An engineer turns up in a fully fitted van, clears the diesel particulate filter while it is still attached to the vehicle, performs a DPF regeneration, and leaves you with the car you began with. Reckon on roughly 2 hours. Figures begin from £299, and you'll have fixed the figure over the phone long before anyone is sent out. ## Look for this from a DPF cleaning visit around Hollacombe Hill Somewhere for the mobile unit to stand, plus an engine that runs periodically, is the whole of it. Beyond that stage, it runs itself: - Nothing is begun until a scan has been run and live readings drawn from the engine ECU, giving the load as a percentage and a weight, and checking the sensors, the glow plugs and connected components. - A cleaning agent goes in through the access point on that motor and opens out inside the filter, freeing the baked-on soot a regeneration alone will never move. - On the spot is the norm, with a monitored run around Hollacombe Hill available if you want to come along, and the regeneration burns off the lifted deposit whichever you pick. - A second scan verifies the difference, resets the light, and reports any fault codes still unresolved. Both diagnostic reports are forwarded afterwards, so the opening and closing figures are on record. ## Where does mobile DPF cleaning get done across Hollacombe Hill? Anywhere the car can sit for the couple of hours. Which generally means one of these: - At home in Hollacombe Hill, on the drive - A company car park - Any free corner of a yard you can use - A yard just off Traine Road - The Lidl car park round the corner, while you get on with something else You're free to go and leave it, and nothing is taken from the motor while you're gone. ## Exactly what blocks diesel particulate filters near Hollacombe Hill? Short, cold and stop-start journeys are what a DPF handles worst, and a coastal area like Hollacombe Hill throws up little else. The school run to Wembury Primary School, the crawl on Wembury Road at the morning rush, five minutes to Lidl and straight back, the run to Plymouth — none of it runs long enough or runs hot enough for the filter to finish a burn cycle, so the soot that should burn away collects instead. Unless you have a regular reason to get out on the M5, under 50 miles from Hollacombe Hill, or run over to Plymouth under 5 miles away, entire weeks pass without a drive of the sort that scours a filter out. Fuel use is normally what people pick up on first. Auto stop-start goes silently, pull drops away, the revs will not climb as they should, and there may be a diesel smell in the car or black smoke on acceleration — often well before the light comes on. ## What mobile DPF cleaning answers, and what it does not A choked DPF is what a clean cures. You should not assume the light means the unit, and the check settles the question ahead of any work on the vehicle. Not one of the following is cured by cleaning: - A temperature or pressure sensor reporting a blockage that is not there - An EGR valve held open - An AdBlue problem - Glow plugs or injectors stopping a regeneration from running at all - Oil coming into the unit from a faulty turbo Before any job begins is when you are told, rather than once the money has been taken. DPF renewal is the popular search term, though no part is replaced — the same DPF is cleared on the vehicle and returned to service. Hollowing the filter out is no solution either, since the MOT then cannot be passed and the road use becomes illegal. ## Having a go at a long run first A DPF only just starting to clog will often come good without anyone touching it. under 50 miles sits between Hollacombe Hill and the M5, and that is the journey to take, running the pace constant. The scenic route into Plymouth serves too. Five minutes to Hollacombe and home does not. Once the light is on and the car has fallen into limp mode, that window has gone and an on-site clean is the sensible next move. ## Mobile DPF cleaning costs around Hollacombe Hill You are looking at from £299 for on-site DPF cleaning.
