Kia DPF problems and cleaning

A DPF warning light on a diesel Kia means the filter is clogging up and needs attention before power is cut. We clean Kia filters at your home or workplace for £275 + VAT, and we clean petrol particulate filters too.

Kia models we have pages for

Other diesel Kias, and petrol models with a particulate filter, can be checked from the registration.

DPF cleaning for Kia

Diesel filters burn off their soot in regenerations, which need a hot exhaust and a steady run. Short trips, sensor faults, EGR or injector trouble and oil in the exhaust all leave the job unfinished, and the light comes on.

If the warning on your Kia relates to a petrol particulate filter, the same idea applies. Our petrol particulate filter cleaning service covers GPF and OPF filters, and we'll quote once we've seen the registration.

Frequently asked questions

Can you clean the DPF on any Kia diesel?

On most, as long as the blockage is soot rather than ash or a crack. The readings show which, so you won't pay for a clean that won't work.

How much is DPF cleaning for a Kia?

A diesel DPF clean is £275 + VAT on site. Petrol filter cleaning is priced once we know the car.

What does the DPF warning mean on a Kia?

The filter is fuller than it should be and normal use hasn't cleared it. If the light stays on after a longer run, book a clean before the car goes into limp mode. See our DPF warning light guide.

Is a DPF delete on a Kia road legal?

No. We only delete the DPF on a Kia kept off-road or going for export, so read our DPF removal law guide before choosing one.
