Your car isn't taken anywhere and the filter will not leave it. A fitter comes at your door in Greenway, cleans the diesel particulate filter fitted to the vehicle and carries out a DPF regeneration. The visit takes typically around 2 hours, the clean starts from £299, and the number is fixed by the phone before anyone leaves. If the light is showing and the car is down on power, this page is for you. That is how most drivers get to us. ## Your DPF light is showing — what then? It might not be the unit whatsoever. That is the opening thing. Cleaning is not where a visit opens. A check is — a number of faults appear as the same signal. It tells what you manage with the vehicle between now and the visit. - Worth a try before you book anything: amber light, motor driving as normal, just one even run, no cost. - A drive will not reach it now — limp mode means that window has by then shut. - Diesel smell in the cabin, or black smoke under acceleration — stop planning long drives and get it seen to. ## Signs the car has been giving you Late news, the light. The symptoms usually grow for weeks before it arrives: - tailing off on power, especially uphill - the revs no longer rise the way they used to - worse fuel consumption - without a word, the stop/start gives up - diesel in the cabin, or smoke on the way up through the gearbox None of that is evidence by itself. Alongside the light, it is a fair guess the filter is blocked. ## What chokes diesel particulate filters round Greenway Being a residential suburb, Greenway generates just the driving a DPF manages worst. The school run to Bishops Lydeard Church School, Greenway at a halt at half eight, five minutes to ALDI, the dash to Taunton — none of it runs long enough or is hot enough for the filter to finish a regeneration. Instead of clearing, the soot collects. The M5 stands under 10 miles from Greenway, Wells under 50 miles off, and unless something carries you out that way often, entire weeks go by without the long steady run that empties a unit. Geography does not help. ## DPF regeneration, and the stage limp mode kills it The car is defending itself, which is what limp mode means. A proper drive works by starting a regeneration, and that is precisely what limp mode rules out: power capped, revs pinned, no regeneration available. So the usual advice to get it up the motorway is sound advice, right until it stops being. The filter needs cleaning rather than road work once the car has slipped into limp mode. ## DPF cleaning at the motor in Greenway Nothing leaves the vehicle. That throws people. The DPF remains fitted where it is and the work goes on around it, on a driveway, in a works car park, any place it can wait for two hours or so. A scan happens first — live data off the ECU, soot load by percentage and by actual weight, and a check of the sensor readings, glow plugs and associated components, so other faults are ruled out before a thing is started. A cleaning solution then goes in through the access point on that car, spreading inside the filter to loosen soot and ash a regeneration by itself will never shift. A second pass is sometimes needed on heavily loaded filters. A regeneration is next, clearing what the clean has loosened. Either it is done as a monitored drive out of Greenway, with you there, or it runs where the motor waits and the live data is verified after. Finally the scan runs again — the change verified, the light put out, anything still showing logged. Both reports reach you by email, so the numbers are recorded. ## The failures a DPF clean cannot fix One thing is what cleaning cures — a filter blocked with soot and ash. It does no good for: - a temperature or pressure sensor reporting a restriction that is not there - EGR valves that jam open - AdBlue system problems - glow plugs or injectors blocking the regeneration running whatsoever - a turbo putting oil through the filter The first check is there for just that. If one of those proves the fault, you hear about it at the outset rather than once the money has gone already. Lastly, two things. A vehicle with the filter gutted cannot pass its MOT, and driving it is an offence, so that is no remedy. What gets looked up as DPF renewal swaps nothing: your filter is cleaned in place and goes back into work. ## Costs for DPF cleaning around Greenway Treatment opens from £299, with the call-out charge on top of that for every visit — it pays for the call-out, the booking, the scans and the advice. No single flat rate would be truthful, so the figure is settled by the phone once we have the vehicle and what the filter is going to need. Two things change it: what you own, and where you are — Greenway itself, out at Bishops Lydeard, or farther out in the TA postcode area. Where the scan says cleaning will not work, you are not billed for a clean. The call-out charge nonetheless stands, because the visit, the check and the advice have been done. If the light comes back inside that period, an engineer travels back out to Greenway — the work includes a 30-day warranty including aftercare. ## What we clean, and how far we travel round Greenway Cars and estates, vans and light commercials, HGVs and lorries, plant and construction machinery, agricultural vehicles — a single mobile service across all of them, and on all of them the filter is cleaned where it sits rather than carried anywhere. Engineers are along Greenway most weeks, so Greenway is rarely a detour, and the same run takes in Bishops Lydeard, East Combe and the villages out past Ash Priors. Coverage is UK-wide, so farther out across Somerset is even so worth a ring, and what settles between today and tomorrow is the diary rather than the distance. ## A word on Greenway Greenway is a suburban area situated on the riverside in Somerset, with a relatively low elevation of 57 metres. Greenway lies near several small villages, including Bishops Lydeard and Ash Priors, and is within commuting distance of the city of Wells. Greenway has a population of around 796 people, predominantly living in detached houses. Greenway is also located a significant distance from London, at around 136 miles away. ## Things Greenway drivers ask about DPF cleaning Will a long drive clear it? It may, provided you catch it early enough and limp mode has not begun. Ten minutes to ALDI and back will not do it; motorway speed, held for some time, will. Broadly how long does it take? Bank on typically around 2 hours, with a second clean extending that where the filter is heavily blocked. What does it come to around Greenway? It opens from £299, plus the call-out charge paying for the visit, the diagnostic and the advice. The vehicle and your address both move the number, so we price on the phone. Must I be around in person? The motor needs a space for two hours or so. You need not be in it. The regeneration can be carried out as a monitored drive if you would rather be there. Getting to Greenway — how soon? Depending on the calendar, often same-day or next-day is normal. Ring 0303 330 1830 what is available across the TA area. Is the filter taken off the vehicle? On the call-out service, no: the filter is treated in place. That work — a filter off, a filter back on — is not work we do. What if the light reappears? Aftercare falls inside the 30-day warranty, and that includes an engineer returning to Greenway. ## Set up DPF cleaning across Greenway Whatever it is doing — light, limp mode, smoke — tell us so when you call 0303 330 1830.
