No workshop, no filter leaving. A fitter drives out to your place in Bokiddick, clears the diesel particulate filter as it sits, runs a DPF regeneration, and you end up with the filter you came with. The visit runs typically around 2 hours, the clean opens from £299, and the price is fixed over the phone before anyone leaves. The light is showing and the vehicle is short of power — that is how we normally meet people, and what this page deals with. ## DPF light on? What comes next Not the filter, automatically. First thing to say. That light can come from a number of faults, not merely one, so the visit opens with a scan and not with a clean. Second thing: how you drive it between now and then counts. - A long constant run may even now manage it, provided the light is amber and the car goes normally. Costs zero, so attempt that before booking. - That window has gone once the vehicle has dropped into limp mode. Motoring will not do it now. - Get it seen to rather than driving it — diesel in the cabin, or smoke on acceleration, has gone beyond the long-run stage. ## The vehicle has been showing you already Symptoms have generally been mounting for a while before the light ever appears. Belated news, in other words: - less power, above all pulling uphill - revs that will not rise the way they used to - consumption that is worse than it used to be - the stop/start silently packing in - a diesel smell in the cabin, or smoke under the throttle Any one of those, taken singly, is not proof. Alongside the light with them, the filter is a fair bet. ## Why diesel particulate filters clog near Bokiddick The motoring that goes with a small village like Bokiddick is the worst kind for a DPF. A regeneration needs time and heat, and has none: not on the school run to Lanivet Community Primary School, not on Bodmin Bypass at the morning rush, not on a few minutes to Morrisons, and not on the hop to Luxulyan. The soot load collects rather than burning away. Except when you have a regular cause to drive out to the M5, over 50 miles from Bokiddick, or over to Truro under 25 miles away, entire weeks go by without a sustained run. Geography is unhelpful. ## DPF regeneration, and the stage limp mode kills it The vehicle is looking after itself, which is what limp mode amounts to. Power is held down, the revs will not climb, and the regeneration the filter requires can not run — which is the real catch, because a sustained drive works by triggering that regeneration. The usual advice — take it up the motorway — is good, up until it is not. The filter needs a clean rather than road work once the car has gone into limp mode. ## Where the vehicle stands is where the DPF is cleaned round Bokiddick Most owners do not expect this detail: the filter stays put. The job happens with the DPF yet bolted to the car — on your front, in a work car park, anywhere the motor can wait for a while. The ECU is taken first, showing soot load by percentage and by actual weight, along with a check of sensor feeds, glow plugs and connected hardware, so nothing is touched while another fault is still in play. Next comes the clean itself: a cleaning solution in through the vehicle's own entry point, spreading inside the filter and loosening what a regeneration cannot. Badly clogged filters sometimes require a second pass. Then a regeneration, to drive off what the clean has freed. Stay with the motor and it turns into a monitored drive out of Bokiddick. Drop it and the regeneration runs in place, with running data verified once it is done. Finally the diagnostic runs again — the change confirmed, the light put out, anything still open logged. Both reports reach you by email, so the numbers are kept. ## The failures a DPF clean cannot fix Only one fault is cured by a clean: the filter blocked with ash and soot. It does little for: - a pressure sensor flagging a blockage that is not there - an EGR valve jammed open - a problem in the AdBlue system - a regeneration that never runs, because of glow plugs or injectors - turbo problems, with oil reaching the filter The first scan is there for just that. If one of those is the fault, you hear about it up front rather than once the money has gone altogether. Cutting the filter out is not a solution: without a functioning DPF a vehicle cannot pass its MOT, and driving it is illegal. DPF renewal is the wording people look up, though nothing is swapped — your original filter is treated in place and put back into use. Two more worth bearing in mind. ## What DPF cleaning runs to in Bokiddick A clean starts from £299, with the call-out charge on top of that for every visit — it covers the call-out, the booking, the scans and the advice. The figure is agreed by the phone, once we know the vehicle and what the filter is going to need. No flat rate could be honest. What you drive and where you are both change it: Bokiddick itself, across at Mena, or otherwise out within the PL postcode area. If the diagnostic rules a clean out, there is nothing to pay for it. Because the visit, the diagnostic and the advice have been done, the call-out charge even so holds. A 30-day warranty takes in aftercare on the clean, and that includes an engineer heading back out to Bokiddick if the light comes back inside the window. ## Where we get to round Bokiddick, and what we clean Cars, vans of any size and light commercials, HGVs, plant machinery, agricultural vehicles — one mobile service across all of them, and on all of them the filter is done in place rather than moved anywhere. Nearly every week there is by then someone on Bodmin Bypass, so Bokiddick hardly ever means a special trip, and Mena, Tregullon and the villages past Luxulyan are on the way. It is the calendar, not the distance, that settles whether it is this day or the next, and coverage runs UK-wide — so ring still from farther out across Cornwall. ## The patch around Bokiddick Bokiddick is a small locality in Cornwall, situated inland at an elevation of 167 metres, and is located near Trebell Green, Mena, and Fenton Pits.

If you get it in time, and the car is not in limp mode, sometimes. That calls for motorway speed for a long run, rather than a quick trip to Morrisons. The visit takes how long? That is typically around 2 hours, though a severely loaded filter can need cleaning twice, which runs on. What does it cost around Bokiddick? Beginning from £299, with a charge for coming out that takes in the scan and advice on what to do next. The vehicle and your address both shift the figure, so we quote on the phone. Must I be around in person? You need not stand with it — the motor simply requires space to wait for a couple of hours. Come along if you would rather, and the regeneration is done as a monitored drive. When can someone come to Bokiddick? That comes down to the diary, but it is often same-day or next-day. Phone 0303 330 1830 what is open across the PL area. Will the filter be removed? It is done where it sits, on the mobile service. We will not take filters off or fit them back on, either way. The light returns — then what? Aftercare sits inside the 30-day warranty, and that includes an engineer coming back to Bokiddick. ## Organise DPF cleaning across Bokiddick Tell us through what the motor is doing on 0303 330 1830, whether that is smoke, limp mode or the light.
