The engineer turns up at your address in Hampton Green and gets to work. The diesel particulate filter is cleaned on the vehicle, a DPF regeneration comes next, and you end up with the filter you started with. Nobody travels until the number is fixed on the phone. The visit lasts typically around 2 hours and the clean starts from £299. Most drivers find us with the light showing, and the motor short of power. That is the situation this page is written for. ## DPF light on? What to do First thing: it is not automatically the DPF. A scan happens before the cleaning, because that same panel light has plenty of likely faults behind it. Second thing: how you handle it between now and then makes a difference. - Worth a shot before you call anything: amber light, vehicle driving normally, just one steady run, no outlay. - Once the motor is in limp mode, motoring will not shift it. The window has gone. - Diesel smell in the interior, or black smoke under hard acceleration — stop arranging long drives and get it looked at. ## The motor has been showing you already Last news, the light. The symptoms generally build for a while before it arrives: - dropping away on power, particularly uphill - the revs no longer climb the way they once did - consumption that is worse than it was - a stop/start that has silently given up - smoke under acceleration, or a diesel smell in the car Any one of those, taken singly, is not proof. The light alongside them suggests a loaded filter. ## Why diesel particulate filters clog round Hampton Green Hampton Green is a rural hamlet, and the driving that belongs to one is the poorest type for a DPF. A regeneration needs long enough and heat, and has neither: not on the school run to Malpas Alport Endowed Primary School, not on Old Coach Road at half past eight, not on a few minutes to Sainsbury's, and not on the run to Whitchurch (Shropshire). Instead of burning away, the unburnt soot builds up. Neither is far from Hampton Green: under 15 miles to the M53, under 15 miles to Wrexham. Neither is on the way to much most weeks, though, so the drive that would empty a filter never gets made. ## DPF regeneration, and the moment limp mode stops it The car is protecting itself, which is what limp mode amounts to. Power is held down, the revs will not pull, and the regeneration the filter needs can never complete — which is the real catch, because a sustained drive works by triggering that regeneration. Sound advice, that motorway run — up until the moment it is not. Once the vehicle is in limp mode you are beyond that line, and the filter wants a clean rather than road work. ## Where the vehicle stands is where the DPF is treated round Hampton Green On your drive, in a work car park, wherever the vehicle can sit for a while: the job is done with the filter even now fitted on, which is the part most people do not expect. First a diagnostic. Running ECU data, the soot load as a proportion and as a figure, the sensor readings, the glow plugs, the related parts — all of it read before any of it is started. After that comes the clean itself: cleaning fluid in through the vehicle's own access port, expanding inside the filter and freeing what a regeneration never can. Sometimes a filter is clogged enough to require doing twice. Next, a regeneration clears everything the clean loosened. Either it is done as a monitored drive out of Hampton Green, with you along, or it is done where the motor sits and the live data is read once done. Both sets of figures come through by email, so the figures from either end are on record. The second diagnostic is what confirms the change, clears the light and logs whatever is still outstanding. ## The failures a DPF clean cannot fix Treatment cures one thing: a filter choked with soot and ash. It does nothing for: - the wrong figure from a temperature or pressure sensor - a jammed EGR valve - an AdBlue system failure - a regeneration that never starts, because of glow plugs or injectors - a turbo putting oil through the filter That is what the first diagnostic is for. If one of those proves the fault, you learn of it at the outset rather than once the money has gone altogether. DPF renewal is what people look up, but no part is replaced: the filter you own is treated where it sits and sent back into service. Nor is having it gutted a remedy, since the MOT then fails and driving becomes an offence. Two more things worth bearing in mind. ## What DPF cleaning costs across Hampton Green Any visit takes a call-out charge — getting to you, setting up the booking, doing the diagnostic and passing on the advice. The clean itself opens from £299. No single flat rate would be straight, so the figure is settled over the phone once we have the vehicle and what the filter is going to need. What you drive and where you are both move it: Hampton Green itself, across at No Mans Heath, or farther out across the SY postcode area. Treatment that will not help is not treatment you pay for, and the diagnostic is what says so. What nonetheless applies is the call-out charge, since the visit took place, the scan was carried out and the advice was passed on. The work comes with a 30-day warranty taking in aftercare, including an engineer travelling back out to Hampton Green if the light returns inside that period. ## Where we get to around Hampton Green, and what we clean Whatever it is — estate, light van, light commercial, HGV, plant, construction machinery, agricultural vehicle — the very same mobile service stands, and the filter never leaves it. Week in week out there is by then someone on Old Coach Road, so Hampton Green hardly ever means a journey of its own, and No Mans Heath, Bickley Town and the spots past Hampton Heath are on the way. Further out around Cheshire is still worth ringing about — coverage reaches UK-wide, and it is the schedule rather than the distance that settles between one day and the next. ## A note on Hampton Green Hampton Green is a small hamlet situated on the riverside in Cheshire, with an elevation of around 113 metres.

It may, provided you get it in time and limp mode has not set in. A sustained run at motorway speed is what it wants — not five minutes or so to Sainsbury's and back. The visit takes how long? Expect typically around 2 hours — severely clogged filters sometimes take a second pass, which lengthens it. Across Hampton Green, what does it run to? A clean opens from £299, and the call-out charge on top covers the visit, the check and the advice. We settle it on the phone, because the vehicle and your address both shift the price. Have I got to be around? The motor requires a spot for two hours or so. Nobody expects you to be in it. If you would rather come along, the regeneration can be carried out as a monitored drive instead. When can someone get to Hampton Green? It is often same-day or next-day, depending on what is currently in the calendar. Ring 0303 330 1830 and we will let you what is free across the SY area. Will the filter be taken off? Done where it is, on this service, so no. That job — a filter off, a filter back on — is not something we do. And if the light returns? The 30-day warranty covers aftercare, including an engineer heading back to Hampton Green. ## Get a DPF clean booked in Hampton Green Whatever it is doing — light, limp mode, smoke — mention so when you phone 0303 330 1830.
