Up to 1 hour of diagnostic and repair time is included within the £350 package.

Option 2 – Off-Car DPF Machine Cleaning

We offer professional off-car DPF cleaning using our £12,000 specialist DPF cleaning machine. The advantage of this process is that it removes both soot and ash build-up, restoring the DPF much closer to its original efficiency.

Pricing

  • Initial diagnostics (as above): £100
  • DPF machine cleaning: £250*
  • DPF removal and refitting labour: £100 per hour*

*Labour time can vary significantly depending on the vehicle and typically ranges from 2–10 hours. Please provide your registration number for an accurate quotation.

*Whilst DPF cleaning is highly effective at removing soot and ash build-up, it is important to understand that we cannot guarantee or provide a warranty on any DPF cleaning service.

Modern DPF systems are unfortunately prone to problems and can become blocked due to a wide range of factors, including driving style, sensor faults, air leaks, boost leaks, injector issues, EGR faults and other underlying mechanical problems. In many cases, multiple small issues can contribute to a DPF becoming blocked.

We take DPF diagnosis and cleaning seriously and have successfully carried out thousands of DPF cleans. However, we believe in being completely transparent with our customers regarding the risks and available options. Even after a successful clean, there is always a possibility that the DPF could become blocked again in the future if an underlying fault develops or remains present.

Once the DPF has been successfully cleaned and any underlying faults have been repaired, the vehicle should be able to regenerate correctly and clean the DPF automatically, typically every 150–200 miles depending on driving conditions and vehicle usage.

This option is often recommended where the DPF contains a high ash load that cannot be removed through normal regeneration or on-car cleaning methods.

Option 3 – DPF Removal Solution – £590* (Most Vehicles)

Includes:

  • Physical DPF removal
  • DPF system switched off within the ECU software
  • EGR system switched off via software/remap

Included Benefits

  • Lifetime warranty against future DPF-related faults
  • Lifetime warranty against future EGR-related faults

We recommend reading our article regarding the legalities surrounding DPF removal: DPF Removal Information.

*Most vehicles can be completed for this price. Some vehicles may require additional labour or parts. Please contact us with your registration number for an accurate quotation.
