The fitter arrives at your place over in Godwick and sets up. The diesel particulate filter is treated fitted to the car, a DPF regeneration runs after it, and you end up with the filter you came with. The visit takes typically around 2 hours, the clean begins from £299, and the price is fixed on the phone before anyone leaves. Most drivers find us with the light showing, and the motor down on power. That is exactly what this page is meant for. ## Your DPF light is lit — what then? First thing: it is not always the unit. Treatment is not where a visit begins. A check is — plenty of faults appear as the same warning. Second thing: how you run it between now and then matters. - A long constant run may still be enough, provided the light is amber and the motor runs normally. Costs nothing, so try that before booking. - A drive will not touch it now — limp mode means that window has now closed. - A diesel smell inside, or black smoke under the throttle, is the moment to stop arranging long drives and call. ## What the motor has been showing you The light is last news. By the time it shows, the symptoms have normally been building for some time: - less power, especially climbing uphill - the revs no longer rise the way they used to - consumption that is worse than it was - stop/start silently giving up - smoke under acceleration, or a diesel smell in there Any one of those, taken by itself, is not proof. Next to the light with them, the filter is a fair bet. ## What chokes diesel particulate filters round Godwick For a DPF, the least kind use is the type you find around a small village such as Godwick. The school run to Brisley Church of England Primary Academy, Fakenham Road at a crawl at the morning rush, a few minutes to Tesco, the hop to the nearest station — nothing of it runs long enough or gets hot enough for the filter to finish a regeneration. Soot that should burn away builds up instead. Neither is a long way from Godwick: under 50 miles to the M11, under 25 miles to Norwich. Neither is on the way to anywhere most weeks, though, so the journey that would empty a filter hardly ever comes. ## The stage a DPF regeneration can no longer happen The car is defending itself, which is what limp mode is. The whole catch is that a long drive works by starting a regeneration, and in limp mode the revs will not pull and power is limited. Sound advice, that motorway run — until the day it is not. Once the vehicle is in limp mode you are the far side of that point, and the filter wants a clean rather than driving. ## The vehicle stays where it is for on-site DPF cleaning round Godwick The filter does not leave it. That is the bit most owners do not see coming: the job takes place with the DPF even now fixed to the motor, on your drive, in a work car park, anywhere the motor can stand for a couple of hours. First a diagnostic. Real-time ECU data, the soot load as a proportion and as a weight, the sensor feeds, the glow plugs, the connected hardware — all of it read before any of it is touched. Then comes the clean itself: solution in through the motor's own access point, expanding inside the filter and loosening what a regeneration cannot. Where the filter is severely clogged, expect a second pass. Next, a regeneration drives off everything the clean lifted. That is a monitored drive out of Godwick if you are along, or a static regeneration where the motor stands, with the real-time data checked after. Both sets of figures are sent by email, so the figures from either end are kept. The second scan is what verifies the change, clears the light and logs whatever is still showing. ## Where treatment is not the fix One thing is what treatment cures — a filter clogged with soot and ash. It does nothing for: - the wrong reading from a pressure or temperature sensor - EGR valves that hang open - AdBlue system faults - a regeneration that never starts, because of glow plugs or injectors - the turbo pushing oil into the filter Finding that out is the first check's job. Transpiring to be one of them means learning it before work gets going, not after handing over a penny. A couple more worth knowing. Having the filter hollowed out is not a remedy — a vehicle without a serviceable DPF will fail its MOT and driving it is illegal. And cleaning is sometimes described as DPF renewal: nothing is replaced, your own filter is treated in place and put back into use. ## What DPF cleaning comes to across Godwick The cleaning opens from £299. A call-out charge is added to every visit, and covers the call-out itself, the booking, the check and the advice that follows. Naming a flat rate would not be truthful. We settle it over phone, once the motor and its likely needs are established. What you drive and where you are both shift it: Godwick itself, over at Tittleshall, or further out in the PE postcode area. Where the diagnostic says a clean will not help, you are not asked to pay for cleaning. The call-out charge still stands, because the visit, the diagnostic and the advice have taken place. Aftercare is included by a 30-day warranty: should the light return within it, an engineer returns to Godwick. ## Vehicles we clean, and where we travel round Godwick Whatever it is — car, van, light commercial, heavy goods vehicle, plant, construction machinery, agricultural machine — the very same mobile service stands, and the filter never quits it. Week in week out there is already someone on Fakenham Road, so Godwick seldom means a detour, and Tittleshall, Hamrow and the villages past Whissonsett come with it. Ring anyway from even further out around Norfolk. Coverage extends UK-wide, and the date you get depends on the calendar rather than how far away you are. ## A note on Godwick Godwick is a small locality in the Norfolk countryside, situated approximately 21.9 miles from Norwich and 95.7 miles from London.

It might, provided you spot it early and limp mode has not begun. A long run at motorway speed is what it wants — not fifteen minutes to Tesco and back. The visit takes how long? It is typically around 2 hours. A badly clogged filter can need a second clean, which lengthens that. What does it cost in Godwick? Beginning from £299, with a charge for the call-out that takes in the diagnostic and advice on what to do next. Both the vehicle and where you are move it, which is why settling it happens by phone. Have I got to be present? The motor wants a space for two hours or so. You need not be in it. The regeneration can be done as a watched drive if you would rather be there. How soon can someone come to Godwick? You are offered often same-day or next-day, though it depends what is now in the calendar. Call 0303 330 1830 and you will learn what is available across the PE area. Will the filter be taken off? Not on the mobile service — it is done where it sits. Getting a filter off or bolting one back on count as anything something we do whichever way. Suppose the light comes back? Aftercare falls inside the 30-day warranty, and that includes an engineer heading back to Godwick. ## Get a DPF clean booked in Godwick Talk us round what the motor is doing on 0303 330 1830, whether that is smoke, limp mode or the light.
