Exactly what chokes diesel particulate filters across Greensted Green
Greensted Green is a rural hamlet, and the runs that belong to it are exactly what a DPF struggles with. Run through your own week: Ongar Primary School and back, Greensted Road at a standstill, five minutes at Sainsbury's, a short run to Harlow Mill. None of it lasts for long enough or gets hot enough to complete a burn cycle, so what should clear banks up instead.
Unless you have a regular cause to get out on the M11, under 3 miles from Greensted Green, or drive over to Chelmsford under 15 miles away, weeks can roll on without the long steady drive that would clean out the DPF on its own. That is behind a great many of the calls we take from Greensted Green, Toot Hill and Lower Bobbingworth Green.
By the time the lamp comes on, the signs have generally been mounting for weeks: pull and acceleration fade, the revs no longer climbing the way they used to, there may be a diesel tang in the interior or sooty smoke on acceleration, fuel use gets appreciably worse, and auto stop/start silently stops working. You should not read the lamp going out again as the all-clear.
What mobile DPF cleaning involves, once the van is across Greensted Green
You do not have to take the car anywhere. Our van comes to your own drive, to somewhere off Blake Hall Road, or to the Sainsbury's car park, and here is what happens next.
- Nothing gets fetched from a branch. Everything the job takes arrives with the engineer, in a fitted-out working van. You get the numbers before anything is cleaned: a read run, and real-time data taken straight from the engine ECU. You get a hard figure rather than a hunch: how choked the DPF is by percentage and soot weight, with the sensor readings, glow plugs and associated hardware tested alongside it. A dashboard light by itself does not confirm the DPF is the cause.
- If it is the filter, a treatment agent is introduced through the right access point on that particular vehicle and given time to expand inside it, breaking up the ash and soot that regeneration alone will never shift. Where a unit is heavily clogged, the clean is simply run a repeat time.
- A regeneration run then clears what is left. If you are about and content to come along, that goes as a driven regeneration on a monitored drive out of Greensted Green — the sort of run the DPF has been missing. If not, a stationary regeneration is performed on the spot and the live readings verified once it is done. A second scan verifies the change, resets the warning light and flags any fault codes still unresolved.
Somewhere to sit for the length of the job is the only thing needed, and the motor will need to run at points. You do not have to wait with the motor at all. A front drive in Greensted Green does the job, so does a workplace car park, so does a quiet spot by Toot Hill Village Hall.
Verifying the diesel particulate filter, and not something else, is to blame
Two things are settled by the questions by phone: whether cleaning the DPF will solve the faults you have reported, and what the quote is. That is why they are put to you, and it is not small talk. Every job is costed prior to an engineer being dispatched to Greensted Green.
One thing is solved by a clean: a filter that is clogged. A great many things throw a light on the dashboard, and cleaning answers only one of them. The pre-clean check distinguishes the two, and where the fault lies elsewhere — a sensor, an EGR fault, an AdBlue system, glow plugs, injectors, a turbo — cleaning the DPF will not solve it, and we will tell you ahead of any treatment rather than after you have already paid for it.
DPF regeneration, and when it is not enough by itself
Attempt a long run before you call anyone. It will scour a DPF unit that is only just starting to load up. Allow it under 3 miles out of Greensted Green to the M11 and hold a steady pace, or take the long way into Chelmsford. What will not do it is another five-minute run over to North Weald Bassett. Once you are in limp-home mode with the light on, you are well past the stage a regeneration can fix. The soot load is too high for it to scour the DPF, and a mobile visit in Greensted Green is the practical next step.
Ahead of choosing, a couple of things are worth flagging:
- Getting the filter cored out is not a solution. A vehicle without a functioning DPF cannot pass its MOT, and driving the vehicle is illegal.
- You keep your original DPF. It is cleaned in situ and sent back to work — nothing is swapped on the mobile visit, whatever DPF renewal implies as a search term.
There is one proviso, and it is a vehicle that will not fire up at all — the on-site route in Greensted Green is no use then. Twenty-four hours from arrival is the turnround at our own workshop, plus overnight carriage each way. The unit has to be removed and crated by your garage or you first, then picked up by carrier. You will require a garage to take the filter off and put it back, on either of them.
In Greensted Green: what DPF cleaning costs
You are paying from from £299 for call-out DPF regeneration. No flat rate would be truthful. What a particular job adds up to depends on the car it is mounted on, and on what the filter proves to need once it has been read, and this is why the number is given over the phone rather than posted. Two things feed into the price: what you drive, and approximately where you are — across at Toot Hill, across towards Toot Hill Village Sign, in Greensted Green proper, or anywhere else across the CM postcode area. The number is quoted before anyone is dispatched.
The work includes a 30-day warranty extending to follow-up care after cleaning. You get an engineer back out to Greensted Green if the DPF dash light reappears within that term. Everyone asks what a guarantee is good for, and that is the useful answer rather than a crest on a web page.
Had a gentlemen called Attila came to my address n done a full dpf clean n reset very friendly and professional i would definitely recommend 5 star thank you.
Prompt service from Liam who took 1 hour to discover the problem and advise accordingly, with no need to have a new DPF which was quoted at £1600 from Mazda. Weight off my mind, many thanks.
Igor the engineer was informative and to the point and actually sorted the issue out. Experience from query to the actual job was great.

Agricultural machinery, site and construction plant, HGVs, vans and light commercial vehicles, cars — one on-site visit takes in all of it. The DPF is treated in situ on each one, at your premises rather than ours.
Our technicians are down Greensted Road week in week out, and they serve Greensted Green and everywhere round it — Toot Hill, Lower Bobbingworth Green, and out beyond North Weald Bassett and Chipping Ongar.

A choked catalytic converter is a different fault with different symptoms — sluggishness, a sulphurous smell, unusual warmth underneath, and frequently a P0420 stored code.

How long does the DPF clean last?

Do I actually need a DPF? Can I have it deleted instead?
Taking it on the road without a functioning DPF is illegal, and the vehicle will fail its MOT. Taking it out is not a fix, and it is not something we offer.
Am I looked after if the DPF dash light shows again?

How long does a DPF clean last?
How the car is used from then on decides that. The M11 lies under 3 miles from Greensted Green, and Chelmsford is further still. Either run is worth far rather more to the unit than short hops around Toot Hill. Whoever attends will run through the driving that suits your own car.
