The school run across to Castle View Primary School, the tailback on Bank Road at half eight, a five-minute trip to Co-op Food and back, the dash to Matlock. None of them runs long enough or runs warm enough for the DPF to finish its own regeneration run, so soot that should burn off banks up instead. Geography does not do you any favours. The M1 lies under 10 miles from Matlock Bank and Derby sits under 25 miles away, so unless you frequently have a need to make that trip, weeks slip past without the long drive that would scour the DPF naturally. That is why we take so many calls from Matlock Bank, and from Matlock and Old Matlock a little further on. The lamp is the last to arrive. Long before it comes on, power and acceleration have fallen off, the rev counter have stopped climbing as they should, fuel economy has got noticeably worse, stop/start has without fuss stopped doing anything, and there is sometimes a diesel tang in the cabin or dark smoke under acceleration. A lamp that stops again by itself has still shown you something worth acting on. ## So what actually happens during a mobile DPF visit in Matlock Bank? Your own drive, a side street off Smedley Street, the Co-op Food customer car park while you get on with something else — our van works wherever it can stop. Here is the run of it once it arrives. The mobile unit is fitted out to carry the full job, so there is no trip back to a branch halfway through. Live readings is drawn from the vehicle's ECU first, and a system scan is taken, all before any cleaning commences. That tells us how choked the diesel particulate filter really is, by percentage and by soot weight, and examines the sensor feeds, glow plugs and associated components. The idea is to determine whether the DPF is actually the problem, because a warning light by itself does not confirm it. You cannot clear ash out with a regeneration, which is why the treatment fluid is introduced through the optimal entry point on the vehicle and allowed to expand inside the unit. Where a unit is heavily clogged, the clean is run a repeat time. The DPF regeneration run then clears off what is left. If you are around and willing to come along, that is done as a driven regeneration on a monitored run out of Matlock Bank — the type of run the unit has been going without. If not, a static regeneration is carried out on the spot and the live data verified once it is done. You are shown that light reset, the change verified, and any fault codes still outstanding written down for you. A spot, and a motor that can be turned over at times, is the whole of what the job asks from you. You do not have to hang about with the vehicle at all. A driveway over in Matlock Bank works, so does an office car park, so does a quiet corner over by Kingdom Hall. ## How our engineers confirm the diesel particulate filter is to blame Two things come out of the questions on the phone: whether a DPF clean will fix the signs you have described, and what the figure is. That is why they are put to you, and it is not a box-ticking exercise. Nothing is dispatched to Matlock Bank until the job has been quoted. Exactly one thing is solved by a cleaning: a unit that is blocked. All sorts of things put a light on a dashboard, and cleaning the DPF answers only one of them. Turbos, injectors, AdBlue systems, EGR valves, the glow plugs and sensors all cause trouble that a DPF clean will not resolve. The check before cleaning tells the two apart, and anything Mobile DPF Cleaner Matlock Bank finds gets flagged before the treatment commences rather than after you have already paid. ## The stage where DPF regeneration ceases to be enough by itself Where a diesel particulate filter is only just starting to fill up, a long trip scours it, and that is worth doing first. under 10 miles stands between Matlock Bank and the M1, and that is the drive to do, sitting at the pace steady. The long way round to Derby does the same work. Five more minutes out to Lumsdale and back does not. There is a soot level beyond which a regeneration by itself will not clear the DPF, and limp-home mode with the light on means you are beyond it. A call-out cleaning visit in Matlock Bank is the next thing to do. Two things worth knowing first: - Driving without a serviceable DPF is against the law, and the vehicle cannot pass its MOT. Hollowing the DPF out is not a cure. - No part is swapped on the on-site visit. The work is looked up as DPF renewal, but your original filter stays where it is and is put back into service. There is one proviso, and it is an engine that will not turn over at all — the on-site route in Matlock Bank is not available then. Twenty-four hours from it arriving is the lead time at our own premises, plus overnight delivery each way. The filter has to be taken off and crated by your garage or you first, then taken by carrier.
