The diesel particulate filter never leaves the vehicle. It is treated wherever the vehicle is standing in Tilly Down, and a DPF regeneration is performed before the engineer packs up. Not a thing is taken away and the motor sits in your hands. Before anyone is sent out, you will know the price and have a visit booked. Just call 0303 330 1830 and let us know how the motor has been behaving. About two hours is the normal job. Figures for mobile DPF treatment around Tilly Down start from £299. Filters clog here down to the way people get about, not because of anything out of the ordinary about the place. It genuinely amazes us how many DPF visits Mobile DPF Cleaner Tilly Down does around Tilly Down, given a head count of only around 231. Mobile DPF Cleaner Tilly Down reaches Tilly Down and the rest of the SP postcode area regularly the same day or the next, though that hinges on how the schedule is already filled. Our cleaning service does not stop at a weekend, but the phones do keep normal hours: 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Thursday, and 7.30am to 5.30pm on Friday. ## Diesel particulate filters in Tilly Down, and why they choke If you drive in and out of Tilly Down, a small village, you are racking up the journeys a DPF handles worst. The school run over to Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, the crawl down Back Lane at the morning rush, a short trip to Co-op Food and back, the hop to Andover. None of those goes on for long enough or gets hot enough for long for the filter to complete its own burn cycle, so soot that should clear banks up instead. Just under 15 miles to the M4, and under 25 miles to Salisbury. Neither is a long way, but neither is on the way to anything most weeks, so units here hardly ever get the long unbroken drive that empties them. Hence the volume of calls from Tilly Down and from Appleshaw and Clanville. The warning light is late news. Long before it shows, acceleration and power have dropped away, the rev counter have given up climbing the way they used to, fuel use has got appreciably heavier, auto stop/start has silently stopped working, and there can be a diesel smell inside the car or sooty smoke under acceleration. A lamp that goes out again by itself has still shown you something worth acting on. ## Everything on-site DPF regeneration in Tilly Down actually covers You do not have to bring the car anywhere. The mobile unit pulls up on your driveway, to somewhere off Privet Lane, or to the Co-op Food car park, and here is what happens next. The fitted van is fitted out to hold the full job, so there is no trip back to a workshop halfway through. You are given the readings before anything is treated: a read run, and live data pulled straight from the ECU. That establishes how full the DPF unit actually is, as a percentage and by soot weight, and checks the sensors, plugs and connected components. The idea is to settle whether the DPF is really the culprit, because a dashboard light on its own does not show it. If it is the DPF, a cleaning fluid is fed through the right injection point on the vehicle and left to work inside it, loosening the ash and soot that regeneration alone will never move. A thoroughly loaded DPF may need a second clean. A regeneration cycle then clears off what is left. The filter has been denied the long hot runs, and a dynamic regeneration on a monitored trip out of Tilly Down hands it one — if you are about and willing to come. If not it is a static burn on the spot, and the live data is reviewed afterwards. Any fault codes still unresolved are flagged at that moment, once a follow-up scan has proved the change and cleared the dashboard light. Somewhere to wait for the duration is the only thing needed, and the motor will need to run at times. A driveway over in Tilly Down, an office car park, a quiet corner by St Peter — any of those is fine, and you need not be there with it. ## How do you know the diesel particulate filter is the fault? No formality is involved. The questions by phone determine whether a cleaning will cure the fault you have given us, and they set the price. A quote is given first on every job, and only then is a technician sent to Tilly Down. If your unit is blocked, a clean is the remedy. You should not assume every dashboard light is solved by a cleaning. Turbos, injectors, AdBlue systems, EGR valves, glow plugs and sensors all throw up trouble that a DPF treatment will do nothing for. The check we run first tells the two apart, and anything we find gets said ahead of the work rather than after you have already paid. ## Is DPF regeneration on its own ever the whole answer? Attempt a long drive before you phone anyone. It will clear a diesel particulate filter that is only beginning to clog. under 15 miles separates Tilly Down from the M4, and that is the run to make, holding the speed steady. The long way out to Salisbury does the same thing. Five more minutes over to Penton Grafton and back does not. Once you are in limp-home mode with the light showing, you are well past the point a regeneration can reach. The soot load is too great for it to scour the DPF, and a call-out clean in Tilly Down is the sensible next thing to do. Ahead of choosing, two things are worth knowing: - Using the vehicle without a functioning DPF is illegal, and the vehicle will fail its MOT. Gutting the DPF out is not a fix. - DPF renewal is what people frequently search for, but nothing is replaced. The original unit is treated in place when an engineer comes to you, and sent back to work. An engine that will not start at all needs the other option, because treating it where it is parked in Tilly Down depends on the engine turning. Cleaning then is done at our workshop instead, within 24 hours of the unit reaching us, with overnight courier back. Getting it crated up and on to a driver is down to whoever removes it. Neither service includes us taking a unit off or fitting one again. ## DPF cleaning prices for Tilly Down On-site DPF cleaning starts out from £299. You get the number on the phone rather than off a list, because two things change it: the vehicle, and what the DPF proves to need. Two things feed into the price: what you own, and approximately where you are — out by Appleshaw, across towards Appleshaw Village Hall, in Tilly Down centre, or anywhere else across the SP area. You will have the number ahead of anyone being sent out. You have a 30-day warranty on the work, and follow-up care is covered under it. The question everyone wants to know is what happens if the light reappears. It is answered by an engineer returning to Tilly Down during the period, which is worth rather more than a crest on a web page. ## Vehicles Mobile DPF Cleaner Tilly Down cleans diesel particulate filters on near Tilly Down There is no distinct commercial service. The same on-site work is done on cars, on light commercial vehicles, on HGVs, on plant machinery, and on farm machinery. You never take anything to us. On all of them the DPF is cleaned in place, at your premises. Appleshaw, Clanville, Penton Grafton, Weyhill — all of it is served, along with Tilly Down centre, and Back Lane sees our engineers most days. Phone even if you are outside Tilly Down or anywhere else in Hampshire, because the coverage runs right across the country. You are forwarded both diagnostic sets of figures, from before cleaning and after it, together with guidance pitched at how the vehicle actually gets driven round Tilly Down. That last part is what stops the filter from clogging again. Catalytic converters are cleaned on the vehicle as well, which counts because a blocked one is easily muddled with a clogged DPF. Its symptoms are different — slow response, a rotten-egg or sulphur smell, more heat than usual under the floor, and often a P0420 stored code. ## Tilly Down in brief Tilly Down is a small locality in Hampshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 103 metres.
