DPF Regeneration
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) traps soot from the exhaust. When it becomes blocked, your engine loses power. We perform forced DPF regeneration to clear the blockage and restore full performance.
What the Service Involves
- Assessment of soot loading and DPF condition via live data
- Forced (stationary) regeneration with professional equipment
- Differential pressure and temperature sensor verification
- Investigation of why the DPF blocked (driving pattern, sensor or injector faults)
Common Symptoms
- DPF warning light on dashboard
- Reduced engine power
- Increased fuel consumption
- Frequent regeneration cycles
Possible Causes
- Short trips and low-speed driving preventing natural regeneration
- Faulty differential pressure or temperature sensors
- Excessive soot from injector or turbo faults
- Oil contamination raising ash loading
How We Diagnose It
DPF regeneration is supported by MechanIQ to assess soot loading and verify a successful regeneration cycle. Where blockages keep recurring, we diagnose the underlying cause rather than just clearing the filter again.
Why Professional Diagnosis Matters
Forced regeneration needs correct equipment, temperatures and supervision. Where the DPF is beyond regeneration, options like EGR/DPF deletes are available through our specialist electronic services — discussed honestly with you first.
