Commuting roads and village runs

County Durham has two kinds of driving that behave differently. A regular run on the A1(M) or A690 keeps the exhaust hot enough for the filter to burn off soot by itself. A short hop between villages, repeated daily, does the opposite. The filter doesn't get hot enough for long enough, soot builds, and the warning light follows.

That is the mechanism, and it applies to any diesel. If your driving is mostly short runs and the light has come on, a clean followed by one longer drive each week can help. Read how a forced regeneration works.

Vans at home

A van does not need to be at a depot. One customer in Durham had theirs cleaned on their own driveway, and the work takes about an hour. Our van DPF cleaning page covers fleet and trade vehicles, and prices are on the cost page. Interest-free finance is available on larger jobs.

Health check or Premier clean

Start with the diagnostic health check at £120 + VAT (£144 inc VAT) if you only want to know what the car is reporting. The Premier DPF clean at £280 + VAT (£336 inc VAT) bundles diagnostics, the filter clean and an engine carbon clean, and comes with a 3-month re-blocking warranty subject to driving conditions and following our advice. Ring with the registration and you'll be given the fixed price before anything is booked.

When we say no

If the scan shows a cracked filter, or a fault elsewhere keeps triggering the light, we say so. We don't remove DPFs. That is illegal for road use and an MOT fail. For the nearby towns, see Sunderland, Gateshead and Newcastle.
