What DPF cleaning involves
The particulate filter (DPF) traps soot from a diesel engine's exhaust and burns it off by itself, in a regeneration, mostly on long drives at steady revs. If you mostly drive in town, regeneration doesn't finish, the filter clogs, the warning light comes on and the car can go into limp mode. The garage can start a forced regeneration with a diagnostic tool or remove the filter to clean it. Removing the filter for good is not allowed: the car no longer meets the emissions standard it was approved under.
- How often
- When the particulate filter warning light comes on or the car loses power. An occasional long motorway drive helps it regenerate.
How to choose a repair shop in Pallíni
- Ask for a written price before the job and what it covers: labour, parts, materials.
- Ask what warranty you get and keep the invoice: without it, a warranty is hard to prove.
- Check the address and opening hours on the shop's profile and confirm them before you set off. These details change.
