The engineer arrives at your door in Tresham and starts. The diesel particulate filter is cleared still on the vehicle, a DPF regeneration follows, and you end up with the filter you came with. You'll have a number by phone before anyone departs, the clean beginning from £299, and the visit taking typically around 2 hours. Most people find us with the light already on, and the car low on power. That is exactly what this page is aimed at. ## The DPF light is on. What next? The filter is not always what is at fault, and that leads. A clean is not where a visit opens. A diagnostic is — a number of faults show up as the same warning. How the car is run in the meantime matters too. - Worth a try before you call anything: amber light, motor driving normally, just one steady run, no charge. - Vehicle already dropped into limp mode — that window has gone. A drive will not touch it now. - Stop planning long drives and get it seen to if the car reeks of diesel or there is black smoke when you accelerate. ## Before the light, what the motor was warning you The light is belated news. By the time it shows, the symptoms have usually been building for some time: - tailing off on power, particularly uphill - you see the revs stop short of where they used to go - worse fuel consumption - silently, the stop/start gives up - the car reeking of diesel, or smoke when you pull away Any one of those, taken singly, is not proof. It is a fair assumption the filter is loaded once the light is showing too. ## Why diesel particulate filters clog around Tresham The driving that goes with a rural village like Tresham is the least kind kind for a DPF. Not one bit of it goes on long enough or is hot enough for the filter to complete a regeneration: the school run to Hillesley Church of England Primary School, Winterspring Lane crawling at half past eight, a few minutes to Co-op Food, the run to Cam & Dursley. Soot that should burn away collects instead. The M5 stands under 10 miles from Tresham, Bath under 25 miles off, and unless something pulls you out that way routinely, full weeks slip past without the long steady run that clears a filter. Geography does not help. ## Why limp mode prevents a DPF regeneration What limp mode means is the motor looking after itself. Power is held down, the revs will not pull, and the regeneration the filter wants can no longer complete — which is the real catch, because a proper drive works by starting that regeneration. Good advice, that motorway run — right up until the moment it is not. Once the car is in limp mode you are beyond that stage, and the filter wants a clean rather than road work. ## DPF cleaning at the vehicle in Tresham The filter does not come off. That is the bit most owners do not expect: the job is done with the DPF still bolted to the vehicle, on your drive, in a work car park, any place the motor can wait for a couple of hours. A check comes first — live data off the ECU, soot load by proportion and by actual weight, and a look over of the sensor feeds, glow plugs and associated parts, so other faults are cleared before a thing is cleaned. Soot and ash that a regeneration by itself will never move are freed second, by a solution passed through the access port on that motor, which opens out inside the filter. Sometimes a filter is loaded enough to require doing twice. What the clean has loosened is then burned off by a regeneration. Either it goes as a monitored drive out of Tresham, with you present, or it runs where the car waits and the real-time data is checked afterwards. Finally the diagnostic runs again — the change confirmed, the light cleared, anything still open written down. Both sets of figures reach you by email, so the numbers are kept. ## When a DPF clean is not the fix One thing is what cleaning fixes — a filter blocked with soot and ash. It does little for: - pressure or temperature sensors showing a blockage that is not there - an EGR valve jammed open - the AdBlue system playing up - a regeneration that hardly ever runs, because of glow plugs or injectors - a turbo passing oil through the filter The first check is there for precisely that. Turning out to be one of them means hearing it before any work begins, not after settling up for it. Lastly, two things. A vehicle with the filter hollowed out cannot pass its MOT, and driving it is an offence, so that is no fix. What gets searched for as DPF renewal exchanges nothing: your own filter is cleared in place and goes back into use. ## Prices for DPF cleaning around Tresham A call-out charge holds whatever the outcome, and takes in the visit, the booking fee, the check and the advice offered. Cleaning itself starts from £299. The price is agreed over the phone, once we are told the vehicle and what the filter is going to need. No flat rate could be straight. What you own and where you are both change it: Tresham itself, over at Lower Kilcott, or farther out in the GL postcode area. Where the scan says a clean will not do it, you are not charged for a clean. You even so pay that charge: someone turned up, did the diagnostic and offered you the advice. A 30-day warranty takes in aftercare on the job, and that includes an engineer travelling back out to Tresham if the light returns inside the time. ## Vehicles we clean, and where we get to near Tresham The filter is treated on the vehicle on all of them: cars, vans and light commercials, HGVs and lorries, construction and plant machinery, agricultural vehicles. Nothing is carried anywhere. Tresham is seldom a special trip: technicians are working Winterspring Lane nearly every week, and the same run covers Lower Kilcott, Wortley and the villages out past Hillesley. Farther out around Gloucestershire is still worth ringing about — coverage runs UK-wide, and it is the schedule rather than the distance that picks between this day and the next. ## About Tresham Tresham is a small village in Gloucestershire, situated in the South West of England, with a population of around 347 people. Tresham sits at an elevation of 185 metres, surrounded by rolling countryside and nearby villages such as Lower Kilcott and Ozleworth. Tresham is characterized by its predominantly detached housing stock, reflecting its rural setting. Tresham is located approximately 16.5 miles from the city of Bath and 93.7 miles from London. ## Common questions on DPF cleaning around Tresham Can I just take it for a long drive? If you catch it in time, and the motor is not in limp mode, sometimes. Fifteen minutes to Co-op Food and back will not be enough; motorway speed, kept for some time, will. How long does the visit last? It is typically around 2 hours. A severely clogged filter can take a second clean, which extends that. Price in Tresham — what is it? Starting from £299, with a charge for coming out that pays for the diagnostic and advice on what to do next. The vehicle and your address both change the figure, so we settle it on the phone. Do I have to be around? No. The motor wants space to stand for a couple of hours; you need not stand with it. Preferring to be there is fine: the regeneration then goes out on the road, monitored. Can someone come to Tresham soon? That depends on the diary, but it is often same-day or next-day. Ring 0303 330 1830 what is free across the GL area. The filter — does it come away from the motor? It is cleaned where it sits, on the call-out service. Nor does getting a filter off nor putting one back on is work we do. And if the light comes back? Covered by the 30-day warranty: aftercare, and an engineer heading back to Tresham. ## Put a DPF clean booked in Tresham Ring 0303 330 1830 and say what the car is doing — light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
