FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 
  • Q. Do I need to bring my car to you?
    A. Not at all! We come to you with our convenient mobile vehicle inspection service. Whether you're at home or work, we'll carry out the inspection right where you are.
  • Q. How long does DPF cleaning take?
    A. At DPF TECH, our DPF cleaning service typically takes 2 - 3 hours. The process includes the following steps: 1. Conduct a diagnostic scan of the vehicle’s codes and live data. 2. Identify soot and carbon deposits, and measure back pressure. 3. Locate the DPF sensor and verify readings with a manual gauge. 4. Inject the cleaning solution into the DPF and allow it to soak. 5. Recheck the pressure run the vehicle at 2500 RPM to ensure full penetration. 6. Inject flushing solution and recheck pressure and reset DPF on the ECU & clear trouble codes
  • Q. How long can you drive with the DPF light on?
    A. It’s crucial to address the DPF warning light as soon as it appears. Driving with the DPF light on for an extended period can cause significant damage to your engine and DPF system. Ignoring this warning can also lead to failing your MOT test, resulting in fines and legal issues. The duration you can drive with the DPF warning light on varies depending on your vehicle’s make and model, driving conditions, and the extent of the filter clogging. Generally, it’s best to avoid driving with the DPF warning light on for more than a few miles. Prompt attention to this issue can save you from costly repairs and ensure your vehicle remains in compliance with regulations.
  • Q. What Are The Warning Signs That Your DPF Needs Cleaning?
    A. If you frequently engage in short trips and stop-start driving, your engine may not reach the required temperature to burn off excess soot. Look out for warning signs such as: DPF warning light Black smoke from the exhaust The stop-start system not working Poor fuel economy Excessive cooling fan activity Reduced engine power Increased regeneration cycles
  • Q. How to clear DPF warning light without a mechanic?
    A. If your DPF warning light comes on, the first step is to attempt a DPF regeneration cycle: 1. Initiate Regeneration: Get the engine up to full working temperature then drive at a consistent speed of at least 40 mph for approximately 15 minutes do not let the engine speed exceed 2500 RMP. This sustained speed increases the DPF temperatures, which can trigger a passive DPF regeneration. 2. Check the Light: If the DPF light remains on after this, or if it frequently comes on, it’s essential to consult a professional mechanic. Under no circumstances carry out a forced DPF regeneration without cleaning the DPF first as the excessive soot content will damage the DPF core. Prompt attention to the DPF warning light can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your vehicle.
  • Q. What Are The Benefits Of DPF Cleaning
    A. Carbon deposits have a negative impact on your engine’s power and fuel economy. There are several benefits to DPF cleaning you should know: Better fuel economy and engine performance. Removes clogging before it gets any worse. Reduces black exhaust fumes and emissions Avoid replacement part expenses. Better filtration reduces the environmental impact of your vehicle.
