DPF Regeneration cleaning service

DPF Regeneration Cleaning Service

If you drive a modern diesel vehicle, including hybrids, you may have heard about the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The DPF is a vital part of your vehicle’s exhaust system, designed to trap and store harmful soot particles produced by the engine. Over time, the filter can become clogged, leading to reduced engine efficiency, poor performance, and even engine damage. That’s where DPF regeneration cleaning comes in.

What is DPF Regeneration?

DPF regeneration is a process that cleans out the soot and debris that accumulate in the filter. This process can happen automatically while you're driving or may require professional cleaning when the filter becomes too clogged. If your DPF isn’t cleaned properly, it can lead to costly repairs or even the need for a complete replacement.

There are two types of regeneration:

• Passive Regeneration: This happens automatically while you drive at higher speeds for a sustained period, which burns off the soot trapped in the filter.

• Active Regeneration: If passive regeneration isn’t enough, active regeneration is triggered by the car’s ECU, which increases the temperature of the exhaust to burn off the soot.

However, when these methods aren't enough, or the process doesn’t happen as it should, your DPF may need a professional cleaning.

Why Is DPF Regeneration Cleaning Important?

If your DPF becomes too clogged and doesn’t regenerate correctly, you may experience symptoms like:

• Decreased fuel efficiency

• Loss of power or acceleration

• Warning lights on your dashboard

• The vehicle entering "limp mode"

Regular DPF regeneration cleaning can prevent these issues and keep your car running smoothly. It’s an essential service for maintaining the performance and longevity of your vehicle, especially if you do a lot of short journeys or city driving, which doesn't allow the DPF to regenerate effectively.
