DPF Regeneration

DPF Regeneration – Diesel Particlate Filter Regeneration

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a filter that captures and stores exhaust soot (some refer to them as soot traps) in order to reduce emissions from diesel cars. But because they only have a finite capacity, this trapped soot periodically has to be emptied or ‘burned off’ to regenerate the DPF. This regeneration process cleanly burns off the excess soot deposited in the filter, reducing the harmful exhaust emission and helps to prevent the tell-tale black smoke you used to see from diesel vehicles, particularly when accelerating.

If your DPF light is on, do not get a DPF clean until your underlying faults are identified and fixed.

A blocked DPF is always caused by another fault. Until you find & fix that fault, your DPF will continue to block.

Our industry-leading DPF Assessment will identify these faults and get to the root cause of your DPF problem – for a first-time fix.

We save you time, disruption, hassle and money.

If your warning light continues to stay on, turns red, or additional DPF lights come on, do not leave it too long before getting it checked out.
