Your motor isn't taken anywhere and the filter does not leave it. An engineer arrives at your door across Lennie, treats the diesel particulate filter still on the vehicle and runs a DPF regeneration. Reckon on the visit taking typically around 2 hours. The clean starts from £299, agreed by the phone before anyone sets off. The light is showing and the car is low on power — that is how we usually come across people, and what this page deals with. ## What to do when the DPF light is on It could not be the DPF whatsoever. That is the opening thing. That light can arise from plenty of faults, not just 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. - A long constant run may even now manage it, provided the light is amber and the car runs fine. Costs nothing, so have a go at that before ringing. - Once the motor is in limp mode, a long run will not reach it. The window has closed. - Diesel smell in the cabin, or black smoke under hard acceleration — stop planning long drives and get it looked at. ## The vehicle has been telling you already Last news, the light. The symptoms generally build for a while before it shows: - less power, above all climbing uphill - the revs no longer climb the way they always did - fuel economy getting worse - a stop/start that has silently bowed out - the cabin stinking of diesel, or smoke when you press on Any one of those, taken by itself, is not evidence. The light with them indicates a full filter. ## Clogged diesel particulate filters near Lennie, and the reason For a DPF, the poorest motoring is the kind you find across a rural hamlet such as Lennie. The school run to the local primary school, Turnhouse Farm Road at a crawl at half eight, ten minutes to Scotmid, the dash to Edinburgh Gateway — nothing of it lasts long enough or gets hot enough for the filter to see through a regeneration. Instead of burning off, the soot collects. Neither is distant from Lennie: under 3 miles to the M8, under 10 miles to Edinburgh. Neither is on the way to anywhere most weeks, though, so the run that would scour a filter simply never happens. ## DPF regeneration, and the stage limp mode stops it It is self-defence: that is all limp mode is. Output is limited, the revs will not rise, and the regeneration the filter wants can no longer happen — which is the whole difficulty, because a long drive works by starting that regeneration. So the standard advice to get it up the motorway is sound advice, until it is not. Once the motor is in limp mode you are the far side of that point, and the filter needs a clean rather than driving. ## Call-out DPF cleaning where the motor stands across Lennie The filter does not budge. That is the part most drivers do not expect: the job takes place with the DPF yet bolted to the vehicle, on your driveway, in a work car park, any place the motor can stand for a while. The ECU is interrogated first, reporting soot load by percent and by actual weight, along with a look over of sensor readings, glow plugs and associated components, so nothing is cleaned while another fault is still open. A cleaning fluid next is injected through the access port on that car, expanding inside the filter to lift soot and ash a regeneration on its own will never shift. Badly blocked filters sometimes need a second pass. Next, a regeneration clears everything the clean freed. If you are there, that is run as a monitored drive out of Lennie; if not, on the spot where the car sits, with the real-time data read once done. Finally the scan runs again — the change verified, the light reset, anything still outstanding written down. Both reports arrive with you by email, so the numbers are kept. ## What a DPF clean will not fix One thing is what a clean answers — a filter clogged with soot and ash. It does no good for: - the wrong figure from a temperature or pressure sensor - an EGR valve jammed open - an AdBlue system fault - injectors or glow plugs that stop a regeneration running whatsoever - the turbo pushing oil into the filter Which is why the check happens first. When one of those is the fault, you find out about it in advance rather than once the money has changed hands already. A couple more worth bearing in mind. Having the filter hollowed out is not a remedy — a vehicle without a serviceable DPF will fail its MOT and driving it is illegal. And cleaning is sometimes looked up as DPF renewal: nothing is exchanged, your original filter is treated in place and sent back into use. ## Figures for DPF cleaning in Lennie A call-out charge holds whatever follows, and takes in the visit, the booking fee, the check and the advice passed on. Treatment itself starts from £299. Publishing a flat rate would not be truthful. We agree it by phone, once the car and its probable needs are known. Whereabouts you are counts as much as what you own: Lennie itself, Craigiehall close by, or otherwise out across the EH postcode area. You are not asked to pay for a clean that the check says will not work. The call-out charge even so applies, because the visit, the diagnostic and the advice have happened. A 30-day warranty covers aftercare on the work, and that includes an engineer coming back out to Lennie if the light reappears inside the period. ## Vehicles we clean, and where we reach round Lennie Whatever it is — private car, van, light commercial, HGV, plant, construction machinery, farm vehicle — the one on-site service holds, and the filter never quits it. Engineers are along Turnhouse Farm Road week in week out, so Lennie is rarely a detour, and the same run picks up Craigiehall, Cramond Bridge and the places out past Ingliston. Ring anyway from further out through City of Edinburgh. Coverage runs UK-wide, and the date you are offered comes down to the schedule rather than how far away you are. ## A line on Lennie Lennie is a small coastal hamlet in the City of Edinburgh, situated near the Firth of Forth at an elevation of 46 metres. Lennie lies close to several nearby settlements, including Turnhouse, Craigiehall, and Cramond Bridge, and is approximately 5.7 miles from Edinburgh. Lennie is characterised by its predominantly detached housing stock, reflecting its quiet and residential nature. ## Things Lennie drivers ask about DPF cleaning Will a long drive shift it? If you spot it in time, and the vehicle is not in limp mode, sometimes. A long run at motorway speed is what it wants — not ten minutes flat to Scotmid and back. About how long does it take? That is typically around 2 hours, though a badly blocked filter can need cleaning twice, which takes longer. How much does it cost across Lennie? Opening from £299, with a charge for travelling that covers the check and advice on what to do next. Settling it is done by phone, since what you own and where you sit both move the figure. Do I have to be there? A spot for the vehicle to sit, for a couple of hours, is all that is needed. Not you. If you would rather come along, the regeneration can be run as a supervised drive instead. Can someone travel to Lennie soon? You are offered often same-day or next-day, though it depends what is now in the diary. Ring 0303 330 1830 and we will let you what is available across the EH area. The filter — does it come off the motor? On the mobile service, no: the filter is cleaned in place. That job — a filter off, a filter back on — is not a job we do. And if the light comes back? An engineer heads back out to Lennie — the 30-day warranty covers aftercare. ## Put a DPF clean booked in Lennie Phone 0303 330 1830 and tell us what the vehicle is doing — the light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
