Your car isn't driven off and the DPF doesn't need to be taken off. The DPF engineer brings a fitted-out mobile unit to you, treats the unit where it sits, performs the regeneration and wraps up the job there. You'll know the number ahead of anyone setting off, from £299, and you're without the car for about a couple of hours. ## What a call-out DPF regeneration visit across Exbury entails The van wants somewhere to stand and an engine that can be run now and then. Beyond that, the visit looks after itself: - You get a hard figure for the soot level before any cleaning begins — read off the engine ECU by weight and percentage, with sensor feeds and glow-plug circuit looked at while it's hooked up. - You can't burn the ash away with a regeneration, so the fluid goes in through the entry point on that car and opens out inside the DPF. - You pick whether that goes where the motor sits or as a monitored trip through Exbury; either way the regeneration burns off whatever has been lifted. - Any codes still showing get written down at that moment, once the result has been confirmed and the light cleared. Both scans land in your inbox afterwards, so you've got the figures from either end of the job. ## Locations a DPF job can happen around Exbury There is no special need beyond somewhere to sit for the duration. That takes in most of what people have to hand: - A front drive at a home address across in Exbury - A company car park - Any free corner of a compound you can use - A corner off Summer Lane - The Co-op Food customer car park, while you carry on with your day You do not have to wait with the vehicle, and the filter never comes off it. ## Why diesel particulate filters choke around Exbury Exbury is a coastal village, and the day-to-day driving that goes with it is what a DPF manages worst. Run through the week: Blackfield Primary and Nursery School and back, Exbury Road at a standstill at half eight, five minutes at Co-op Food, a run to Netley. None of it lasts long enough or runs hot enough to see through a regeneration cycle, so the unburnt soot just banks up. Just under 10 miles to the M27 and under 10 miles to Southampton from Exbury. Neither is far. Neither is on the way to anything most weeks, though, so the drive that would empty a filter never comes. By the time the light shows, the warning signs have generally been building a while: power tailing off, revs that will not climb the way they should, a diesel smell in the cabin or dark smoke under acceleration, worse fuel use, and stop/start giving up quietly. ## What call-out DPF cleaning fixes, and what it does not A single fault is answered by a DPF clean: the unit clogged with soot and ash. You should not suppose the light means the DPF, and the diagnostic decides the question before any work is done to the vehicle. A clean will not help: - The system being told there is a block when there is not one - An EGR valve jammed open - A failure in the AdBlue system, on the engines that use one - Glow plugs or injectors blocking a regeneration from starting at all - Oil passing into the filter from a faulty turbo Where the fault rests in any of those, we say so ahead of any work beginning rather than after you have handed over the money for it. A couple more worth bearing in mind. Having the unit gutted is not a solution — a vehicle without a serviceable DPF cannot pass its MOT and driving it is an offence. And cleaning is sometimes searched for as DPF renewal: nothing is swapped, your own DPF is cleaned in place and put back into use. ## The no-cost thing to attempt to begin Worth attempting before you ring: a filter that's only just begun to load up will often clear itself. Let it under 10 miles out of Exbury to the M27 and hold it there, or swing the long way into Southampton rather than a few more minutes to Langley. Once the light is on and the motor has fallen into limp-home mode, that window has closed and a call-out job is the practical next move. ## What on-site DPF cleaning comes to around Exbury You are starting at from £299 for on-site DPF cleaning. You also pay a call-out charge on each visit. It takes in the travelling, the booking, the diagnostic and the advice you are handed. No flat rate would be honest, so the figure is settled over the phone once we have the motor and what the DPF is going to need. Let us know what you drive and roughly whereabouts you live — Exbury itself, over by Lower Exbury, or elsewhere in the SO postcode area — and you'll know the price prior to anyone travelling. Aftercare is not charged separately; it falls under the 30-day warranty the work carries. If the DPF light comes back inside that term, an engineer comes back out to Exbury. ## Which vehicles do we clean DPFs on around Exbury? The on-site work handles: - Cars of any model - Vans and light goods vehicles - HGVs and lorries - Site plant and building machinery - Farm and agricultural equipment You're not driving anything to us: on all of them the DPF is treated in place, at your place over in Exbury. Our own workshop steps in where an engine will not fire up: once your garage or you have lifted the unit off and a driver has delivered it in, it is treated within 24 hours. We do not take off or refit units for both services. ## The SO area and Exbury: the ground we cover You are on a route we already cover: Exbury Road carries our technicians most weeks, and the same route takes in Exbury, Lower Exbury, West Common and the villages out past Langley and Blackfield. Wider afield across Hampshire is still worth ringing. Coverage is nationwide. What settles the day is how full the diary already is, not how far out you are. ## Call-out DPF cleaning questions from round Exbury How much time does a call-out DPF visit take? A couple of hours or so, unless the filter's badly loaded and has to be cleaned twice. How much is on-site DPF cleaning in Exbury? The starting figure is from £299, with the visit, check and advice covered separately as a call-out. No flat rate would stand, since the car and the mileage both move the price. Do you drive to my home or my office? Either suits: your home or your workplace, right across Exbury or the surrounding Hampshire area. Nothing is detached. Wherever the car happens to be standing is where the job takes place. How soon can you get to Exbury? You will normally be looking at the day itself or the next, subject to what is already booked. Ring 0303 330 1830 and we'll tell you there and then what's free across the SO postcode area. What if the fault is not the filter as it turns out? You'll pay the call-out charge regardless, because the technician has driven out, scanned the car and told you what's genuinely wrong. Cleaning that does not happen is not billed. What happens if that warning light comes back? The 30-day warranty extends to aftercare, and that involves a return visit to Exbury. After the work, how many months will it hold up? How the car is run afterwards governs that. Let it a decent run from time to time — out past Southampton, or on the M27 — rather than short runs around Lower Exbury. ## Exbury on-site DPF cleaning: book it Let us know what the motor is doing when you call 0303 330 1830.
