Your motor isn't taken off and the filter does not leave it. A fitter turns up at your address over in Gallantry Bank, treats the diesel particulate filter fitted to the motor and carries out a DPF regeneration. Nobody travels until the price is agreed over the phone. The visit runs typically around 2 hours and the clean starts from £299. If the light is already on and the vehicle is down on power, this page is for you. That is how most drivers end up here. ## DPF light on? What to do First thing: it is not necessarily the DPF. Plenty of faults put the same light on the same dashboard, which is why a visit starts with a scan rather than with cleaning. The use you do in the meantime counts. That is the second thing. - Amber light, motor still driving normally — a long even run can still clear it on its own. Costs zero, and worth trying before you call anything. - Car already fallen into limp mode — that window has closed. A drive will not touch it now. - A diesel smell in the car, or black smoke under the throttle, is the point to stop arranging long drives and call. ## The vehicle has been telling you already The light is belated news. By the time it shows, the symptoms have normally been building for some time: - less power, above all going uphill - the revs no longer pull the way they used to - the fuel economy is down - the stop/start quietly packing in - diesel in the interior, or smoke on the way up through the box None of that is evidence by itself. Alongside the light, it is a fair assumption the filter is loaded. ## What blocks diesel particulate filters round Gallantry Bank Gallantry Bank is a rural hamlet, and the motoring that belongs to one is the poorest kind for a DPF. The school run to Bickerton Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, Brunty Bank at a crawl at half eight, five minutes to The Co-operative Food, the dash to Wrenbury — not one bit of it goes on long enough or gets hot enough for the filter to complete a regeneration. What should burn away remains. The M53 sits under 15 miles from Gallantry Bank, Chester under 15 miles out, and unless something carries you out that way often, whole weeks slip past without the sustained run that clears a DPF. Geography does not assist. ## Limp mode, and when DPF regeneration gives out Limp mode is the vehicle defending itself. Output is limited, the revs will not rise, and the regeneration the filter requires can not run — which is the entire difficulty, because a proper drive works by setting off that regeneration. The common advice — get it up the motorway — is sensible, right until it is not. Once the motor is in limp mode you are past that point, and the filter requires a clean rather than driving. ## The vehicle stays where it is for mobile DPF cleaning round Gallantry Bank Nothing comes off the motor. That throws people. The DPF sits fixed where it is and the work goes on around it, on a drive, in a works car park, wherever it can sit for a few hours. The ECU is taken first, showing soot load by percent and by actual weight, along with a look over of sensor readings, glow plugs and associated hardware, so nothing is touched while another fault is still possible. Then the treatment. A cleaning solution goes in through the access point on that motor and spreads inside the filter, freeing the soot and ash a regeneration alone will never budge. Severely clogged filters sometimes take a second pass. Then a regeneration, to burn off what the clean has loosened. If you are there, that is run as a monitored drive out of Gallantry Bank; if not, on the spot where the car sits, with the live data checked once done. Then a second diagnostic, proving the change, resetting the warning light and logging anything still logged. Both reports are emailed over, so the before and after figures are recorded. ## When a DPF clean is not the fix A filter choked with soot and ash is the one thing treatment fixes. It will not help: - sensors, temperature or pressure, flagging a restriction that is not real - an EGR valve held open - AdBlue system problems - a regeneration that simply never runs, because of glow plugs or injectors - a turbo putting oil through the filter The first check is there for just that. You are warned before any work gets going, not after you have paid, where it turns out to be one of those. Cutting the filter out is not a fix: without a functioning DPF a vehicle fails its MOT, and driving it is an offence. DPF renewal is the phrase people type in, though nothing is replaced — your existing filter is treated in place and put back into use. Two more worth noting. ## Prices for DPF cleaning in Gallantry Bank Every visit takes a call-out charge — travelling to you, setting up the booking, running the diagnostic and giving the advice. The clean itself begins from £299. Publishing a flat rate would not be honest. We agree it on the phone, once the motor and its likely needs are established. The place you are matters as much as what you drive: Gallantry Bank itself, Egerton Green close by, or otherwise out across the SY postcode area. Where the diagnostic says cleaning will not work, you are not charged for cleaning. The call-out charge still applies, because the visit, the scan and the advice have been done. If the light returns inside that period, an engineer comes back out to Gallantry Bank — the job carries a 30-day warranty taking in aftercare. ## Where we travel around Gallantry Bank, and what we clean The one on-site service takes in cars and estates, vans of any size and light commercials, HGVs, plant and construction machinery and farm vehicles, and on every one the filter is treated in place rather than carried anywhere. Nearly every week there is already someone on Brunty Bank, so Gallantry Bank seldom means a special trip, and Egerton Green, Brown Knowl and the places past Fullers Moor come with it. Ring anyway from further out across Cheshire. Coverage runs UK-wide, and the day you are offered comes down to the diary rather than how far away you are. ## About Gallantry Bank Gallantry Bank is a small hamlet in Cheshire, situated inland at an elevation of 141 metres, approximately 10 miles from Chester.
