We can offer expert advice on how to maintain your DPF and avoid costly repairs!
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a filter that captures and stores exhaust soot in order to reduce emissions from diesel cars.
​
Over time, these filters become clogged up and soot periodically has to be emptied or 'burned off' to regenerate the DPF.
​
This regeneration process involves burning off the excess soot deposited in the filter, reducing the harmful exhaust emission. If the operating conditions are not right, however, the filter can become clogged up.
