The fitter turns up at your door in Lanteglos Highway and gets to work. The diesel particulate filter is cleaned on the motor, a DPF regeneration comes next, and you end up with the filter you came with. The visit takes typically around 2 hours, the clean opens from £299, and the price is settled over the phone before anyone leaves. If the light is showing and the vehicle is short of power, this page is for you. That is how most people arrive here. ## Your DPF light is lit — what then? The unit is not automatically what is to blame, and that leads. That light can arise from several faults, not merely one, so the visit opens with a scan and not with cleaning. Second thing: how you drive it between now and then makes a difference. - Amber light, motor yet driving fine — a long constant run can yet clear it by itself. Costs nothing, and worth attempting before you book anything. - That window has shut once the vehicle has fallen into limp mode. A drive will not help now. - Get it seen to rather than running it — diesel in the cabin, or smoke on acceleration, has gone beyond the long-run stage. ## Before the light, what the motor was warning you The light is last news. By the time it arrives, the symptoms have usually been mounting for weeks: - tailing off on power, above all uphill - an engine whose revs will not climb as before - fuel economy going worse - silently, the stop/start packs in - smoke under hard acceleration, or a diesel smell inside On its own, none of that is conclusive. It is a fair assumption the filter is full once the light is showing too. ## What clogs diesel particulate filters near Lanteglos Highway The motoring that belongs to a rural hamlet like Lanteglos Highway is the poorest kind for a DPF. A regeneration wants the time and heat, and gets none: not on the school run to Fowey Primary School, not on Bodinnick Heights at half eight, not on a few minutes to Co-op Food, and not on the run to Par. Instead of clearing, the soot load collects. The map does not assist either. The M5 is over 50 miles from Lanteglos Highway and Plymouth is under 25 miles away, so unless something carries you out that way often, weeks slip past without the sustained run that could empty the filter by itself. ## Limp mode, and when DPF regeneration stops Limp mode is the vehicle looking after itself. The entire catch is that a proper drive works by starting a regeneration, and under limp mode the revs will not rise and power is limited. So the standard advice to get it up the motorway is sound advice, up until it stops being. The far side of that line — limp mode — more driving will not do it, and the filter requires cleaning. ## DPF cleaning at the vehicle round Lanteglos Highway The filter does not leave it. That is the bit most drivers do not anticipate: the job is done with the DPF even now bolted to the vehicle, on your front, in a work car park, any place the car can stand for a few hours. A scan happens first — running data off the ECU, soot load by percent and by weight, and a look over of the sensors, glow plugs and connected components, so other faults are eliminated before anything is started. A solution after that goes in through the access point on that motor, opening out inside the filter to free soot and ash a regeneration by itself will never move. Heavily clogged filters sometimes take a second pass. Then a regeneration, to burn off what the clean has lifted. If you are there, that is run as a monitored drive out of Lanteglos Highway; if not, in place where the motor stands, with the live data read after. Then a second diagnostic, confirming the change, clearing the warning light and logging anything still logged. Both reports are emailed, so the before and after figures are kept. ## What a DPF clean will not touch Cleaning cures one thing: a filter choked with soot and ash. It does no good for: - sensors, pressure, showing a block that is not real - the EGR valve held open - AdBlue system faults - worn glow plugs or injectors, so no regeneration ever runs - a turbo putting oil through the filter Which is why the scan happens first. Transpiring to be one of them means learning it before work begins, not after paying for it. Lastly, two things. A vehicle with the filter gutted will fail its MOT, and driving it is illegal, so that is no solution. What gets looked up as DPF renewal swaps nothing: your filter is cleared in place and goes back into work. ## The price for DPF cleaning in Lanteglos Highway The clean starts from £299. A call-out charge covers every visit, and pays for the call-out itself, the booking, the diagnostic and the advice that goes with it. Once we know what you run, and about what the filter will want, the number gets agreed by phone. A single price for everyone would not be honest. Two separate things change it: what you drive, and where you are — Lanteglos Highway itself, out at Pont, or further out across the PL postcode area. Where the diagnostic says a clean will not work, you are not charged for a clean. The call-out charge even so holds, because the visit, the check and the advice have taken place. If the light returns inside that period, an engineer travels back out to Lanteglos Highway — the clean comes with a 30-day warranty taking in aftercare. ## Where we get to around Lanteglos Highway, and what we clean Whatever it is — car, light van, light commercial, heavy goods vehicle, plant, construction machinery, agricultural machine — the very same call-out service stands, and the filter never departs it. Engineers are along Bodinnick Heights week in week out, so Lanteglos Highway is seldom a journey of its own, and the same run covers Pont, St Veep and the spots out past Golant. It is the diary, not the distance, that decides whether it is one day or the next, and coverage extends UK-wide — so call anyway from further out across Cornwall. ## About Lanteglos Highway Lanteglos Highway is a small coastal hamlet in Cornwall, situated near the villages of Penpoll and Pont, and overlooking the surrounding countryside from an elevation of 92 metres.

If you catch it early, and the vehicle is not in limp mode, sometimes. That means motorway speed for a steady stretch, rather than a brief trip to Co-op Food. The visit lasts how long? Bank on typically around 2 hours, with a second clean lengthening that where the filter is badly blocked. What does it run to across Lanteglos Highway? It begins from £299, plus the call-out charge taking in the visit, the diagnostic and the advice. Both the vehicle and where you are shift it, which is why settling it goes by phone. Do I have to be present? No. The motor needs space to stand for a couple of hours; nobody expects you to stand with it. Preferring to be there is fine: the regeneration then is done out on the road, monitored. Getting to Lanteglos Highway — how soon? That depends on the diary, but it is often same-day or next-day. Ring 0303 330 1830 and you will hear what is available across the PL area. Does the filter leave the motor? Cleaned where it stands, on this service, so no. Taking a filter off or fitting one back on count as anything work we do either way. The light returns — then what? Taken in by the 30-day warranty: aftercare, and an engineer heading back to Lanteglos Highway. ## Book a DPF clean in Lanteglos Highway Ring 0303 330 1830 and set out what the vehicle is doing: a light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
