DPF Cleaning
What Is a DPF and Why Should You Care?
Your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is designed to capture harmful soot particles from your diesel vehicle’s exhaust. Over time, especially with stop-start or short trips, the DPF can clog. A blocked DPF leads to:
-
Engine warning lights or limp mode
-
High fuel consumption
-
Power loss
-
MOT failures due to emissions
-
Risk of turbo, EGR, or injector damage
At MB Motors Staffordshire, we help diesel drivers in Rugeley and surrounding areas avoid breakdowns and expensive repairs with advanced, professional DPF cleaning services.
Our Expert DPF Cleaning Process
We go far beyond just clearing a dashboard light. Here’s how we clean your DPF, the right way:
Step 1: Full Diagnostic Testing
We scan your vehicle for fault codes, sensor errors, soot levels, and temperature readings using dealer-level tools.
Step 2: DPF Regeneration or On-Car Cleaning
We perform a forced regeneration to burn off light soot or use specialist solutions to break down carbon inside the filter while it’s still fitted.
Step 3: Off-Vehicle DPF Cleaning
If your filter is heavily blocked, we remove it and use powerful, industry-grade machinery to deep-clean it—removing ash, soot, and residue fully.
Step 4: Refit, Test & Road Check
We reinstall the DPF, reset all codes, clear any warning lights, and road test the vehicle. You drive away with full power and peace of mind.
