Filters block here thanks to the way people use the roads, not because of anything unusual about the place. It still astonishes us how many DPF visits Mobile DPF Cleaner Five Ways does around Five Ways, given a head count of only roughly 250. Our engineers reach Five Ways and the rest of the CV postcode area regularly the same day or the next, though that comes down to how the week is already filling up. 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Thursday, and 7.30am to 5.30pm come Friday — those are the phone hours. The work itself operates every day of the week.
Why diesel particulate filters clog around Five Ways
Five Ways is a village, and the journeys that go with it are just what a DPF struggles with. Run through your own week: The Ferncumbe CofE Primary School and back, Shaw's Lane at a shuffle, five minutes at Co-op Food, a brisk run to Hatton. None of it goes on for long enough or climbs hot enough to complete a burn cycle, so what should burn away builds up instead.
If you have a regular need to get out on the M40, under 3 miles from Five Ways, or run over to Coventry under 10 miles away, weeks can slip past without the long unbroken run that would empty the unit of its own accord. That is behind a good many of the calls we take from Five Ways, Mousley End and Oldfield.
The warning light is a late arrival. Long before it appears, acceleration and power have tailed off, the engine revs have stopped climbing as they should, fuel use has got markedly worse, the stop/start has without fuss stopped responding, and there is sometimes a diesel odour in the interior or sooty smoke when you accelerate. The light merits attention even after it clears by itself.
What call-out DPF treatment covers, once the van is in Five Ways
The van turns up first, on a driveway or in a side street off Birmingham Road, or at the Co-op Food customer car park while you do something else. The rest of it follows from there.
- The technician arrives in a fully fitted mobile unit carrying everything the job needs, so nothing has to be brought from a depot. Nothing is treated until the engine ECU has been pulled and the scan is finished. That shows how full the DPF really is, by percentage and soot weight, and checks the sensor feeds, glow-plug circuit and related components. The object is to find out whether the DPF is really the cause, because a dash light on its own does not prove it.
- You cannot burn ash away with a burn cycle, which is why the cleaning fluid is introduced through the right entry point on the vehicle and left to expand inside the DPF. A badly loaded DPF may need a second clean.
- The remainder is then cleared by the DPF regeneration cycle. A static regeneration is performed where it stands if you would sooner not be involved, with the live figures checked once it is done. If you are around and are happy coming along, it can instead be done on the move, on a monitored trip out of Five Ways — the sort of run the unit has been denied. A follow-up scan ends the job: it proves the difference, resets the dashboard light, and reports whatever is still unresolved.
Somewhere to stand for the length of the job is the only ask, and the engine will need to turn over at points. A quiet corner near Church of St Leonard is as good as any, as is a car park at the office or a driveway in Five Ways, and none of them obliges you to hang about with it.
Making sure your diesel particulate filter really is the fault
No formality is involved. The questions by phone settle whether a DPF clean will put right the fault you have given us, and they fix the figure. A price is given first on every job, and only then is a DPF engineer sent to Five Ways.
If your unit is choked, cleaning the DPF is the remedy. You should not assume every dashboard light is cured by a cleaning. You are warned ahead of the cleaning, not after you have paid. A failed sensor, an EGR fault, an AdBlue system, the glow plugs, injectors or a turbo will not be fixed by cleaning the filter, and the check we run first is what distinguishes those from a genuine build-up.
When you are going to need more than a DPF regeneration
The cheapest thing to start with is a long unbroken run, and on a diesel particulate filter that has only begun to fill up it is enough. under 3 miles stands between Five Ways from the M40, and that is the run to make, holding the cruise steady. The long way around to Coventry does the same thing. Five more minutes out to Beausale and back does not. Cleaning at your address in Five Ways is the practical step once the light is lit and the vehicle has dropped into limp mode, because by then the ash and soot load is beyond what a regeneration alone will scour.
A couple of things worth noting before committing:
- Driving without a serviceable DPF is illegal, and the vehicle fails its MOT. Gutting the unit out is not a solution.
- DPF renewal is what people frequently type in, but nothing is replaced. Your original diesel particulate filter is cleared in place when a technician comes to you, and returned back to work.
There is one exception, and it is a car that will not fire up at all — the on-site method in Five Ways is no good then. The DPF can instead be removed by you or your garage, packed up and taken by a courier, cleared at our own premises within 24 hours of reaching us and sent back by overnight delivery. Mobile DPF Cleaner Five Ways does not take off or put back units on our own, for either service.
DPF cleaning prices in Five Ways
Call-out DPF regeneration starts out from £299. The motor and the shape of the DPF both move what a job adds up to, and this is why no flat figure is posted and why the number is settled to you by phone instead. Two things feed into the figure: what you own, and approximately where you are — across at Mousley End, over towards St Mary the Virgin, in Five Ways centre, or anywhere else across the CV patch. You will be given the number yourself ahead of anybody being sent out.
Aftercare is not charged separately. It comes within the 30-day warranty the work includes. If the DPF warning light comes back during that window, an engineer drives back out to Five Ways. That is the practical answer to the question everybody puts to us, and a more useful one than a badge on a web page.
Exceptional service, Logan was polite and personable. Explained the process and aftercare clearly, ensuring that everything was in order before asking for payment and leaving.

Everything Mobile DPF Cleaner Five Ways cleans diesel particulate filters on round Five Ways
There is no distinct commercial arm. The same on-site job is done on cars, on light commercial vehicles, on HGVs, on site and construction plant, and on agricultural vehicles. The DPF is cleaned in place on every one, at your own address rather than our own.
You are within the area whether you are in Five Ways, over in Mousley End or Oldfield, or over past Beausale and Shrewley. There is normally a van on Shaw's Lane most weeks. Being away from Five Ways is even so worth calling — coverage reaches right across Britain, not only Warwickshire.
Keeping the DPF clogging up again is what the aftercare is for. Both diagnostic readouts come by email once the work is done, along with advice pitched at the way the motor is genuinely used around Five Ways.
You may be dealing with the catalytic converter rather than the DPF. Sluggishness, a sulphur or rotten-egg smell, more heat than usual under the floor and commonly a P0420 code all lean that way — a different failure, easily mixed up with this one, and one our engineers also clean on the vehicle.

Everyday DPF cleaning queries in Five Ways
Around Five Ways, how much does DPF cleaning cost?
The starting figure is from £299. What you own and exactly where you are — Five Ways proper, over by Oldfield, or further out in the CV postcode area — both shift it, so Mobile DPF Cleaner Five Ways quotes honestly rather than approximate.
Do you drive to my address around Five Ways?
Mobile DPF Cleaner Five Ways does. Home or the office, anywhere in Five Ways or the surrounding Warwickshire area, an engineer comes to you. The DPF is cleaned where the vehicle stands and is never removed from it.
How fast is a technician over to Five Ways?
You will typically be offered the same day or the next, subject to what is already in the diary. What is available across the CV patch is something the office can tell you there and then — 0303 330 1830 is the number.
How much time does the DPF clean need?
A badly clogged DPF requires cleaning twice and runs longer, but around 2 hours is usual.
Is a DPF actually needed, or can I have it removed?
Using the vehicle without a serviceable DPF is an offence, and the vehicle will fail its MOT. Taking it out is not a cure, and it is not something our engineers offer.
The DPF warning light comes back on — what next?
You are sent an engineer back out to Five Ways, underwritten by the 30-day warranty.
After the cleaning, how long will it last?
That depends on how the car is run afterwards. Allow it a good run from time to time, out past Coventry, or under 3 miles from Five Ways down to the M40. That does far more good than nipping around Mousley End and back. The engineer who attends will show you what fits your car.
