For a car or van with a soot-blocked filter, cleaning is the place to start.
What changes afterwards
With the soot burnt out, the DPF warning light should go off and the engine gets its power back, so limp mode is no longer holding it back.
The filter can then go back to regenerating normally as you use the vehicle. If something was stopping those regenerations from finishing, we'll mention it, as that's what decides whether the light stays off.
What a DPF clean can and can't fix
A clean deals with soot, the black deposit that builds up when regenerations don't get a chance to finish. Soot is exactly what the cleaning solution and forced regeneration are there to remove.
It can't remove ash, which collects over the filter's whole life, and it can't repair cracked ceramic inside the filter. Our readings show which you're dealing with, and if it's beyond cleaning, you're told before any work starts.
How it works
Book with the registration
Give us the car or van's details plus any warning lights, and an appointment can be agreed.
Readings and a verdict
We read the codes and the soot and pressure figures before deciding whether a clean will work.
Clean, regenerate and recheck
The solution goes in, a forced regeneration burns the soot off, and we clear the codes and check the readings again.
Why book SGR in Crewe
The £275 + VAT price is published on our pricing page and includes the call-out. You'll have it confirmed from your registration before the visit.
The soot and pressure readings are taken before cleaning starts, so you're paying for a clean only when it's likely to help.
What Crewe customers say
How much is DPF cleaning in Crewe?
It's £275 + VAT, including the technician coming to your home or workplace in Crewe.
Is a clean cheaper than a new DPF?
Much cheaper. Cleaning is £275 + VAT in Crewe, against a replacement filter that often costs over £1,000 fitted, depending on the vehicle.
What if the readings show a clean won't work?
We'll explain what the readings show, whether it's ash, a damaged filter or a fault somewhere else, before any cleaning takes place.
Will cleaning stop the light coming back?
It clears the current blockage. Whether it stays clear depends on the cause, such as short trips, a faulty pressure sensor, an EGR or injector fault, or the wrong oil.
Are DPF additives worth trying first?
Shop-bought additives may help a filter that's only lightly sooted, mainly on cars that do plenty of longer journeys. Once the light is on and the soot has packed in, it rarely shifts enough.
Can I have the DPF deleted instead of cleaned?
We offer DPF deletes in Crewe for £220 + VAT, but only for vehicles used off-road or going for export. Our DPF removal guide explains why.
