The engineer pulls up at your address in Bottom Boat and starts. The diesel particulate filter is cleared fitted to the motor, a DPF regeneration follows, and you end up with the filter you came with. Allow for the visit running typically around 2 hours. The clean begins from £299, settled on the phone before anyone sets off. Most people find us with the light showing, and the vehicle down on power. That is the situation this page is aimed at. ## The DPF light is on. What then? First thing: it is not always the DPF. Plenty of faults put the very same light on the very same dashboard, which is why a visit opens with a check rather than with treatment. Second thing: how you drive it between now and then matters. - A long even run may even now do it, provided the light is amber and the motor drives normally. Costs nothing at all, so have a go at that before calling. - Once the car is in limp mode, driving will not shift it. The window has gone. - A diesel smell in the car, or black smoke under the throttle, is the point to stop booking long drives and book it in. ## Signs the car has been sending you Symptoms have usually been building for some time before the light ever arrives. Belated news, in other words: - less power, particularly pulling uphill - an engine whose revs will not climb like they did - worse fuel consumption - a stop/start that has silently bowed out - smoke under hard acceleration, or a diesel smell inside None of that is conclusive by itself. With the light with them, the filter is a fair assumption. ## The cause diesel particulate filters clog around Bottom Boat For a DPF, the poorest driving is the sort you get in a village such as Bottom Boat. The school run to Stanley St Peters Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Bottomboat Road at a halt at half past eight, a few minutes to Co-op Food, the dash to Normanton — nothing of it lasts long enough or gets hot enough for the filter to see through a regeneration. The soot builds up rather than burning off. Unless you have a regular cause to head out to the M62, under a mile from Bottom Boat, or out to Wakefield under 3 miles away, whole weeks go by without a sustained drive. Geography is unhelpful. ## Limp mode, and when DPF regeneration stops working It is self-protection: that is all limp mode means. A long drive works by setting off a regeneration, and that is precisely what limp mode blocks: power capped, revs held down, no regeneration available. So the usual advice to get it up the motorway is good advice, up until it stops being. In limp mode you are the far side of that stage: a clean is what will work, not more road work. ## Mobile DPF cleaning where the car stands round Bottom Boat Most owners do not anticipate this bit: the filter stays put. The job happens with the DPF yet bolted to the motor — on your driveway, in a work car park, any place the vehicle can sit for a couple of hours. First a check. Real-time ECU data, the soot load as a proportion and as a weight, the sensor readings, the glow plugs, the associated components — all of it taken before any of it is cleaned. Then the treatment. A cleaning solution is injected through the access point on that vehicle and expands inside the filter, freeing the soot and ash a regeneration by itself will never budge. Severely clogged filters sometimes take a second pass. A regeneration comes next, burning off what the clean has lifted. That is a monitored drive out of Bottom Boat if you are along, or a static regeneration where the vehicle waits, with the running data verified once done. Finally the diagnostic runs again — the change proven, the light put out, anything still outstanding written down. Both read-outs arrive with you by email, so the numbers are recorded. ## What a DPF clean will not touch One thing is what treatment fixes — a filter choked with soot and ash. It does little for: - pressure or temperature sensors flagging a block that is not there - EGR valves that hang open - AdBlue system faults - glow plugs or injectors stopping the regeneration running in the first place - the turbo putting oil into the filter The first scan is there for just that. You are told before all work begins, not after you have handed over, should it turns out to be one of those. Two things more worth noting. Getting the filter hollowed out is not a remedy — a vehicle without a serviceable DPF cannot pass its MOT and driving it is against the law. And cleaning is sometimes described as DPF renewal: nothing is replaced, your existing filter is treated in place and returned into use. ## What DPF cleaning costs in Bottom Boat The cleaning opens from £299. A call-out charge covers every visit, and takes in the call-out itself, the booking, the scan and the advice that comes with it. The number is agreed on the phone, once we have the vehicle and what the filter is apt to need. No flat rate could be truthful. Whereabouts you are tells as much as what you own: Bottom Boat itself, Stanley Ferry nearby, or farther out in the WF postcode area. Where the scan says a clean will not help, you are not billed for a clean. What even so holds is the call-out charge, since the visit was made, the check was run and the advice was offered. If the light comes back inside that window, an engineer heads back out to Bottom Boat — the job includes a 30-day warranty including aftercare. ## What we clean, and how far we travel around Bottom Boat The filter is cleaned in place on all of them: cars, panel vans and light commercials, heavy goods vehicles, plant and construction machinery, farm vehicles. Nothing is moved anywhere. Bottom Boat is hardly ever a special trip: our engineers are working Bottomboat Road week in week out, and the same run picks up Stanley Ferry, Lee Moor and the places out past Lofthouse. Coverage runs UK-wide, so further out around West Yorkshire is even so worth a phone call, and what settles between today and tomorrow is the diary rather than the distance. ## About Bottom Boat Bottom Boat is a small village in West Yorkshire, situated on the banks of the River Calder, with a mix of semi-detached housing and local amenities.

If you catch it in time, and the car is not in limp mode, sometimes. It takes a long run at motorway speed, not five minutes to Co-op Food and back. Roughly how long does it run? It is typically around 2 hours. A severely clogged filter can take a second clean, which adds to that. Cost around Bottom Boat — what is it? The call-out charge takes in the visit, the diagnostic and the advice; cleaning itself begins from £299. The vehicle and your address both move the figure, so we price on the phone. Is it essential for me to be present? A spot for the car to wait, for a couple of hours, is all that is required. Not you. Preferring to be there is welcome: the regeneration then goes out on the move, monitored. Travelling to Bottom Boat — how soon? Depending on the diary, often same-day or next-day is typical. One ring to 0303 330 1830 and you will know what the WF area has free. Is the filter removed from the vehicle? Treated where it is, on this service, so no. That work — a filter off, a filter back on — is not work we do. And if the light reappears? Aftercare sits inside the 30-day warranty, and that includes an engineer coming back to Bottom Boat. ## Set up DPF cleaning around Bottom Boat Ring 0303 330 1830 and say what the vehicle is doing — light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
