The technician turns up at your place across Canada and sets up. The diesel particulate filter is cleared fitted to the vehicle, a DPF regeneration runs after it, and you keep the filter you arrived with. The visit runs typically around 2 hours, the clean opens from £299, and the number is fixed over the phone before anyone sets off. Most owners find us with the light on already, and the motor down on power. That is the situation this page is meant for. ## Your DPF light is lit — what now? The filter is not always what is to blame, and that leads. Several faults put the very same light on the same dashboard, which is why a visit opens with a diagnostic rather than with cleaning. How the motor is run in the meantime counts too. - A long steady run may yet be enough, provided the light is amber and the car runs as normal. Costs nothing, so have a go at that before calling. - Once the motor is in limp mode, a long run will not shift it. The window has gone. - A diesel smell in there, or black smoke under acceleration, is the stage to stop arranging long drives and book it in. ## What the vehicle has been telling you By the time the light arrives, things have usually been going wrong for some time. It is late news: - going uphill, the power falls off - an engine whose revs will not pull as they should - economy that is worse than it was - stop/start without a word bowing out - a diesel smell in the cabin, or smoke under acceleration That is not proof on its own. The light alongside them suggests a full filter. ## The cause diesel particulate filters choke around Canada For a DPF, the poorest driving is the sort you get around a residential suburb such as Canada. Run through a typical week: Cestria Primary School and back, Villiers Place at a standstill before the hour, a five-minute run to Tesco, a run to Chester-Le-Street. Nothing there goes on long enough or gets hot enough to complete a regeneration. What should burn off remains. The A1(M) sits under a mile from Canada, Durham under 10 miles away, and unless something carries you out that way regularly, full weeks pass without the sustained run that empties a DPF. Geography does not oblige. ## DPF regeneration, and the moment limp mode stops it It is self-protection: that is all limp mode amounts to. Power is held down, the revs will not rise, and the regeneration the filter wants can no longer happen — which is the real difficulty, because a sustained drive works by starting that regeneration. Running it up the motorway is the common advice, and it holds up to a point. Once the vehicle is in limp mode you are past that point, and the filter requires cleaning rather than driving. ## Where the motor stands is where the DPF is cleaned across Canada On your front, in a work car park, wherever the motor can wait for a few hours: the job is done with the filter yet bolted on, which is the part most owners do not expect. A check comes first — running data off the ECU, soot load by percentage and by mass, and a look over of the sensor readings, glow plugs and related parts, so other faults are ruled out before anything is started. Soot and ash that a regeneration alone will never shift are loosened next, by a solution put through the access point on that motor, which opens out inside the filter. Heavily clogged filters sometimes need a second pass. Then a regeneration, to clear what the clean has freed. Either it goes as a monitored drive out of Canada, with you present, or it runs where the vehicle sits and the running data is verified once done. Both read-outs are sent by email, so the figures from either end are recorded. The second diagnostic is what verifies the change, puts out the light and lists whatever is still open. ## What a DPF clean will not touch One thing is what treatment answers — a filter choked with soot and ash. It does no good for: - a pressure sensor reporting a blockage that is not there - the EGR valve stuck open - a problem in the AdBlue system - injectors or glow plugs that block a regeneration completing at all - turbo problems, with oil reaching the filter That is what the first diagnostic is for. When it proves to be one of those, you are told before any work begins rather than after you have settled up for it. DPF renewal is what people look up, but no part is replaced: the filter you own is cleared where it sits and put back to work. Nor is having it gutted a solution, since the MOT then fails and driving becomes an offence. Two more things worth noting. ## Prices for DPF cleaning across Canada The clean begins from £299. A call-out charge is added to every visit, and takes in the call-out itself, the booking, the diagnostic and the advice that follows. Quoting a flat rate would not be honest. We settle it over phone, once the motor and its probable needs are clear. The car moves it, and so does the address — Canada, Chester-le-Street, or somewhere otherwise out in the DH postcode area. You are not asked to pay for cleaning that the diagnostic says will not work. What nonetheless applies is the call-out charge, since the visit took place, the check was run and the advice was passed on. The work comes with a 30-day warranty covering aftercare, including an engineer heading back out to Canada if the light returns inside that time. ## Vehicles we clean, and where we travel round Canada Whatever it is — private car, light van, light commercial, HGV, plant, construction machinery, farm vehicle — the same on-site service stands, and the filter never quits it. Canada is hardly ever a special trip: technicians are out on Villiers Place most weeks, and the same run covers Chester-le-Street, Whitehill and the places out past Pelton Fell. Phone anyway from farther out across Durham. Coverage reaches UK-wide, and the slot you are offered hangs on the schedule rather than how far away you are. ## The patch around Canada Canada is a suburban area situated on the riverside in County Durham, with a relatively low elevation of 12 metres. Canada lies near the city of Durham, approximately 5.6 miles away, and is close to other nearby places such as Chester-le-Street and Bridge End. Canada has a population of around 4973 people, predominantly living in semi-detached housing. ## Things Canada drivers ask about DPF cleaning Does a long run sort it? Sometimes, if you spot it in time and the vehicle has not dropped into limp mode. Ten minutes to Tesco and back will not do it; motorway speed, held for a while, will. Broadly how long does it last? Bank on typically around 2 hours, with a second clean adding to that where the filter is heavily blocked. What does it run to in Canada? Beginning from £299, with a charge for the call-out that covers the scan and advice on what to do next. Both the vehicle and where you are move it, which is why pricing happens by phone. Is it needed for me to be around? No. The vehicle wants somewhere to stand for a couple of hours; nobody expects you to stand with it. Preferring to be there is no problem: the regeneration then goes out on the move, monitored. When can someone get to Canada? Depending on the calendar, often same-day or next-day is usual. One call to 0303 330 1830 and you will know what the DH area has open. Does the filter leave the vehicle? It is treated where it is, on the call-out service. Lifting a filter off or bolting one back on come to anything work we do whichever way. Suppose the light returns? An engineer heads back out to Canada — the 30-day warranty takes in aftercare. ## Booking a DPF clean around Canada Whichever it is doing — light, limp mode, smoke — mention so when you call 0303 330 1830.
