A technician arrives in a fitted-out van, treats the DPF while it is on the car, runs a DPF regeneration, and returns the car you started with. A couple of hours or so takes care of the whole thing, at quotes from £299, settled over the phone first. ## How does a call-out DPF treatment visit around Hansel run? All the van needs is somewhere to stand, and the motor needs a motor that'll turn over now and then. Beyond that, it follows the same order throughout: - Nothing is started until a full scan has been carried out and live data pulled from the vehicle's ECU, giving the soot level as a percentage and a weight, and examining the sensors, glow plugs and associated parts. - Then the cleaning fluid is fed in at the vehicle's access point and expands inside the DPF, breaking up the baked-on soot that a regeneration would never have budged on its own. - The DPF regeneration then clears what the clean has lifted, either where it is where the car stands or on a monitored trip around Hansel if you would like to come along. - Any codes still outstanding get listed at that moment, once the result has been proved and the warning light cleared. Both diagnostic reports are emailed afterwards, so the before and after figures are documented. ## Where you can have the work done around Hansel There is no unusual need beyond space to stand for the duration. In reality that comes down to one of these: - A drive at home across in Hansel - The car park at the office - The far end of a forecourt - Off Totnes Road, in a yard - The Sainsbury's car park, while you do something else No waiting with the vehicle, and no DPF leaving it while you are gone. ## Exactly what chokes diesel particulate filters round Hansel? It's the driving rather than the filter, and in a coastal area such as Hansel that motoring is the worst kind for it. Soot that should burn off collects instead, because the filter never completes a regeneration run — not on the run to Stoke Fleming Community Primary School, not sat on Crestway at the morning rush, not on ten minutes to Sainsbury's, and not on the hop to Totnes. Geography doesn't do you any favours either. The M5 sits under 50 miles from Hansel and Plymouth stands under 25 miles away, so unless something routinely takes you out in that direction, weeks pass without the sustained run that empties a filter. You'll most likely have spotted something already. A hint of diesel inside, dark smoke when you put your foot down, power falling off, revs that won't climb, worse fuel use, and stop/start giving up without a word. That builds for a while before the light appears. ## What on-site DPF cleaning cures, and what it does not A choked filter is what treatment cures. Plenty of other faults show that same light on the same dashboard, which is why there's a check at the start and nothing is cleaned until that's done. Not one of the following is answered by a clean: - A pressure or temperature sensor reporting a block that is not real - A failed EGR valve - AdBlue system faults - Injectors or glow plugs that block the regeneration completing - Turbo problems passing oil into the DPF Where any of them is found to be the fault, you are told in advance rather than after you have settled up. Two more worth bearing in mind. Having the filter hollowed out is not a fix — a vehicle without a working DPF will fail its MOT and driving it is against the law. And cleaning is sometimes looked up as DPF renewal: nothing is replaced, your own unit is cleaned in place and put back to work. ## Have a go at a sustained run before booking A DPF only beginning to load up will often clear without anyone touching it. Another five more minutes to Slapton and back won't manage it. You need the M5, under 50 miles from Hansel, held at a steady speed — or the longer way out to Plymouth. Once the light's on and you're in limp-home mode, that window has shut and cleaning at your address is what's available. ## What you will pay for mobile DPF cleaning around Hansel On-site DPF regeneration begins from £299. Getting to you, taking the booking, carrying out the check and giving you the advice are all covered by the call-out fee, which stands whatever follows. You'll be given the price by phone rather than from a list, because the vehicle and the condition of the unit both change it. Two things fix the quote: what you own, and whereabouts you are — Hansel itself, across at Eastdown, or further out in the TQ postcode area. It is agreed ahead of a soul leaving. A 30-day warranty backs the work, aftercare included. If the DPF dash light reappears within that window, a technician drives back out to Hansel. ## Whatever you drive, we treat its DPF near Hansel All of these receive the same on-site service: - Your own car - Light goods vehicles and panel vans - HGVs - Plant and site machinery - Farm equipment and machinery Working in place is the approach on every one, and it is done at your door across in Hansel rather than at a workshop of ours. If the car will not fire up at all, the mobile service cannot help: the DPF comes off by you or your garage, is taken to our premises by courier, and is cleared within 24 hours of it arriving. We do not detach or refit units for either service. ## Covering Hansel and the TQ area Our vans are down Crestway most weeks, so Hansel is seldom a special trip. The same trip takes in Eastdown and Bowden, and the smaller places out past Slapton and Stoke Fleming. Further out across Devon, the call is still worth making. Coverage extends nationwide; what governs whether it is today or tomorrow is the local schedule rather than the distance. ## Common on-site DPF cleaning questions across Hansel How long does the job take? You are facing around two hours, plus more where the unit needs doing again. How much is call-out DPF cleaning around Hansel? The base figure is from £299, with the visit, check and advice charged for separately as a call-out. Where you are and what you run both shift it, which is why the quote is given by phone. Where do you actually do the work? Either works: your home or your workplace, right across Hansel or the surrounding Devon area. The unit is treated where the car stands and is never detached from it. How soon can you get to Hansel? According to the week's diary, the same day or the next is the normal answer. Phone 0303 330 1830 and we'll tell you straight away what's available across the TQ area. What if the issue is not the unit in the end? Whatever happens that charge holds, since it pays for the travelling, the check and the guidance. Cleaning that does not happen is not paid for. What happens if that dash light comes back? The 30-day warranty covers aftercare, including a DPF engineer returning to Hansel. How many months before I need it doing again? The driving that follows is what decides it. Out towards Plymouth, or down the M5, is worth far more to the DPF than short trips over to Eastdown and back. ## Get on-site DPF cleaning in Hansel A call to 0303 330 1830 and an explanation of the fault is all it takes.
