Common DPF Questions — Answered by Pros
What causes a DPF to block? Short trips, stop-start driving, failed regenerations, or poor fuel quality can lead to heavy soot buildup. Our team can help you identify the likely cause and avoid repeat issues.
When should a DPF be cleaned? If your customer is experiencing loss of power, warning lights, or backpressure faults — it’s likely time for a clean. Many garages schedule DPF cleaning alongside annual servicing or MOT prep.
Can cleaning really restore filter function? Yes — restoring airflow performance is almost always possible. Our system consistently achieves up to 98% recovery, and at a fraction of the cost of replacing the filter.
