Audi A5 DPF problems and cleaning
We clean A5 DPFs at your home or in the car park at work, with nothing removed from the car. Most cleans are done within 60 to 90 minutes, and a new warning light can often be seen the same day.

About the A5 DPF clean
A diesel A5 that mostly covers short distances doesn't get its filter hot enough to burn the soot off, so the warning light eventually comes on. Our clean clears that soot with the filter still fitted, costing far less than a replacement.
If the filter is full of ash or cracked, cleaning won't fix it, and we'll tell you first. A DPF delete is £220 + VAT.
At home or at work
The A5 needs to be somewhere safe for the engine to idle and rev under control for an hour or so.
- On a driveway or a quiet road outside your home
- In a work car park, with permission from whoever runs it
- At any other address where the car will be that day
Why book SGR
Booking a garage for a DPF warning can leave you without the car for days. We clean on site in 60 to 90 minutes for most cars, often the same day for a warning light, with £2 million of insurance cover.
Reviews
Can you clean my A5's DPF at work?
Yes, if the car is parked somewhere safe and the site is happy for us to work there. Most people hand over the keys and get on with their day.
Do I need to be with the A5 during the visit?
Only at the start and end. We need the keys to begin, and we'll walk you through the readings when we've finished.
Can you check what blocked the A5's filter?
Yes, the codes and live data usually show the cause. Where it needs more tracing, our diagnostics cost £100 + VAT.
How do I stop the A5's DPF blocking again?
Mix in a longer steady run regularly and let regenerations complete. If we find a sensor or EGR fault, getting it fixed keeps the filter clearer for longer.
Who is the A5 DPF delete for?
Only A5s used off-road or heading for export, as a road car must keep its filter. Our DPF removal guide explains the law.
