DPF delete across Manchester
Unsure whether a DPF delete is the right call? We start every Manchester enquiry by asking about the vehicle and the filter, because the delete is a £220 + VAT software change. If a clean will sort the problem, we'll point you to that instead.
What we check before a DPF delete in Manchester
The vehicle and its history
We ask how it's used and what's happened with the filter so far, including any past cleans.
ECU read and codes checked
At your home or workplace, the technician reads the ECU and looks at the stored fault codes before changing anything.
The delete is written
Regeneration and filter monitoring are switched off in the software, and DPF codes are cleared.
Codes rechecked
We make sure the warning light is out and no DPF codes return before leaving.
When a DPF clean won't be enough
Cleaning is always the first thing to look at. These are the situations where it can't do the job.
Ash build-up
Ash collects over the filter's life and can't be burnt off by any clean or regeneration.
Cracked or melted ceramic
Damage inside the filter can't be repaired by cleaning, however well it's done.
Blocking again within weeks
When a filter clogs again soon after cleaning, a further clean is unlikely to keep it clear.
An engine fault overloading it
If the engine is producing soot faster than the filter can clear it, that fault needs fixing first.
In any of these situations, the choice is between a replacement filter, often over £1,000 fitted, and the delete.

A clean suggested when it's the right fix
If a clean will do the job, we'll recommend DPF cleaning at £275 + VAT and explain why.
Who is a DPF delete for?
Track and competition cars, and vehicles whose filter has failed or keeps blocking after cleaning.
Is a DPF delete legal on a road car?
No. A car or van on UK roads must keep a working DPF, and an MOT tester will look for one that's missing or tampered with. Our delete is for off-road and export use only, and our guide on whether DPF removal is legal covers the rules.
Should I try a DPF clean first?
In most cases, yes. Our mobile DPF cleaning in Manchester is £275 + VAT and deals with most soot blockages, with readings taken first to show whether it will work.
