The diesel particulate filter is cleared where the vehicle stands, at your home or your place of work, by a DPF engineer who travels to you anywhere in Tyne and Wear.

It stays on the motor.

The starting figure is from £299. Attendance is often same-day or next-day and time on site is typically around 2 hours.

Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, Whitley Bay and South Shields are among the 333 towns and villages we cover here.

Read on and you will find every one of them, each with its own page.

The technician arrives: what happens next

Nothing is treated until the scan is done.

Ruling out a sensor, glow plug, injector or turbo fault comes first. A DPF warning light is not proof that the filter is the fault, and one of those faults is commonly present with it.

Before any work starts, you are warned if one of those is the cause.

a complete diagnostic scan and ECU read taken live, to pin down the fault and see how full the filter is
a chemical clean under pressure, introduced at the best access point that vehicle offers
a regeneration cycle to burn off what the clean has loosened
the lights zeroed once the scan is repeated, plus a road test where possible
pre- and post-clean reports emailed to you afterwards

Where the filter is heavily blocked, a second clean is sometimes needed on the same visit.

What it costs in Tyne and Wear

What you drive and how blocked the filter is both move the figure, so cleaning starts from £299 and the price is settled on the phone before anyone sets off rather than after they arrive.

The call-out charge applies whatever the visit.

A visit is a visit and a diagnosis is a diagnosis, even where the fault proves to be something other than the filter. That is why the charge applies whether or not cleaning happens, and what the call-out, booking, diagnostic and advice are paid for.

If the warning light returns inside that period a technician comes back: every clean carries a 30-day warranty covering aftercare.

Recently had the DPF cleaned by Liam. Good communication throughout, and he clearly answered all questions. The van is now up and running nicely.

Daz was very friendly and helpful. Although the issue with my car was a lot more than the DPF, he helped me understand the problem so I could make an informed decision on where to go/what to do next.
