An engineer comes at your door across Shrawley, treats the diesel particulate filter while it is attached to the motor, carries out a DPF regeneration, and you keep the filter you came with. Nobody sets off until the price is settled on the phone. The visit lasts typically around 2 hours and the clean begins from £299. 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 showing — what now? First thing: it is not necessarily the DPF. That light can come from several faults, not merely one, so the visit starts with a check and not with a clean. The motoring you manage in the meantime matters. That is the next thing. - Car still driving normally on an amber light — try a long steady run first. It costs nothing at all and regularly shifts the filter without help. - Once the motor is in limp mode, a long run will not shift it. The window has closed. - A diesel smell in the car, or black smoke under acceleration, is the point to stop arranging long drives and ring. ## The vehicle has been warning you already By the time the light appears, things have usually been deteriorating for some time. It is last news: - climbing uphill, the power falls off - revs that will not rise the way they always did - worse fuel consumption - the stop/start quietly bowing out - smoke under acceleration, or a diesel smell inside By itself, none of that is proof. Next to the light alongside them, the filter is a fair guess. ## The reason diesel particulate filters clog round Shrawley For a DPF, the least kind driving is the type you get in a rural village such as Shrawley. A regeneration takes the time and heat, and sees none: not on the school run to Astley CofE Primary School, not on Rectory Lane at half eight, not on ten minutes to Tesco, and not on the dash to Hartlebury. Unburnt soot that should burn off banks up instead. Unless you have a routine cause to get out to the M5, under 10 miles from Shrawley, or across to Worcester under 10 miles away, whole weeks go by without a long unbroken drive. Geography is against you. ## Limp mode, and when DPF regeneration stops working The car is looking after itself, which is what limp mode means. The whole problem is that a long drive works by setting off a regeneration, and under limp mode the revs will not climb and power is held down. Running it up the motorway is the usual advice, and it works as far as a point. In limp mode you are the far side of that point: cleaning is what will do it, not more miles. ## DPF cleaning at the car in Shrawley The filter does not come off. That is the part most people do not anticipate: the job is done with the DPF still fixed to the car, on your drive, in a work car park, wherever the motor can stand for a couple of hours. First a check. Real-time ECU data, the soot load as a proportion and as a figure, the sensor feeds, the glow plugs, the related hardware — all of it taken before any of it is started. Soot and ash that a regeneration on its own will never budge are lifted next, by a cleaning fluid passed through the access point on that car, which spreads inside the filter. Heavily loaded filters sometimes take a second pass. Next, a regeneration burns off everything the clean freed. Stay with the car and it becomes a monitored drive out of Shrawley. Leave it and the regeneration is done in place, with live data verified once it is done. Then a second check, proving the change, clearing the warning light and noting anything still logged. Both read-outs are emailed, so the before and after figures are recorded. ## The failures a DPF clean cannot fix Only one fault is answered by a clean: the filter choked with ash and soot. It does nothing for: - pressure sensors reporting a blockage that is not there - the EGR valve stuck open - a failure in the AdBlue system - a regeneration that simply never starts, because of glow plugs or injectors - the turbo passing oil into the filter The first scan is there for just that. You are told before any work starts, not after you have settled up, should it turns out to be one of those. Lastly, two things. A vehicle with the filter hollowed out cannot pass its MOT, and driving it is an offence, so that is no remedy. What gets typed in as DPF renewal replaces nothing: your own filter is treated in place and goes back into service. ## The figure of DPF cleaning across Shrawley A call-out charge stands whatever follows, and pays for the visit, the booking fee, the check and the advice offered. Cleaning itself begins from £299. No single flat rate would be truthful, so the figure is settled over the phone once we have the vehicle and what the filter is likely to need. Where you are matters as much as what you run: Shrawley itself, Noutards Green nearby, or further out in the WR postcode area. Treatment that will not do it is not cleaning you pay for, and the check is what says so. What even so applies is the call-out charge, since the visit happened, the diagnostic was done and the advice was passed on. Aftercare is covered by a 30-day warranty: should the light reappear within it, an engineer heads back to Shrawley. ## What we clean, and how far we go near Shrawley Whatever it is — estate, light van, light commercial, HGV, plant, construction machinery, farm vehicle — the same on-site service stands, and the filter never quits it. The same trip that has engineers on Rectory Lane most weeks picks up Shrawley, Noutards Green, Little Witley and the villages beyond Holt Heath. Coverage is UK-wide, so further out around Worcestershire is still worth a phone call, and what decides between today and tomorrow is the diary rather than the distance. ## About Shrawley Shrawley is a small village in Worcestershire, situated inland at an elevation of around 50 metres, near the city of Worcester.

Early enough, and with the motor out of limp mode, yes — sometimes. A sustained run at motorway speed is what it takes — not five minutes to Tesco and back. The visit takes how long? Plan on typically around 2 hours — badly clogged filters sometimes require a second pass, which lengthens it. How much does it come to across Shrawley? Beginning from £299, with a charge for coming out that covers the check and advice on what to do next. The vehicle and your address both change the figure, so we settle it on the phone. Must I be around in person? You do not need to stand with it — the car just needs space to sit for a couple of hours. Come along if you prefer, and the regeneration becomes a watched drive. Can someone come to Shrawley soon? It is often same-day or next-day, depending on what is now in the diary. Phone 0303 330 1830 what is available across the WR area. Will the filter be removed? On the mobile service, no: the filter is done in place. That job — a filter off, a filter back on — is not something we do. What if the light comes back? An engineer travels back out to Shrawley — the 30-day warranty takes in aftercare. ## Have a DPF clean booked around Shrawley Tell us through what the motor is doing on 0303 330 1830, whether that is smoke, limp mode or the light.
