Why diesels here block their DPFs
A diesel particulate filter cleans itself by burning off soot on longer, faster runs. Lots of short trips around town, or stop-start driving between villages, never let it get hot enough, so the soot builds up until the warning light comes on.
We read the fault codes and live data to check how blocked the filter really is, and look for the faults that cause blockages in the first place, such as sensors, EGR valves and injectors. Then we explain what we found and talk you through the options before doing any work.
Caught early, a forced regeneration or clean usually sorts it. Ignored, a blocked DPF can mean limp mode and much bigger bills.

Common questions
Can I keep driving with the DPF light on?
Usually for a short while, and a long steady run at a constant speed can sometimes clear it. If the light stays on, flashes, or the car goes into limp mode, get it checked before it gets worse.
What causes a DPF to block?
Mostly short journeys that never let the filter get hot enough to burn off soot. Faulty sensors, EGR valves or injectors can also cause it.
Is DPF removal legal?
No. Removing a DPF from a car that had one fitted is illegal for road use and an automatic MOT fail. We clean and repair DPFs, we don’t remove them.
