The Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device installed in modern diesel car' exhaust systems to collect particulate matter and soot that the engine emits. The DPF accumulates ash, soot, and other deposits over time and if constricted, back pressure increases, and engine performance decreases. 


Regeneration inside the DPF causes these particles to be removed, but temperature must reach above 600°C to 800°C for full soot removal and oxidation. Over time this leads to reduced engine performance and fuel economy.



DPF removal is a process that remove your DPF. Our expert technicians start by identifying any faults in your DPF system. We recommend the best solution for your vehicles whether that is to fully remove your DPF or apply a software change to your vehicle’s ECU. Before any ECU change, we back up the original software before making ay changes to your vehicle.


For legal compliance in public road cars, we strongly recommend DPF cleaning to prevent blockages. Removing a DPF is legal for off-road and track vehicles only. We also provide forced DPF regeneration services. Forced regeneration forces the DPF to burn off soot at a high temperature when normal regeneration fails. If your car regularly does short trips and the DPF keeps clogging, an economy remap, driving change or a professional DPF clean often saves more money and stress than DPF removal.

    DPF Removal FAQs

    • What causes DPF to become blocked?

      The main cause for a clogged DPF is due to soot and ash build up. This happens to diesel cars because a high engine temperature is required for passive regeneration of the DPF. If your car only does short trips or exposed to cold temperatures, it can never reach those high temperatures. Other causes of a blocked DPF are problems with the turbo or EGR system

    • Is DPF removal illegal in the UK?

      The removal of DPF is illegal in the UK according to the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations of 1986. However DPF removal is permitted for off-road, track vehicles and racing cars only
