Professional Equipment

We use a Professional DPF Cleaning Machine for our off-car process. This industry-grade system uses controlled flow, temperature, and filtration to safely remove soot and ash while protecting the substrate.

  • Effective on soot and ash build-up (unlike basic forced regens)
  • Suitable for most car, van, and light commercial DPFs

Which Service Should I Choose?

  • Warning light just came on / early blockage: Start with DPF Diagnostics (£89). Often resolved with On-Car Cleaning (from £199 + VAT) if the filter is healthy.
  • Repeated regens / limp mode / heavy ash load: Off-Car Deep Cleaning (from £299 + VAT) for the most thorough result.
  • Garage or trade customer with DPF removed already: Bring-Your-Own DPF (£180 + VAT) for fast machine cleaning.

What’s Included

  • Diagnostics: OBD scan, live data checks, regen status review, recommendations.
  • On-Car Clean: Targeted chemistry, controlled regen, post-clean data check.
  • Off-Car Deep Clean: Remove/refit (if booked), machine clean,  reset/adaptation where applicable.
  • Bring-Your-Own: Machine clean, ready for refit.

Benefits of a Proper DPF Clean

  • Restores engine performance & drivability
  • Helps reduce fuel consumption
  • Lowers emissions and helps pass MOT
  • Extends DPF lifespan and prevents costly replacements

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a DPF clean fix my warning light?

Often, yes—provided the DPF is structurally sound and underlying causes (e.g., faulty sensors, EGR/boost issues) are addressed. That’s why we recommend starting with diagnostics.

What’s the difference between on-car and off-car cleaning?

On-car cleaning targets soot and can work well for early blockages. Off-car deep cleaning uses our MET Clean machine to remove both soot and ash and provides a significant flow improvement.

How long does it take?

Diagnostics typically 30–60 minutes. On-car cleaning 1–2 hours. Off-car deep clean usually same-day (depending on removal/refit and condition). BYO DPF cleans can be turned around quickly—ask for current lead time.
