Ford Kuga DPF problems and cleaning
Yes, we clean the DPF on diesel Kugas at your home or workplace, with the filter left in place. A clean costs £275 + VAT and most are finished in 60 to 90 minutes. Visits run across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and Huddersfield.
What we can do on the Kuga
DPF cleaning for £275 + VAT
We soften the built-up soot with a cleaning solution and then burn it out with a forced regeneration, all without removing the filter.
Diagnostics for £100 + VAT
When the light keeps returning, a full check of the codes and live data shows what's loading the filter so quickly.
DPF delete for £220 + VAT
The filter's monitoring and regeneration are switched off in the ECU.
Kuga versions we work on
We clean filters on diesel Kugas of most ages. If the dash is showing "exhaust filter overloaded" or a DPF light, the cause is normally soot, and that's what a clean deals with.
Engines and ECUs differ between Kuga versions, so give us the registration and we'll confirm what's possible on yours before you book.
How it works
Book with your registration
Let us know what the warning says and whether the car has lost power.
We meet the car
On your driveway, outside your house or in a work car park, wherever the Kuga can idle safely.
Check, then clean
We read the codes and soot load to confirm a clean will work, then add the solution and run the regeneration.
Clear and hand back
Codes are cleared, the readings are checked again and we talk you through what we found.
Why book SGR for your Kuga
- No need to take the Kuga anywhere, as the clean happens where it's parked
- 60 to 90 minutes on most visits
- Fully insured to £2 million
- We work on cars and vans of most makes, so a second vehicle can often be booked on the same visit
Can you clean the DPF on my Kuga?
Most blocked Kuga filters respond well to a clean. The exceptions are filters full of ash or cracked inside, and our readings pick those up before we start.
How long does a Kuga DPF clean take?
Usually 60 to 90 minutes, including the checks before and after. A heavily blocked filter may need a little longer for the regeneration to finish.
What does a Kuga DPF clean cost?
The clean is £275 + VAT, carried out at your home or workplace. A delete is £220 + VAT.
Does the DPF have to come off?
No, it stays fitted to the Kuga. That keeps the cost down and means the car is ready to use again as soon as we've finished.
Can my Kuga stay on the road after a DPF delete?
No, it's illegal on a road-going Kuga, so we only delete the filter on cars kept off-road or going for export. Our DPF removal guide explains the law.
Book your Kuga DPF clean
