This is not untypical of the enquiries which we, as a dealer, get from people with lights on.......

"My light is on. Can you clean my DPF? How much to clean my DPF?"

It would be simple to answer the question asked and clean the DPF. But as experts we know that the light can come on for various reasons, and cleaning the DPF may NOT resolve the problem.

The light is on because there is a fault in the DPF system, not necessarily because it needs a clean.

Diagnostics, correct identification of the problem - which is not just reading the tool output - but applying knowledge and experience, is the key. Then appropriate action to remove the problems, is what the vehicle needs.

In this instance no clean needed, saving the owner £££s. A forced regeneration, oil and oil filter change, and a new air filter - along with a software reset & the problem was resolved.

Alarmingly though this air filter was changed not long ago.

Had the clean been done, as the owner was asking, the vehicle would have been back again with the same DPF blocked again very soon.

As TerraClean dealers, and responsible professionals, we identify and address the causes of problems - not just treat the symptoms.

For more information just ask for further details of how we can help you.

💨 This Ford Ranger was transported in to one of our fellow dealers with a completely . The truck wouldn’t even run! There are those in the trade who would remove it (making vehicle illegal for use on public roads). There are those who would suggest it was beyond economical repair and offer to replace it.

The key to getting the best result for the owner was professional by a technician with the knowledge and understanding of DPF technology.
TerraClean dealers have the knowledge and experience required and a massive network of other dealers to use as a knowledge bank if needed.

Diagnostics done - 🔥 A few hours later, the DPF was restored to full functionality without the need of being removed or replaced. Saving the owner £££s.

It is very common in the TerraClean network for dealers such as ourselves to be presented with vehicles with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) related problems. Cars which have been to other garages or are even being brought to us by other garages - who simply cannot resolve the problems.

We can, because we have the knowledge and experience - plus the technical support, if required, of hundreds of other TC dealers.

Here are examples; 2 vehicles which one of our fellow dealers recently resolved and got back on the road, fully operational - faults resolved and without any warning lights.

A & a Ford

Landrover DPFs are known to block, often due to driving style. This one also had a kinked pressure pipe where another garage had attempted to repair the fault! Fixed the pipe, carried out a clean and ensured the vehicle was able to regenerate on its own .

The Ford Ranger had to be towed into them with an engine warning light on. Diagnosed with a blocked DPF due to depleted Adblue. They carried out a clean, topped up the AdBlue and carried out a re-gen. Another happy customer . All done quickly - because they knew what to do.

If your vehicle has a warning light, don't go round the houses, come to us, your local operator first. Have it fixed first time by expert technicians who understand the technology and can quickly get to the solution.

If you think your car may need a DPF clean? Read on ......

Check out this diary of a fellow TerraClean technician;

80% of the DPF faults attended this week did not need a DPF clean.

100% of DPF problems this week had an underlying issue causing the DPF fault. We identified every one of them correctly, first time.

Professional technicians such as those in the TerraClean network start with their own diagnostics before committing to cost of repair or confirming a need to clean.

The list of 10 for this week....

Mondeo 2.0tdci Required a Thermostat & Regeneration (self clean)
Transit 2.2tdci. Required an Exhaust temp sensor & a DPF Clean
Golf 2.0tdi. Required an inlet manifold and a DPF Clean
Astra 2.0cdti. Requires Glow Plugs & a software update
Merc C220d. Required air filter and software update & regeneration
Mondeo 2.0tdci. Required DPF pressure sensor pipes fitting the correct way after another garage replaced them incorrectly.
Golf 1.6tdi. Required a forced driven regeneration as owner had ignored DPF light.
S Max 2.2. Requires a fuel Vaporiser
Honda CRV Requires a Diesel Oxidising Catalyst
Mondeo 2.2tdci. Required a fuel Vaporiser and a driven regeneration

10 vehicles with DPF faults, where owners had asked about having them cleaned.

2 (only) were cleaned
9 needed other work &
1 needed the driver advising of what they should do when the warning light comes on.

Other companies may well have carried out the requested cleans & not addressed the causes of the problems. A cleaned DPF may block again quickly, if the cause of the blockage is not addressed.

If you’re experiencing DPF problems, or any problems with your vehicle and want accurate and conclusive diagnosis, get in touch.

If somebody says they can do the job "cheaper" be sure they can do it right, so it only needs to be done once.

We are your local TerraClean technicians and have the knowledge and experience & support of a 500+ strong network of fellow technicians, to sort your problems out. A network with a reputation for quality.

🔵DPF Removal Don’t be that guy🔵

❌Removal's not a legal option❌

It’s sometimes suggested that you can get a DPF cut out of the exhaust and the engine management software reprogrammed rather than pay to get it repaired.

DPFs are fitted to meet European emissions regulations and it would be an offence to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the emissions standards it was designed to meet.

Removing a DPF could also invalidate any insurance cover because it makes the vehicle illegal for road use.

A missing DPF, where one was fitted when the vehicle was built, will result in an MOT failure.

It is not illegal currently to offer the services of DPF removal, however it is illegal to drive with it removed. So the next time someone says rip it out, stop and think?

A DPF is a serviceable item, like most parts on a car, from time to time they need to be maintained and at TerraClean we have cleaning options available depending on make, model, mileage we can offer an in situ clean or an off the vehicle clean, either method helps to keep the DPF in healthy operation, and on the vehicle where it belongs.

Do you store your motorcycle over the winter?

Are you ready to get it back on the road, or have you done so already?

Is it running as well as you remember? or not.....

If you can feel the bike is not running as well as usual it is possibly due to the build up of contaminants in the fuel system, during the time it was not being used.

Simple answer, get a and get the best from your motorbike this summer.

We are your local centre so just make contact and we will explain the rest.

Enjoy your motorcycle and stay safe too.
