A technician turns up at your place in Roxburghs Court, treats the diesel particulate filter while it is attached to the motor, runs a DPF regeneration, and you hold on to the filter you started with. The visit runs typically around 2 hours, the clean begins from £299, and the figure is settled over the phone before anyone travels. If the light is already on and the car is down on power, this page is for you. That is how most owners get to us. ## Your DPF light is lit — what then? It could not be the unit whatsoever. That is the opening thing. Treatment is not where a visit begins. A check is — a number of faults register as the same light. How the vehicle is handled in the meantime counts too. - Amber light, vehicle yet driving normally — a long constant run can even now sort it by itself. Costs nothing, and worth trying before you book anything. - Once the car is in limp mode, a long run will not touch it. The window has gone. - Get it seen to rather than running it — diesel in the cabin, or smoke on the throttle, has gone past the long-run stage. ## Signs the motor has been giving you By the time the light arrives, things have generally been slipping for a while. It is late news: - climbing uphill, the power drops away - revs that will not climb the way they always did - fuel use turning worse - stop/start quietly bowing out - the car reeking of diesel, or smoke when you press on None of that is proof on its own. Next to the light with them, the filter is a fair guess. ## Blocked diesel particulate filters round Roxburghs Court, and the why Being a coastal area, Roxburghs Court generates precisely the motoring a DPF copes with least well. A regeneration needs time and heat, and has not much: not on the school run to the local primary school, not on Parliament Square at half eight, not on ten minutes to Maqbool's Supermarket, and not on the hop to Edinburgh Waverley. The unburnt soot banks up rather than burning away. Geography does not oblige either. The M8 is under 5 miles from Roxburghs Court and Edinburgh is under a mile away, so unless something pulls you out that way often, weeks slip past without the long steady run that would scour the filter by itself. ## DPF regeneration, and the point limp mode kills it Limp mode is the car looking after itself. With output limited and the revs pinned, the regeneration the filter wants can never happen at all. That counts, because triggering one is precisely what a sustained run does. So the usual advice to get it up the motorway is sound advice, right until it stops being. Once the car is in limp mode you are past that line, and the filter needs cleaning rather than driving. ## Where the vehicle stands is where the DPF is cleaned across Roxburghs Court Nothing leaves the motor. That surprises people. The DPF sits bolted where it is and the work goes on around it, on a driveway, in a works car park, anywhere it can stand for a couple of hours. The ECU is read first, showing soot load by percent and by actual weight, along with a look over of sensor readings, glow plugs and related components, so nothing is cleaned while another fault is still in play. Then the treatment. A solution is fed in through the access point on that vehicle and expands inside the filter, freeing the soot and ash a regeneration by itself will never shift. Severely blocked filters sometimes require a second pass. Next, a regeneration burns off everything the clean freed. Stay with the motor and it turns into a monitored drive out of Roxburghs Court. Leave it and the regeneration runs on the spot, with live data checked once it is done. A second check verifies the change, clears the warning light and logs anything still open. Both read-outs are emailed, so you keep the before and after figures to hand. ## Where treatment is not the solution Only one fault is answered by treatment: the filter choked with ash and soot. It does little for: - temperature or pressure sensors reporting a block that is not there - an EGR valve stuck open - AdBlue system failures - a regeneration that never starts, because of glow plugs or injectors - turbo failure, with oil getting into the filter The first diagnostic is there for exactly that. When one of those proves the fault, you learn of it at the outset rather than once the money has changed hands already. DPF renewal is what people type in, but no part is replaced: the filter you already own is cleaned where it sits and put back to work. Nor is having it gutted a remedy, since the MOT then fails and driving becomes an offence. Two more things worth knowing. ## DPF cleaning costs in Roxburghs Court Every visit attracts a call-out charge — coming out to you, making the booking, doing the check and passing on the advice. The clean itself opens from £299. Naming a flat rate would not be straight. We agree it over phone, once the motor and its likely needs are known. What you drive and where you are both move it: Roxburghs Court itself, over at New Town, or further out across the EH postcode area. Treatment that will not work is not treatment you pay for, and the scan is what says so. Because the visit, the diagnostic and the advice have happened, the call-out charge even so stands. If the light comes back inside that window, an engineer heads back out to Roxburghs Court — the work comes with a 30-day warranty covering aftercare. ## The vehicles we clean and the patch we cover around Roxburghs Court One on-site service spans private cars, panel vans and light commercials, HGVs and lorries, construction and plant machinery and farm vehicles, and on every one the filter is cleaned where it sits rather than moved anywhere. Engineers are along Parliament Square nearly every week, so Roxburghs Court is hardly ever a special trip, and the same run takes in New Town, Dumbiedykes and the places out past Danderhall. It is the schedule, not the distance, that decides whether it is today or tomorrow, and coverage runs UK-wide — so ring anyway from further out through City of Edinburgh. ## About Roxburghs Court Roxburghs Court is a locality in the City of Edinburgh, situated near the coast and close to the historic Old Town.
