DPF Cleaning Services

Here at MB Services, we offer specialist DPF filter cleaning services. As one of Sheffield’s only garages with the specialist equipment, we are uniquely equipped to solve your DPF problem.

DPF Cleaning Services in Sheffield

A diesel particulate filter or DPF is a component of the exhaust system of a diesel engine. It is designed to filter out all diesel particulate matter from your exhaust fumes, thus reducing the emissions of your car. Over time, these waste particles can build up and cause a blockage within the DPF filter mesh. This can drastically affect the performance of your car, causing your engine to choke on its own fumes and potentially causing severe damage.

Many drivers used to opt for DPF removal, but this procedure is now illegal due to the damage unchecked diesel engines can cause to the environment. Luckily, we provide a range of services to get your DPF up and running again, making sure you pass your MOT test. If you think your DPF may need some attention, browse this handy list of common symptoms of DPF blockages.

Benefits of having your filter serviced include better fuel economy, better overall engine performance and increased lifespan of both the engine, exhaust and DPF. While previously DPF removal allowed drivers to run their cars more efficiently, DPF cleaning has the same effect while still making sure pass an MOT and that your emissions are drastically reduced.

DPF Cleaning Services

Here at MB Services, we offer specialist DPF filter cleaning services. Our DPF cleaning services can be done in three ways or ‘stages’ depending on the severity of the blockage. These are:

DPF regeneration service – Carried out by initiating your ECU to manually regenerate the DPF. By giving your engine a post TDC injection of diesel, the combustion temperature in your engine is raised which recreates the conditions required to burn away all the residue that has built up within the filter.

Stage 1 – A simple chemical cleaning of the filter, softening the soot build ups and removing small amounts of residue that may be blocking the filter mesh.

Stage 2 – A total flush of the filter using the state of the art flash cleaning machine. This removes all residue and brings it back to working condition.

DPF Regeneration Services

Most cars now come with an active DPF regeneration process built in to the engine control unit, but many people’s driving habits don’t allow for this to work properly. For instance, if you drive primarily in the city, your engine will not be able to reach the temperatures required to burn away the excess soot. Also, active regeneration takes time, so if your journey doesn’t last long enough for it to complete, your DPF will remain clogged.

We offer a forced DPF regeneration service, which is carried out by initiating your ECU to manually regenerate the DPF. By giving your engine a post TDC injection of diesel, the combustion temperature in your engine is raised which recreates the conditions required to burn away all the residue that has built up within the filter. This process can be done at our Sheffield workshop in a day, and is offered as part of our servicing packages. Alongside this, we can also recondition your ECU to trigger automatic regenerations on a regular basis, making sure your DPF stays clean for longer.

 

DPF Replacement

We also offer DPF replacement services for those filters that are beyond repair. This usually occurs when a filter reaches 90% or more capacity. We will order in the ideal filter for your car and our highly trained technicians will install it. Our facility contains the same equipment and data that you’d expect from a major dealer, so we guarantee that all DPF filters are fitted with care and precision.

We only use new or reconditioned DPF filters from OEM manufacturers. We do not use aftermarket DPF filters as they do not offer the same quality. Please get in touch to arrange a DPF replacement so we can source you a new or reconditioned filter.
