DPF Cleaning in Newcastle
DPF problems in Newcastle? We can help.
At West Auto, we specialise in professional DPF cleaning and assessments to get to the root cause of your DPF problem. Our technicians use advanced equipment to assess and clean diesel particulate filters safely and effectively.
Blocked DPFs
A DPF rarely blocks on its own unless specific driving conditions are a factor – and even that’s uncommon. In most cases, a blocked DPF is a symptom of another fault on your vehicle. That’s why it’s crucial to identify and fix the underlying issue before cleaning the DPF. Otherwise, the filter is likely to block again.
DPF Assessment
We start with a comprehensive DPF assessment to diagnose what’s causing the problem. Once we’ve pinpointed the issue, we’ll let you know if any repairs are needed and whether a DPF clean is appropriate.
Some minor repairs are included in our DPF assessment fee. It’s important to note: not every “blocked DPF” or warning light means a clean is required.
DPF Cleaning
If a clean is necessary, we use an advanced in-situ 3-stage process to restore your DPF’s performance and efficiency. Combined with any required repairs, this ensures a complete fix – not a temporary solution.
