Same-Day DPF Cleaning – Three-Stage Flush & Forced Regen
On-Car DPF Cleaning
How Our On-Car DPF Clean Works
Drive into our Hanley garage and relax while we restore your filter. The DPF stays on the car, so there’s no risk of snapped bolts or extra labour.
- Dealer-grade scan – live soot and back-pressure data before we start
- Three-stage chemical flush – breaks down soot and ash inside the filter
- Controlled forced regen – burns the loosened deposits at the right temp
- Proof on screen – watch kPa drop and the warning lamp clear
- Fixed price £200 – no extras, no surprise “chemical” fees
- While-you-wait – most cars done in 60-90 minutes
Why Drivers Book Us
Cleaner Flow,
Stronger Pull
A blocked filter strangles the turbo and sends fuel use soaring. Our on-car clean drops back-pressure in minutes and proves it on screen—no new parts, no guesswork. Call 07503 134 362 or book online to feel the difference on your drive home.
A clogged DPF can reach 40 kPa at 2 000 rpm. The turbo works overtime, EGTs spike, and the ECU reins in boost and fuelling. After our three-stage flush and controlled regen, pressure often falls below 6 kPa—right back to factory spec. Drivers notice sharper throttle, stronger mid-range pull and as much as 5 % better MPG on the same commute.
Cleaning early also protects the rest of the exhaust system. Lower heat stops sensors cooking and prevents soot snowballing into a cracked filter core or failed turbo seals. For MOTs, a free-flowing DPF keeps smoke opacity well under the limit and clears that dreaded warning lamp.
Put simply: one garage visit, £200 fixed price, and your diesel breathes free again—without a £1 000 replacement filter.
Vehicles We Clean
Most Often
We can clean nearly any diesel fitted with a DPF, but these makes and models roll into the bay week after week.
Ford Transit 2.0 EcoBlue
Stop-start courier runs clog the DPF to 200 % soot load; van drops into limp and shows P2463 until we flush it.
VW Golf 2.0 TDI
Short commutes push passive regens to fail; back-pressure hits 30 kPa at 2 000 rpm and the DPF lamp flashes.
BMW 320d (B47)
Low-ash oil change skipped; ash packs the filter, triggers “Drive Train Fault” and throttles turbo boost.
Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6 CDTi
Urban idling loads soot fast; ECU logs 100 % filter saturation and limits revs to 2 500 rpm.
Mercedes Sprinter 2.1 CDI
Long idle stops regen temp from reaching 600 °C; soot bricks the core and sets P2002 efficiency code.
Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi
School-run use blocks the filter every 8 weeks; forced regens fail and the EML stays on until a deep clean.
Why It Matters
Healthy Turbo
A blocked DPF can trap exhaust at more than 30 kPa. That extra pressure slows turbo spool, cooks exhaust sensors and pushes EGTs through the roof. Our on-car clean drops the back-pressure to factory figures in a single visit, giving the turbo room to breathe and cutting heat stress on every mile.
With flow restored, the ECU stops choking fuel and boost. You feel sharper throttle, see lower soot build-up and often gain 3–5 % mpg on the same commute. A clear filter also keeps smoke opacity under the MOT limit and stops the warning lamp from nagging you every few weeks.
Spend £200 now, avoid the £1 000 cost of a replacement filter and the downtime that comes with it.
Have Questions About On-Car DPF Cleaning?
Straight Answers Before We Clean
Is the £200 price fixed?
How long does it take?
Will the DPF stay on the car?
What if the filter is cracked or melted?
If live data or borescope checks show internal damage, we’ll advise an off-car refurbishment or replacement instead of the on-car clean.
Do you reset the ECU after the clean?
We clear fault codes, reset ash/soot counters and adaptation values, so the ECU starts fresh.
