A DPF engineer turns up in a kitted-out working van, treats the DPF unit while it is still attached to the motor, performs a DPF regeneration, and hands you back the car you arrived with. Two hours or thereabouts does for the whole thing, at figures from £299, settled over the phone first. ## Look for this from a DPF cleaning visit across Thompson Somewhere for the fitted van to park. An engine that can be run at intervals. That's genuinely the whole of it. Beyond that, the visit takes care of itself: - You get a hard figure for the soot load ahead of any cleaning beginning — pulled off the vehicle's ECU by weight and percentage, with sensor readings and plugs tested while it's hooked up. - Ash and soot a regeneration would never budge are what this step breaks up, using a cleaning fluid injected at that motor's entry point and left to expand inside the unit. - The regeneration then clears whatever the clean has lifted. That'll happen on the spot, or out on a monitored trip through Thompson if you like coming along. - A follow-up scan verifies the change, resets the dash light, and writes down any codes still unresolved. Both diagnostic reports are emailed afterwards, so the start and finish figures are on record. ## Where you can have the cleaning done near Thompson Anywhere the vehicle can stand for the length of the job. Which normally comes down to one of these: - Your own driveway across in Thompson - The car park at work - The spare end of a forecourt - A space just off School Road - A shoppers' car park such as Tesco, while you get on with your day You're free to go and leave it, and nothing leaves the car while you're gone. ## The reason diesel particulate filters clog round Thompson It's the day-to-day driving rather than the unit, and in a rural village such as Thompson that pattern is the worst kind for it. The school run to Thompson Primary School, the crawl on Church Road at half eight, ten minutes to Tesco and straight back, the dash to Harling Road — none of it lasts long enough or runs hot enough for the filter to finish a regeneration cycle, so unburnt soot that should burn away banks up instead. Only under 50 miles to the M11 and under 25 miles to Norwich from Thompson. Neither is far. Neither is on the way to much most weeks, though, so the journey that would clear a filter never comes. You'll almost certainly have picked up on something already. A smell of diesel inside, black smoke when you put your foot down, acceleration falling off, revs that won't climb, worse fuel use, and stop/start giving up without a word. That builds for a while before the light shows. ## What will call-out DPF cleaning not fix? One fault is fixed by a treatment: the filter choked with ash and soot. You should not assume the light means the filter, and the scan settles the question before any work is done to the vehicle. None of the following is fixed by treatment: - A temperature or pressure sensor reporting a restriction that is not there - An EGR valve stuck open - A fault in the AdBlue system, on the models that have one - Plugs or injectors preventing the regeneration starting - Oil passing into the unit from a worn turbo Well before any job begins is when you hear, rather than once the money has changed hands. DPF renewal is the common search term, though no part is exchanged — the same unit is treated on the vehicle and put back to work. Hollowing the filter out is no solution either, since the MOT then is failed and the road use becomes unlawful. ## The no-cost thing to attempt before anything It costs nothing to try, and on a lightly loaded DPF it usually works. under 50 miles separates Thompson and the M11, and that is the drive to take, keeping the pace steady. The long route into Norwich does too. Ten minutes to Pockthorpe and home does not. Once the light is on and the vehicle has dropped into limp mode, that window has shut and an on-site cleaning visit is the practical next step. ## Call-out DPF cleaning pricing in Thompson Figures for mobile DPF cleaning start from £299. Not one visit comes without the call-out charge. What it buys is the engineer's trip, the booking, the scan and the advice that comes after. What a particular job adds up to turns on the motor and on what the filter turns out to need, so the price is settled over the phone rather than posted as a flat rate. Thompson itself, across at Broadflash, or the far side of the IP postcode area — where you are feeds in, and so does the vehicle. Both are agreed before anybody sets off. The work comes with a 30-day warranty including aftercare. If the DPF dash light returns within that term, a technician returns to Thompson. ## Vehicles we clean DPFs on around Thompson The same on-site work takes in: - Cars and saloons - Vans and light commercials - HGVs - Site plant and site machinery - Farm machinery and machinery Cleaning in place is the method on every one, and it happens at your address across in Thompson rather than at our premises. A motor that will not start rules out the mobile service. A garage removes the unit instead, a courier picks up it, and our workshop clears it within 24 hours of reaching us. You will need a garage to get the unit off and put it back, on either of them. ## Covering Thompson and the IP area Broadflash, Griston, and the smaller places beyond Pockthorpe and Stow Bedon all sit on the same run as Thompson, and our vans are along Church Road most weeks. Wider afield across Norfolk is still worth calling. Coverage runs nationwide; what decides whether it is today or tomorrow is the local calendar rather than the mileage. ## Call-out DPF cleaning around Thompson: frequent questions How long am I without the car? Two hours or so, unless the filter's badly blocked and has to be treated twice. In Thompson, what does on-site DPF cleaning come to? It starts from £299, and there's a call-out on top covering the journey, the check and the steer. The car and your whereabouts both shift the figure, so we price by phone. Where do you really do the work? Whichever suits: your home or your workplace, anywhere across Thompson or the surrounding Norfolk area. Nothing is detached. Wherever the motor is left is where the work is done. When can an engineer reach Thompson? You will usually be offered the same-day or the next, depending on what is already booked. Ring 0303 330 1830 and we will tell you straight away what is open across the IP postcode area. Do I still pay if you are unable to treat it? You'll meet the call-out either way, because the engineer has driven out, read the vehicle and told you what's really wrong. Cleaning that does not proceed is not paid for. What happens if that light returns? An engineer drives back to Thompson. Aftercare of that sort is what the 30-day warranty includes. How many months will the cleaning last? That hinges on how the car is run afterwards. Short trips around Broadflash and back don't do much. A sustained run out towards Norwich, or along the M11, does far more. ## Book on-site DPF cleaning for Thompson Tell us what the motor is showing when you ring 0303 330 1830.
