Modern diesel vehicles are fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), designed to capture harmful soot particles from the exhaust system. Over time, these filters can become blocked, particularly on vehicles that are mainly used for short journeys or urban driving where the engine does not reach the temperatures required for automatic regeneration.
A blocked DPF can lead to warning lights, reduced engine performance, poor fuel economy, and in some cases costly repair bills if left untreated. It may also result in an MOT failure if the emissions system is not functioning correctly.
At Lewis Russell Ltd, we have invested in advanced DPF cleaning equipment that allows us to restore blocked filters quickly and effectively. Our specialist cleaning process removes accumulated soot and ash, helping to improve vehicle performance and extend the life of the DPF.
Compared with the cost of replacing a DPF, professional cleaning offers a far more affordable solution. In most cases, the process can be completed in under two hours, getting you back on the road with minimal disruption.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A DPF CLEANING?
Here are some potential benefits of getting a diesel particulate filter (DPF) clean at our car garage in Telford:
Improved engine performance - Over time, soot and ash can build up in the DPF and restrict exhaust flow, affecting engine power and efficiency. A proper DPF clean will remove these deposits.
Reduced emissions - A clogged DPF can't properly filter exhaust emissions. Cleaning it allows the DPF to reduce environmental pollution from the vehicle again.
Avoiding damage - Excessive DPF clogging could require replacement of the entire filter. A periodic clean helps prevent expensive damage.
Clearing warning lights - A blocked DPF often triggers warning lights on the dashboard. Cleaning can clear these alerts.
Fuel savings - The improved engine performance after a DPF clean can lead to reduced fuel usage and cost savings at the pump.
Peace of mind - Drivers know their vehicle's emissions system is operating as intended after a professional DPF clean.
