Overview
Our 3-step cleaning process is fast, effective and a much cheaper alternative to DPF replacement. Cleaning is carried out on the vehicle; on average, cleaning a completely blocked filter is completed within 2 hours. DPF industrial cleaning is also available as a comprehensive off-vehicle option.
How It Works
Step 1 — Advanced Diagnostics
Before cleaning, our technicians perform advanced troubleshooting and diagnostic steps to ascertain the condition and functionality of all components and sensors related to the DPF, ensuring a clean will rectify your vehicle's fault. Differential pressure of the filter is checked and recorded to gauge how blocked it is and provide a reference for comparison after cleaning.
Step 2 — DPF Clean & Flushing
A fuel treatment designed to aid cleaning and lower the required regeneration temperature is added to the fuel tank. Using our specialist European-designed equipment, the cleaning agent is injected directly into the DPF and allowed to soak. We run the engine at high idle to work the solution through the filter, clearing the blockage and expelling foam and carbon from the tail pipe, finishing with a flush injected directly into the DPF.
Step 3 — Regeneration & Analysis
A forced or manual regeneration is carried out so correct function of the DPF can be observed and live data monitored. Differential pressure is recorded and compared to the original data noted before cleaning to confirm an effective clean has been completed.
DPF maintenance tip — drive smart to avoid costly repairs. Short trips and stop-start driving clog your DPF faster. We recommend regular highway driving at steady speeds to allow proper regeneration; if you mainly drive in the city, take your vehicle for a longer drive every few weeks to help burn off trapped soot.
