What Is a DPF and Why Does It Matter?
A Diesel Particulate Filter is a key component in modern diesel engines. It traps harmful soot particles from your exhaust to reduce emissions. Over time, the filter can become clogged – especially if the vehicle is used for short journeys or stop-start driving.
A blocked DPF can lead to:
- Reduced engine performance
- Increased fuel consumption
- Dashboard warning lights
- Risk of engine damage
- MOT failure due to emissions
Our DPF cleaning service helps you avoid these issues and keeps your diesel running clean and smooth.
Signs Your DPF Needs Cleaning
Not sure if your DPF is the problem? Look out for:
- Loss of power or sluggish acceleration
- Poor fuel economy
- Excessive smoke from the exhaust
- DPF or engine warning lights
