DPF Cleaning
DPF Cleaning in Crawley - Webber Motor Company
Signs that the diesel particulate filter in your vehicle may be blocked or require cleaning are:
Using a special solution: power cleaner and a mix of high-pressured water and air, Webber Motor Company’s Carbon Clean DCS-16 quickly and efficiently cleans any size or specification DPF.
The process is non-invasive and unlike other solutions, does not require the DPF to be opened or its contents tampered with. It is important to remember that during an MOT test, a DPF must not show evidence of being opened up, unless this can be proved it was done for legitimate purposes. A DPF can no longer simply be removed or gutted if it is blocked, it must be either cleaned or replaced.
During an MOT test, a diesel vehicle must not emit ‘visible smoke of any colour’ – if it does it will fail. Cleaning the DPF with the Carbon Clean DCS-16 machine prevents this from happening and helps ensure the MOT emissions test is passed (given all other variables are correct).
Why should I have my DPF cleaned professionally?
Webber Motor Company offer this service to two types of customer: those experiencing problems related to a blocked DPF and those wanting to ensure their diesel vehicle passes the new stricter MOT emissions test which came into effect on May 20th 2018. Our fully trained and experienced team of technicians can rectify any current DPF issues your vehicle has, and maintain it routinely going forward to prevent and future issues or failed MOT tests.
Most diesel vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing a DPF between 100,000 miles and 200,00 miles, but if your DPF is regularly and routinely maintained by [garageservices] this should not be necessary. A replacement DPF can cost in excess of £1,000, so it’s wise to carry out this routine maintenance cleaning to prevent the need for an expensive replacement.
Additionally, the Carbon Clean DCS-16 machine’s cleaning process includes Power Protect, a solution which actively reduces the temperature at which soot combusts (from 650 degrees to 450 degrees), thereby improving the performance of the DPF’s regeneration system, and reducing the likelihood of future issues and blockages.
