What changes afterwards
Once clean, the filter should stop triggering the warning light, and the engine gets its pulling power back. Regenerations can then carry on as normal, and if something was stopping them, we'll tell you.
For £275 + VAT, we'll clean a blocked DPF in Oldham with the filter left fitted, compared with a new one that often costs over £1,000 fitted. The work happens at your home or workplace, and we recheck the readings before leaving.

It removes today's blockage. Keeping it clear means dealing with the cause, whether short trips, a sensor or engine fault, or the wrong oil.
They can help a filter that's only lightly sooted. Once the light is on and the soot is packed in, an additive seldom clears it.
