Full DPF Diagnostics and Cleaning throughout Darlington and Teesside
Keep your car running smoothly with complete DPF diagnostics and cleaning services from our specialist team. Your DPF (diesel particulate filter) does a very important job by removing excess soot from your exhaust pipe, which reduces engine pollution. If damaged, this filter can be very expensive to repair, which is why our expert team carry out complete diagnostics and repairs for trade and public customers throughout Darlington, County Durham, and Teesside. Get in touch today to book our services and avoid costly engine cleaning charges.
How It Works
Stage One – Diagnostics
Call on our DPF specialists to examine your DPF and determine if it’s blocked. With our high-quality diagnostics equipment, we will establish the cause of the blockage so that we can resolve the problem without it recurring.
Stage Two – Cleaning
Trust our technicians to restore your vehicle to its cleanest and most efficient performance. We inject specialist TerraClean fluid directly into the DPF, breaking down carbon particles so that they pass through the filter and reduce exhaust back pressure.
Stage Three – Regeneration
Once diagnostics and cleaning are complete, we put the car through a regeneration cycle. We start by driving the vehicle for one mile to further reduce carbon content and back pressure, and then reset any faults in the engine management system.

Our Cleaning Guarantee
We’re happy to say we have a 99.9% success rate for unblocking filters. On rare occasions when the filter is damaged or there’s some other reason we can’t unblock yours, you will only pay for the diagnostic side of our work. We are recognised throughout the motor trade for our ability to clear blocked DPFs, which is a much more cost-effective alternative to replacing them.
Clearing DPF Soot
Soot is the particulate matter that collects inside the DPF and is burnt off automatically when it reaches a certain level. In most cases, DPFs block due to another fault on the car or frequent short journeys.
Using our professional tools, we can force-regenerate a partially blocked DPF. Heavily blocked DPFs cannot be force-regenerated as the car’s computer prevents it for safety reasons. However, we are adept at cleaning and removing soot from heavily blocked filters, even ones that are so blocked that the cars don’t run.

Reducing DPF Ash
Your DPF’s capacity to store soot can be diminished by ash that builds up in the filter after regeneration. This causes the filter to regenerate more often, using more fuel and reducing its ability to clear itself sufficiently. The small amount of ash that’s left behind consists of minerals and metal, which cannot be dissolved by traditional cleaners.
If required, the filter can be removed by trained professionals and sent away to be cleaned in a specialist machine. This removes the ash without damaging the fragile DPF structure and restores it to a near-new condition. The filter is also flow-tested and before and after. Overall, this is a better option than fitting a cheap DPF, as the original filter is made to far higher standards, and this means that it lasts longer and more effectively captures and oxidises soot.
