Your car isn't taken away and the DPF doesn't need to be taken off. The DPF engineer brings a kitted-out working van to you, clears the filter where it sits, carries out the regeneration and completes the job there. It runs to around 2 hours, begins from £299, and the number is fixed by phone ahead of a soul setting off. ## Look for this from a DPF regeneration visit around Blunts The fitted van wants somewhere to park and an engine that will run at intervals. Past that, the visit is out of your control: - Nothing gets cleaned until we know what we're facing. A full scan reads the ECU and returns the soot level as a percentage and a weight, and the sensor readings, plugs and associated hardware get tested at the same stage. - A cleaning fluid is fed in through the access point on that car and opens out inside the unit, freeing the ash and soot a regeneration alone will never shift. - A DPF regeneration then drives off what the clean has lifted, either where it is where the vehicle is parked or on a monitored drive through Blunts if you would like to come along. - Any codes still outstanding get reported at that moment, once the change has been proved and the warning light cleared. Both readouts land in your inbox afterwards, so you've got the figures from both ends. ## Where you can have the work carried out round Blunts Anywhere you can leave it and clear off for the length of the job. Most people tend to have somewhere that does: - A front drive at home in Blunts - The car park at your workplace - Any spare corner of a yard you can use - Somewhere off Bones Lane with room to sit - The Tesco car park round the corner, while you carry on with your day The DPF never comes off the car, so there is no call for you to stay with it. ## What clogs diesel particulate filters around Blunts? Blunts is a rural hamlet, and the motoring that goes with it is what a DPF handles worst. The school run to Quethiock CofE School, the crawl down Dens Meadow at half eight, ten minutes to Tesco and home again, the dash to Menheniot — none of it runs long enough or runs hot enough for the filter to finish a burn cycle, so unburnt soot that should burn away collects instead. Only under 50 miles to the M5 and under 10 miles to Plymouth from Blunts. Neither is a long way. Neither is on the way to much most weeks, though, so the journey that would clear a filter never comes. You'll probably have picked up on something already. A whiff of diesel inside, sooty smoke when you accelerate, pull falling off, revs that won't climb, worse economy, and stop/start giving up without a word. That builds for a while before the light appears. ## What will on-site DPF cleaning not fix? One fault is fixed by a treatment: the filter blocked with ash and soot. You should not assume the light means the filter, and the check settles the question prior to any work on the vehicle. These are past what a treatment can do: - A sensor reporting a block that is not there - A failed EGR valve - A failure in the AdBlue system, on the vehicles that have one - Glow plugs or injectors that stop the regeneration running - Oil working through the unit from a faulty turbo Before any work begins is when you find out, rather than once the money has been paid. DPF renewal is the usual search term, though no part is swapped — the original unit is cleared on the vehicle and sent back into use. Hollowing the filter out is no fix either, since the MOT then fails and the road use becomes illegal. ## Will a sustained run shift it on its own? Where a filter has only started to clog, a long run regularly shifts it with nobody going near it. under 50 miles stands between Blunts and the M5, and that is the journey to make, holding the pace constant. The scenic route into Plymouth works too. A few minutes to Tideford and home does not. An on-site clean becomes the sensible next step once the light is on and limp mode has kicked in, because a long run will no longer reach it. ## What on-site DPF cleaning costs around Blunts Mobile DPF treatment opens from £299. Travelling to you, handling the booking, performing the check and handing you the steer are all met by the call-out charge, which stands whatever follows. No single figure would be truthful, so the price is quoted over the phone once we are told the vehicle and what the unit is going to need. Say what you run and roughly whereabouts you sit — Blunts itself, over by Tideford Cross, or anywhere else in the PL postcode area — and you'll be given the price prior to anybody setting off. The work includes a 30-day warranty covering aftercare. An engineer drives back to Blunts should the DPF warning light come on again inside that window. ## DPF cleaning for every vehicle around Blunts The on-site service handles: - Cars of every make - Panel vans and light commercial vehicles - HGVs - Construction and plant machinery - Agricultural equipment and machinery You're not bringing anything to us: on every one the DPF is cleared in place, at your address in Blunts. A car that will not start rules out the mobile service. A garage detaches the unit instead, a driver collects it, and our own workshop cleans it within 24 hours of reaching us. Neither service extends to removing a unit or putting one back. ## Blunts and the PL postcode area Our engineers are down Dens Meadow most weeks, so Blunts is hardly ever out of the way. The same trip takes in Tideford Cross and Tilland, and the smaller places over past Tideford and Quethiock. Being wider afield across Cornwall is no problem. Coverage is nationwide. What governs the day is how full the calendar already is, not how far out you sit. ## On-site DPF cleaning around Blunts: common questions How long does the appointment run? A badly loaded filter goes longer because it takes a second go, but about 2 hours is normal. How much is mobile DPF cleaning in Blunts? It opens from £299, and there's a call-out fee on top taking in the journey, the scan and the advice. You'll get the figure over the phone, because what you drive and where you are both shift it. Do you travel to houses and offices? Either works: your home or your workplace, right across Blunts or the surrounding Cornwall area. Nothing is removed. Wherever the car happens to be parked is where the cleaning happens. How soon can you make it to Blunts? Usually the day itself or the next, subject to what is already in the diary. What is available across the PL area is something we can tell you the moment you ring 0303 330 1830. Is there a charge if it proves not to be the unit? The call-out charge holds regardless, because the call-out, the scan and the advice have all been done. Cleaning that does not happen is not charged for. Am I looked after if the warning light comes on again? An engineer drives back to Blunts. Aftercare of that sort is what the 30-day warranty covers. After the cleaning, how long will it hold up? It comes down to how you drive it from then on. Allow it a decent run now and then — out towards Plymouth, or along the M5 — rather than short trips over to Tideford Cross. ## Put call-out DPF cleaning booked for Blunts Whatever the vehicle is up to, explain it to us on 0303 330 1830.
