No body shop, no filter leaving. An engineer drives out to your place across New Hedges, treats the diesel particulate filter where it is, runs a DPF regeneration, and you hold on to the filter you came with. Nobody leaves until the number is agreed over the phone. The visit runs typically around 2 hours and the clean starts from £299. The light is showing and the motor is low on power — that is how we usually meet people, and roughly what this page is about. ## Your DPF light is lit — what then? It could not be the unit whatsoever. That is the opening thing. Plenty of faults put the same light on the very same panel, which is why a visit starts with a scan rather than with treatment. Second thing: how you drive it between now and then counts. - Amber light, vehicle still driving fine — a long even run can even now clear it on its own. Costs nothing, and worth a try before you book anything. - A drive will not reach it now — limp mode means that window has already closed. - Stop arranging long drives and get it seen to if the car stinks of diesel or there is black smoke when you accelerate. ## Before the light, what the motor was telling you The light is belated news. By the time it shows, the symptoms have normally been mounting for some time: - less power, above all going uphill - you notice the revs never reach where they always went - worse fuel economy - without a word, the stop/start bows out - the car reeking of diesel, or smoke when you pull away Alone, none of that is proof. It is a fair assumption the filter is loaded once the light is on as well. ## The explanation diesel particulate filters clog around New Hedges For a DPF, the least kind use is the type you get across a coastal village such as New Hedges. None of it lasts long enough or runs hot enough for the filter to complete a regeneration: the school run to the local primary school, St. Anne's Drive barely moving at half eight, ten minutes to Co-op Food, the run to Tenby. Soot that should clear collects instead. Unless you have a standing reason to drive out to the M4, under 50 miles from New Hedges, or across to St Davids under 50 miles away, entire weeks pass without a sustained stint. Geography is against you. ## Limp mode, and when DPF regeneration gives out What limp mode comes down to is the vehicle defending itself. A proper drive works by triggering a regeneration, and that is just what limp mode blocks: power capped, revs held down, no regeneration possible. Good advice, that motorway run — until the moment it is not. Once the vehicle is in limp mode you are past that point, and the filter needs cleaning rather than road work. ## The motor stays where it is for on-site DPF cleaning across New Hedges The filter does not come off. That is the detail most owners do not see coming: the job is done with the DPF still bolted to the car, on your driveway, in a work car park, anywhere the motor can wait for a few hours. The ECU is read first, reporting soot load by proportion and by weight, along with a check of sensors, glow plugs and associated parts, so nothing is touched while another fault is still in play. A cleaning fluid then is injected through the access port on that motor, opening out inside the filter to loosen soot and ash a regeneration alone will never budge. Where the filter is badly loaded, allow for a second pass. A regeneration is next, clearing what the clean has freed. That is a monitored drive out of New Hedges if you are along, or a static regeneration where the motor waits, with the running data checked once done. Both sets of figures go over by email, so the figures from either end are recorded. The second diagnostic is what confirms the change, puts out the light and logs whatever is still outstanding. ## Where cleaning is not the solution A clean cures one thing: a filter choked with soot and ash. It does little for: - pressure or temperature sensors flagging a restriction that is not there - the EGR valve stuck open - a fault in the AdBlue system - a regeneration that never runs, because of glow plugs or injectors - turbo failure, with oil getting into the filter The first diagnostic is there for exactly that. Proving to be one of them means hearing it before work begins, not after handing over anything. A couple more worth knowing. Having the filter hollowed out is not a solution — a vehicle without a functioning DPF will fail its MOT and driving it is against the law. And cleaning is sometimes searched for as DPF renewal: nothing is replaced, your original filter is treated in place and sent back into use. ## The figure of DPF cleaning in New Hedges The cleaning begins from £299. A call-out charge covers every visit, and covers the call-out itself, the booking, the diagnostic and the advice that follows. Once we are told what you run, and broadly what the filter will need, the number gets fixed by phone. A single price for every job would not be straight. The vehicle changes it, and so does the location — New Hedges, Broadfield, or anywhere otherwise out in the SA postcode area. You are not charged for treatment that the check says will not help. You nonetheless pay that charge: someone came out, carried out the check and gave you the advice. Aftercare is taken in by a 30-day warranty: should the light return within it, an engineer heads back to New Hedges. ## What we clean, and how far we go round New Hedges Whatever it is — estate, light van, light commercial, lorry, plant, construction machinery, farm vehicle — the one mobile service stands, and the filter never quits it. Technicians are along St. Anne's Drive nearly every week, so New Hedges is seldom a journey of its own, and the same run covers Broadfield, Saundersfoot and the villages out past Tenby. It is the schedule, not the distance, that picks whether it is one day or the next, and coverage reaches UK-wide — so ring even from even further out around Pembrokeshire. ## New Hedges itself New Hedges is a small coastal village in Pembrokeshire, situated near the western coast of Wales. New Hedges sits at an elevation of 78 metres, overlooking the surrounding countryside and coastline. New Hedges is characterised by its predominantly detached housing stock, reflecting its rural setting and relatively small population of around 286 residents. ## Questions New Hedges drivers ask about DPF cleaning Is a long drive enough on its own? Quickly enough, and with the car out of limp mode, yes — sometimes. Fifteen minutes to Co-op Food and back will not do it; motorway speed, sustained for some time, will. Broadly how long does it take? That is typically around 2 hours, though a heavily loaded filter can need cleaning twice, which runs on. How much does it cost across New Hedges? A clean begins from £299, and the call-out charge on top takes in the visit, the scan and the advice. Quoting is done by phone, since what you drive and where you sit both shift the figure. Have I have to be around? The car needs a place for two hours or so. You do not need to be in it. The regeneration can be run as a watched drive if you would prefer to be there. When can someone get to New Hedges? Depending on the schedule, often same-day or next-day is typical. One phone call to 0303 330 1830 and you will hear what the SA area has free. Does the filter come away from the motor? It is treated where it is, on the mobile service. Lifting a filter off or fitting one back on count as anything work we do whichever way. What if the light returns? An engineer comes back out to New Hedges — the 30-day warranty covers aftercare. ## Booking a DPF clean around New Hedges However it is doing — light, limp mode, smoke — mention so when you call 0303 330 1830.
