The van arrives, the DPF engineer gets set up, and the job is done right there. The DPF unit is treated on the vehicle, a regeneration is performed, and when the engineer drives off, the vehicle stays exactly where it belongs. It lasts around 2 hours, begins from £299, and the number is agreed on the phone before anyone sets off. ## Plan on this from a DPF treatment visit in Raven Hill All the mobile unit wants is somewhere to stand, and the motor needs a motor that'll run periodically. Past that, the visit looks after itself: - A percentage and a soot weight come off the vehicle's ECU first, plus a look at the associated parts, sensor readings and glow-plug circuit, ahead of anything being touched. - Then the cleaning agent is fed in at the vehicle's entry point and opens out inside the unit, lifting the ash and soot that a regeneration would never have moved on its own. - You pick whether that happens where the vehicle is parked or as a monitored drive around Raven Hill; either way the regeneration burns off whatever has been lifted. - A follow-up scan proves the result, resets the light, and lists any fault codes still showing. Nothing about the figures is assumed — the figures from the start and the finish both arrive by email. ## Where the work can happen round Raven Hill Anywhere the car can stand for the duration. In reality that amounts to one of these: - At home across in Raven Hill, on the front - Where you park at work - The spare end of a forecourt - A corner off Carmarthen Road - The Lidl car park while you get on with something else The filter never is taken from the motor, so there is no reason for you to stay with it. ## What blocks diesel particulate filters round Raven Hill? It's the day-to-day driving rather than the unit, and in a residential suburb such as Raven Hill that pattern is the worst type for it. The school run to the local primary school, the queue along Ravenhill Road at half past eight, ten minutes to Lidl and straight back, the run to Swansea — none of it runs long enough or runs hot enough for the filter to see through a regeneration cycle, so the soot that should burn off builds up instead. Geography doesn't assist either. The M4 sits under 3 miles from Raven Hill and Swansea sits under 3 miles away, so unless something regularly takes you out down there, weeks slip past without the long unbroken drive that scours a filter. The light is a late arrival. Long before it appears, pull has fallen off, the revs have stopped climbing properly, fuel use has got worse, auto stop-start has given up quietly, and a diesel odour may have shown up in the cabin. ## On-site DPF cleaning: the faults it answers and the ones it does not A blocked DPF is what a clean answers. You should not take it the light means the unit, and the scan decides the question prior to any work on the motor. None of the following is cured by cleaning: - Faulty sensors reporting a restriction that is not there - An EGR valve held open - A fault in the AdBlue system, on the models that use one - Plugs or injectors stopping the regeneration from running - Turbo faults putting oil into the filter Before any work gets going is when you hear, rather than once the money has been paid. Driving without a serviceable DPF is against the law and the vehicle will not get through an MOT, so having the unit gutted achieves nothing. Nor is anything replaced: what people type in as DPF renewal is the original DPF, cleared where it sits and put back to work. ## Attempting a sustained run first It costs nothing to attempt, and on a barely clogged DPF it normally works. From Raven Hill that means the M4, under 3 miles away, at a steady speed, or the longer way out to Swansea — not another ten minutes to Waunarlwydd and back. Once the light's on and you're in limp-home mode, that window has gone and cleaning on site is what's available. ## How much is call-out DPF cleaning across Raven Hill? Call-out DPF treatment begins from £299. Getting to you, taking the booking, carrying out the check and offering you the advice are all paid for by the call-out charge, which holds whatever the outcome. No flat rate would be straight, so the figure is settled over the phone once we are told the car and what the filter is going to need. Let us know what you own and roughly whereabouts you are — Raven Hill itself, out by Cockett, or anywhere else in the SA postcode area — and you'll have the price before anyone sets off. You receive a 30-day warranty on the work, with aftercare included under it. An engineer drives back to Raven Hill should the DPF dash light come on again within that time. ## Which vehicles do we clean DPFs on around Raven Hill? One on-site service, taking in: - Cars and hatchbacks - Vans and light commercials - Heavy vehicles - Construction and plant machinery - Agricultural equipment The DPF is cleared in place on every one, at your door across in Raven Hill rather than at our premises. If the motor will not fire up at all, the mobile service cannot reach it: the DPF comes off by you or your local garage, is taken to our workshop by a courier, and is cleared within a day of reaching us. Neither route covers lifting a unit off or fitting one again. ## Where we travel near Raven Hill and the SA area There's generally a van on Ravenhill Road most weeks, so Raven Hill is hardly ever out of the way. The same route takes in Cockett and Caer-eithin, and the villages beyond Waunarlwydd and Gowerton. Being further out across Swansea is no obstacle. Coverage reaches UK-wide; what settles whether it is today or tomorrow is the local schedule rather than the mileage. ## On-site DPF cleaning around Raven Hill: common questions How much time am I without the motor? About two hours. A severely clogged DPF can require a repeat clean, which adds to that. What will on-site DPF cleaning come to me around Raven Hill? The opening figure is from £299, with the journey, scan and advice billed separately as a call-out. The vehicle and your address both change the figure, so we cost it over the phone. Do you drive to my home or my work? Both, right across Raven Hill or the surrounding Swansea area. The DPF doesn't move from the motor — it's cleaned exactly where the vehicle stands. How soon can an engineer make it out to me in Raven Hill? You will typically be offered the same day or the next, according to what is already in. Ring 0303 330 1830 and we'll tell you there and then what's open across the SA area. Is there a fee if it proves not to be the filter? You'll cover the call-out whatever happens, because the engineer has come out, scanned the car and told you what's genuinely wrong. Cleaning that does not happen is not billed. What happens if the DPF dash light comes back? The 30-day warranty extends to aftercare, and that involves a repeat visit to Raven Hill. How long will the clean hold up? The motoring that follows is what decides it. Short runs around Cockett and back don't do much. A sustained run out beyond Swansea, or down the M4, does far more. ## Set up on-site DPF cleaning for Raven Hill Whatever the car is showing, describe it to us on 0303 330 1830.
