Hyundai Tucson DPF problems and cleaning
Cleaning the DPF on a diesel Tucson costs £275 + VAT at your home or workplace, against a new filter that's often over £1,000 fitted. A DPF delete is £220 + VAT. Petrol Tucsons with a particulate filter warning can have that filter cleaned too.

What filter cleaning changes on the Tucson
A blocked filter brings on the warning light and can sap power. We soften the soot with a cleaning solution and burn it off with a forced regeneration, leaving the filter in place.
If yours is a petrol Tucson showing a particulate filter warning, see our petrol particulate filter cleaning page.
Is it worth it on a Tucson?
On a Tucson, cleaning is worth trying before a new filter, and our readings confirm whether it'll work. Ash or a crack means a replacement from a garage.
Is cleaning cheaper than a new DPF on a Tucson?
Yes. A diesel clean is £275 + VAT, while a replacement is often over £1,000 fitted.
What if the Tucson's DPF is full of ash?
A clean can't remove ash, so it would need replacing. We'll check before any work.
Is a Tucson DPF delete legal?
Only for a Tucson kept off UK roads or going for export, at £220 + VAT. Our DPF removal guide explains why.
