No workshop, no filter coming off. An engineer comes to your address in Clubworthy, cleans the diesel particulate filter as it sits, performs a DPF regeneration, and you end up with the filter you arrived with. Nobody travels until the price is fixed by the phone. The visit runs typically around 2 hours and the clean begins from £299. Written for the state most drivers are in: the light showing, the car short for power, and the job still to arrange. ## The DPF light is on. What now? Not the filter, automatically. Main thing to note. Several faults put the very same light on the very same dashboard, which is why a visit starts with a diagnostic rather than with a clean. It matters what you manage with the motor between now and the appointment. - A long constant run may still manage it, provided the light is amber and the car drives as normal. Costs nothing at all, so have a go at that before calling. - That window has gone once the vehicle has fallen into limp mode. A drive will not get there now. - Diesel smell in the car, or black smoke under the throttle — stop booking long drives and get it seen to. ## Signs the vehicle has been sending you Symptoms have generally been building for weeks before the light so much as arrives. Last news, in other words: - tailing off on power, especially uphill - the revs no longer rise the way they used to - the fuel economy is poorer - stop/start silently packing in - smoke under acceleration, or a diesel smell inside Any one of those, taken by itself, is not proof. It is a fair assumption the filter is loaded once the light is on as well. ## Choked diesel particulate filters round Clubworthy, and the cause The motoring that belongs to a rural hamlet like Clubworthy is the worst sort for a DPF. Run through an ordinary week: North Petherwin School and home again, B3254 at a crawl before half nine, a five-minute run to The Co-operative Food, a hop to the nearest station. Not much there runs long enough or runs hot enough to finish a regeneration. The soot that should clear banks up instead. Neither is distant from Clubworthy: under 50 miles to the M5, under 50 miles to Plymouth. Neither is on the way to much most weeks, though, so the run that would empty a filter hardly ever happens. ## The moment a DPF regeneration can no longer complete What limp mode amounts to is the car looking after itself. Pulling power is limited, the revs will not rise, and the regeneration the filter requires can not happen — which is the whole catch, because a sustained drive works by setting off that regeneration. So the usual advice to take it up the motorway is sound advice, until it is not. Once the car is in limp mode you are the far side of that stage, and the filter needs treatment rather than road work. ## DPF cleaning at the vehicle in Clubworthy On your drive, in a work car park, wherever the car can sit for a couple of hours: the job takes place with the filter even now fixed on, which is the part most people do not see coming. Nothing is started until other faults are eliminated. That involves a diagnostic first: live data off the ECU, soot load by percentage and by actual weight, and a check of the sensor readings, glow plugs and associated hardware. A cleaning fluid then is fed in through the access port on that vehicle, spreading inside the filter to free soot and ash a regeneration alone will never budge. Heavily loaded filters sometimes take a second pass. What the clean has lifted is then burned off by a regeneration. Come with the motor and it becomes a monitored drive out of Clubworthy. Park it and the regeneration runs in place, with real-time data read once it is done. Finally the diagnostic runs again — the change verified, the light cleared, anything still open noted. Both sets of figures come to you by email, so the numbers are on record. ## Where a clean is not the answer Cleaning answers one thing: a filter choked with soot and ash. It does nothing for: - a pressure sensor showing a block that is not there - EGR valves that jam open - the AdBlue system playing up - faulty glow plugs or injectors, so no regeneration ever runs - oil coming through the filter from a faulty turbo Which is why the check goes first. Where it turns out to be one of those, you are let know before any work gets going rather than after you have settled up for it. A couple more worth noting. Having the filter cut out is not a fix — a vehicle without a working DPF cannot pass its MOT and driving it is an offence. And cleaning is sometimes searched for as DPF renewal: nothing is replaced, your own filter is cleared in place and put back into use. ## DPF cleaning charges around Clubworthy A call-out charge stands whatever follows, and pays for the visit, the booking fee, the check and the advice passed on. Cleaning itself opens from £299. The number is agreed by the phone, once we have the vehicle and what the filter is going to need. No flat rate could be straight. What you own and where you are both move it: Clubworthy itself, across at West Curry, or further out across the PL postcode area. Where the diagnostic says a clean will not work, you are not asked to pay for a clean. Because the visit, the scan and the advice have taken place, the call-out charge still applies. Aftercare is included by a 30-day warranty: should the light return within it, an engineer comes back to Clubworthy. ## Where we get to near Clubworthy, and what we clean The one mobile service spans private cars, vans of any size and light commercials, HGVs and lorries, plant and construction machinery and farm vehicles, and on every one the filter is treated in place rather than moved anywhere. Week in week out there is usually someone on B3254, so Clubworthy hardly ever means a special trip, and West Curry, Higher Troswell and the places past Boyton follow. Phone anyway from even further out around Cornwall. Coverage extends UK-wide, and the day you are given hangs on the diary rather than how far away you are. ## The patch around Clubworthy Clubworthy is a small hamlet in inland Cornwall, situated at an elevation of 163 metres, and is characterized by its predominantly detached housing.

Sometimes, if you catch it early enough and the car has not slipped into limp mode. It needs a long run at motorway speed, not five minutes or so to The Co-operative Food and back. The visit lasts how long? Bank on typically around 2 hours, with a second clean extending that where the filter is heavily clogged. In Clubworthy, what does it cost? It begins from £299, plus the call-out charge paying for the visit, the check and the advice. Settling it is done by phone, since what you run and where you sit both shift the figure. Must I be around in person? The vehicle requires a spot for two hours or so. Nobody expects you to be in it. Ride along if you would rather, and the regeneration is done as a monitored drive. When can someone come to Clubworthy? That hangs on the calendar, but it is often same-day or next-day. Ring 0303 330 1830 what is open across the PL area. Does the filter come away from the motor? Not on the mobile service — it is done where it is. We will not lift filters off or put them back on, either way. The light returns — then what?
