Often yes. Removing soot reduces back-pressure and helps the engine run more efficiently, which commonly improves MPG. Exact gains vary by vehicle and driving habits. Cleaning also prevents expensive faults that can make MPG worse over time.

When soot is a problem, the majority of contemporary diesel automobiles, vans, and light commercial vehicles with a DPF can benefit from cleaning. It can be necessary to repair the DPF if it is physically damaged or if the ash level is too high. We'll tell you whether cleaning is likely to solve it if you tell us your make, model, and registration.

AdBlue is a liquid solution that diesel cars inject into their exhaust in order to reduce nitric oxide emissions.

Before we begin, we inform clients of anticipated timelines. Depending on how clogged the filter is and whether additional tests are required, on-site jobs (forced regen or on-car chemical clean) often take one to three hours. The car might need to be kept longer or brought back to a workshop if the DPF needs to be removed for a treatment or off-car clean

As soon as the car's performance declines or warning lights show, get it checked. Early intervention frequently allows for forced regeneration or cleaning to save the filter. The sooner you take action, the more likely it is that a clean will be successful. Don't disregard frequent limp modes or repeated regeneration alerts.

There are do-it-yourself choices, but they are risky. Inadequate cleaning, dangerous chemicals, or improper processes can render the filter useless and harm the turbo or sensors. To safeguard the engine and exhaust, professional cleaning use the proper fluids, pressure settings, and diagnostic tests. Unless you have clear understanding and specialised equipment, we advise professional service.
