An engineer arrives at your place across Bomby, treats the diesel particulate filter while it is attached to the car, runs a DPF regeneration, and you keep the filter you started with. The visit lasts typically around 2 hours, the clean begins from £299, and the number is settled by the phone before anyone sets off. The light is showing and the car is down on power — that is how we normally meet people, and precisely what this page is about. ## What to do when the DPF light comes on Not the filter, necessarily. First thing to get straight. That light can come from a number of faults, not just one, so the visit begins with a scan and not with a clean. The use you do in the meantime tells. That is the next thing. - Amber light, vehicle yet driving fine — a long steady run can still shift it on its own. Costs nothing at all, and worth a try before you ring anything. - Once the car is in limp mode, motoring will not reach it. The window has shut. - Stop planning long drives and get it checked if the car reeks of diesel or there is black smoke when you accelerate. ## Before the light, what the car was showing you Belated news, the light. The symptoms usually grow for a while before it appears: - tailing off on power, particularly uphill - an engine whose revs will not climb as before - worse fuel use - a stop/start that has silently given up - a diesel smell in the car, or smoke under the throttle Any one of those, taken alone, is not proof. It is a fair assumption the filter is blocked once the light is showing too. ## Choked diesel particulate filters near Bomby, and the reason The day-to-day driving that goes with a small village like Bomby is the least kind kind for a DPF. None of it goes on long enough or gets hot enough for the filter to complete a regeneration: the school run to Shap Endowed CofE Primary School, Grange Field standing at half past eight, ten minutes to Lakes & Dales Co-operative, the run to Penrith. The unburnt soot banks up rather than burning away. The M6 sits under 3 miles from Bomby, Carlisle under 25 miles out, and unless something carries you out that way often, full weeks slip past without the long steady run that clears a DPF. Geography does not help. ## DPF regeneration, and the moment limp mode kills it What limp mode means is the car defending itself. The real catch is that a long drive works by triggering a regeneration, and once in limp mode the revs will not pull and power is limited. Good advice, that motorway run — up until the moment it is not. In limp mode you are beyond that stage: treatment is what will work, not more road work. ## Mobile DPF cleaning where the motor stands across Bomby On your front, in a work car park, wherever the car can wait for a while: the job is done with the filter still bolted on, which is the part most owners do not anticipate. Nothing is touched until other faults are eliminated. That means a scan first: live data off the ECU, soot load by percentage and by mass, and a check of the sensor readings, glow plugs and related parts. A cleaning solution after that is fed in through the access port on that motor, expanding inside the filter to free soot and ash a regeneration on its own will never move. Heavily clogged filters sometimes require a second pass. Then a regeneration, to clear what the clean has lifted. Either it runs as a monitored drive out of Bomby, with you there, or it runs where the motor waits and the real-time data is checked once done. A second diagnostic verifies the change, puts out the warning light and notes anything still showing. Both read-outs are sent over, so you end up with the before and after figures recorded. ## Where a clean is not the solution A filter clogged with soot and ash is the one thing cleaning cures. It will not reach: - a pressure or temperature sensor flagging a restriction that is not there - an EGR valve held open - an AdBlue system failure - glow plugs or injectors preventing the regeneration running in the first place - oil passing through the filter from a faulty turbo The first check is there for exactly that. When one of those proves the fault, you find out about it at the outset rather than once the money has gone altogether. DPF renewal is what people type in, but no part is replaced: the filter you already own is cleared where it sits and sent back into service. Nor is having it cut out a fix, since the MOT then fails and driving becomes illegal. Two more things worth noting. ## What DPF cleaning comes to in Bomby A call-out charge holds whatever happens, and pays for the visit, the booking fee, the scan and the advice given. Cleaning itself starts from £299. The price is agreed by the phone, once we are told the vehicle and what the filter is apt to need. No flat rate could be honest. Two things move it: what you own, and where you are — Bomby itself, across at Rosgill, or further out across the CA postcode area. If the scan counts treatment out, there is nothing to pay for it. The call-out charge still applies, because the visit, the diagnostic and the advice have taken place. Aftercare is taken in by a 30-day warranty: should the light come back within it, an engineer returns to Bomby. ## What we clean, and how far we travel round Bomby The filter is done on the vehicle on all of them: cars and estates, panel vans and light commercials, HGVs, plant and construction machinery, agricultural vehicles. Nothing is taken anywhere. Week in week out there is by then someone on Grange Field, so Bomby rarely means a special trip, and Rosgill, Burnbanks and the places past Bampton are on the way. Call anyway from farther out through Cumbria. Coverage reaches UK-wide, and the day you are offered comes down to the diary rather than how far away you are. ## A word on Bomby Bomby is a small locality in Cumbria, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 182 metres.

Sometimes, if you catch it in time and the car has not slipped into limp mode. It wants a steady run at motorway speed, not ten minutes flat to Lakes & Dales Co-operative and back. The visit runs how long? It is typically around 2 hours. A heavily loaded filter can require a second clean, which extends that. What does it come to across Bomby? The call-out charge covers the visit, the diagnostic and the advice; cleaning itself begins from £299. Settling it is done by phone, since what you own and where you sit both shift the figure. Do I have to be present? Nobody expects you to stand with it — the car simply requires somewhere to wait for a couple of hours. Wanting to be there is welcome: the regeneration then is done out on the move, monitored. Can someone get to Bomby soon? That comes down to the calendar, but it is often same-day or next-day. One phone call to 0303 330 1830 and you will learn what the CA area has free. Does the filter come off the car? Not on the call-out service — it is done where it sits. That work — a filter off, a filter back on — is not a job we do. And if the light reappears? An engineer heads back out to Bomby — the 30-day warranty covers aftercare. ## Book a DPF clean around Bomby Phone 0303 330 1830 and talk us through what the vehicle is doing: the light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
