What changes afterwards
The DPF light should go out once the soot is gone, and the engine's normal power returns. After that, regenerations can work as designed, and we'll mention anything that seemed to be stopping them.
A DPF clean in St Helens is £275 + VAT, which is far less than a new filter at often over £1,000 fitted. We carry it out at your home or workplace and retake the readings afterwards to confirm it's worked.

Soot is what the clean is for. Ash from years of use and cracked ceramic are beyond any clean, and the readings show us which we're dealing with before we start, so you'll know first.
Send the registration and what's happening with the vehicle.
Codes and soot and pressure readings confirm whether to clean.
We clean in place, clear the codes and take the readings again.
Our pricing page shows the £275 + VAT cost, and we confirm it against your registration. The clean only goes ahead once the readings show the filter needs it.
It's £275 + VAT, and we come to your home or workplace in St Helens for that price.
Considerably. A replacement is often over £1,000 fitted, depending on the vehicle.
We'll explain what's wrong, such as ash, a cracked filter or a separate fault, before doing any cleaning.
No. The delete is for off-road and export use only, and our DPF removal guide explains why.
Pass us the registration and describe what the car or van is doing, and a St Helens visit can be arranged. We cover St Helens and the rest of Merseyside, and our main DPF cleaning page has more detail.
