Signs of a DPF problem
  • A DPF or engine warning light
  • Loss of power or limp mode
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Excessive smoke from the exhaust
  • Frequent or failed regeneration
What we do

We diagnose the DPF and what's causing the blockage, clean or repair the filter, and fix the underlying issue, because a clean alone won't last if the cause is still there.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your vehicle and whether it needs a clean or a replacement. We diagnose first, then quote before any work starts.
