A technician arrives at your address across Wike, clears the diesel particulate filter while it is fitted to the motor, runs a DPF regeneration, and you end up with the filter you started with. Allow for the visit lasting typically around 2 hours. The clean begins from £299, agreed on the phone before anyone sets off. If the light is already on and the car is low on power, this page is for you. That is how most drivers end up here. ## Your DPF light is lit — what then? Not the filter, always. First thing to note. A clean is not where a visit starts. A diagnostic is — a number of faults register as the same light. How the motor is driven in the meantime makes a difference too. - Amber light, car still driving as normal — a long even run can even now sort it on its own. Costs zero, and worth trying before you call anything. - A drive will not touch it now — limp mode means that window has now closed. - Diesel smell in the cabin, or black smoke under the throttle — stop planning long drives and get it seen to. ## The vehicle has been showing you already Symptoms have normally been building for some time before the light so much as arrives. Late news, in other words: - going uphill, the power falls off - you find the revs never reach where they once went - fuel use that is worse than before - silently, the stop/start gives up - a diesel smell in the interior, or smoke under hard acceleration That is not proof by itself. Next to the light beside them, the filter is a fair guess. ## Why diesel particulate filters clog around Wike Being a village, Wike throws up exactly the driving a DPF handles the poorest. The school run to Shadwell Primary School, School Lane at a halt at half past eight, ten minutes to The Co-operative Food, the run to Cross Gates — none of it runs long enough or runs hot enough for the filter to see through a regeneration. The soot banks up rather than burning away. Unless you have a standing reason to head out to the A1(M), under 5 miles from Wike, or across to Leeds under 10 miles away, entire weeks slip past without a long unbroken stint. Geography is unhelpful. ## The point a DPF regeneration can no longer run Limp mode is the vehicle protecting itself. A sustained drive works by setting off a regeneration, and that is just what limp mode prevents: power capped, revs pinned, no regeneration on offer. So the usual advice to get it up the motorway is sound advice, right until it stops being. Once the motor is in limp mode you are the far side of that stage, and the filter wants a clean rather than road work. ## The motor stays put for on-site DPF cleaning round Wike Nothing leaves the vehicle. That surprises people. The DPF stays fixed where it is and the work is done around it, on a forecourt, in a works car park, wherever it can wait for two hours or so. First a scan. Running ECU data, the soot load as a proportion and as a weight, the sensor feeds, the glow plugs, the related components — all of it taken before anything is started. Next comes the clean itself: a cleaning solution in through the vehicle's own entry point, spreading inside the filter and loosening what a regeneration cannot. Where the filter is severely loaded, expect a second pass. What the clean has lifted is then driven off by a regeneration. Ride along with the motor and it is done as a monitored drive out of Wike. Park it and the regeneration goes on the spot, with live data checked once it is done. Finally the scan runs again — the change proven, the light cleared, anything still showing written down. Both sets of figures arrive with you by email, so the numbers are kept. ## What a DPF clean will not cure One thing is what treatment answers — a filter blocked with soot and ash. It does nothing for: - the wrong signal from a pressure or temperature sensor - a jammed EGR valve - a problem in the AdBlue system - glow plugs or injectors blocking the regeneration completing in the first place - the turbo putting oil into the filter That is what the first scan is for. Turning out to be one of them means learning it before the work gets going, not after handing over anything. Lastly, two things. A vehicle with the filter hollowed out cannot pass its MOT, and driving it is against the law, so that is no fix. What gets typed in as DPF renewal exchanges nothing: your own filter is cleared in place and goes back into use. ## The figure for DPF cleaning around Wike A call-out charge holds whatever the outcome, and covers the visit, the booking fee, the scan and the advice offered. The clean itself begins from £299. Once we know what you drive, and about what the filter will take, the figure gets agreed over phone. A single price for every job would not be straight. What you run and where you are both shift it: Wike itself, over at Scarcroft, or otherwise out across the LS postcode area. Where the scan says cleaning will not work, you are not asked to pay for treatment. What still holds is the call-out charge, since the visit was made, the scan was done and the advice was offered. A 30-day warranty takes in aftercare on the clean, and that includes an engineer travelling back out to Wike if the light comes back inside the time. ## What we clean, and how far we travel near Wike The one mobile service takes in cars and estates, vans and light commercials, HGVs and lorries, plant and construction machinery and farm vehicles, and on every one the filter is treated on the vehicle rather than taken anywhere. Technicians are along School Lane week in week out, so Wike is seldom a journey of its own, and the same run picks up Scarcroft, Alwoodley Gates and the places out past Shadwell. Coverage is UK-wide, so even further out around West Yorkshire is even so worth a phone call, and what picks between today and tomorrow is the schedule rather than the distance. ## About Wike Wike is a small village in West Yorkshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of around 125 metres, with detached housing being the predominant type of accommodation. Wike lies close to the city of Leeds, approximately 5.6 miles away, and is near other local places such as Bracken Park and Slaid Hill. Wike has a population of around 307 people and is located near Shadwell. Wike is positioned in a scenic area, with the River Aire nearby. ## Things Wike drivers ask about DPF cleaning Does a long run clear it? If you spot it in time, and the vehicle is not in limp mode, sometimes. That calls for motorway speed for a steady spell, rather than a brief trip to The Co-operative Food. How long does the visit last? Allow typically around 2 hours — badly clogged filters sometimes need a second pass, which extends it. How much does it run to around Wike? The call-out charge covers the visit, the diagnostic and the advice; cleaning itself starts from £299. The vehicle and your address both change the price, so we quote on the phone. Must I be around in person? No. The car needs space to stand for a couple of hours; nobody expects you to stand with it. The regeneration can be done as a monitored drive if you would prefer to be there. Can someone get to Wike soon? You are in for often same-day or next-day, though it depends what is currently in the diary. Call 0303 330 1830 and we will say to you what is open across the LS area. Is the filter taken off the car? It is treated where it sits, on the on-site service. And neither does lifting a filter off nor bolting one back on is work we do. What if the light comes back? Taken in by the 30-day warranty: aftercare, and an engineer travelling back to Wike. ## Organise DPF cleaning across Wike Ring 0303 330 1830 and tell us what the car is doing — light, limp mode, smoke, whatever it is.
