Think your DPF is blocked?

If you've noticed any of these, a clean usually sorts it.

DPF warning light won't clear Limp mode / power loss Drop in MPG Failed or interrupted regenerations Black smoke from exhaust Rough idle or hesitation Heavy diesel smell at idle

Blocked DPF

Soot has built up in the diesel particulate filter faster than the engine can burn it off. A professional mobile chemical clean clears the blockage on your driveway in one visit.

DPF warning light on

The particulate filter warning means the filter needs intervention — including the "DPF Full" message common on VW, Audi and Skoda dashboards. We clear the fault codes after cleaning so the light goes out and stays out.

Stuck in limp mode

When the filter is heavily blocked the ECU restricts power to protect the engine. A clean and code reset usually restores full performance the same visit.

Failed DPF regeneration

If your car keeps trying to regenerate or won't complete a regen cycle, the filter is too clogged for the engine to clear naturally. A professional chemical clean restores the filter so passive regeneration works as designed again.

Quoted a four-figure replacement? A professional clean restores your filter for a fraction of the cost of a new DPF — and we'll beat any genuine like-for-like quote in Edinburgh.

Carbon cleaning, regeneration & limp-mode fixes in Edinburgh

Get power, smoothness and economy back without a garage bill.

Stuck in limp mode?

A blocked filter is by far the most common cause across our Edinburgh callouts. We diagnose at your address, deep-clean the DPF and clear the fault codes — usually before you've finished a cup of tea.

Hydrogen engine carbon clean

Carbon build-up in the inlet and combustion chambers chokes performance and MPG. A hydrogen carbon clean removes it — pairs neatly with a DPF clean and you'll feel the difference.

Clean before you replace

If a clean won't save your filter we'll tell you straight — but it almost always will, for a fraction of replacement cost.

Why blocked DPFs are so common in Edinburgh

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogs when the engine can't get hot enough to burn off its trapped soot — and short city journeys are the classic cause. A lot of Edinburgh diesels spend their lives crawling through the Old Town and city centre, doing the school run across the suburbs, or on stop-start commutes that never reach the steady motorway speed a filter needs to regenerate properly.

The result is the dashboard light, a drop into limp mode, and often a quote for a new filter you probably don't need. We're fully mobile across Edinburgh and the Lothians, so we come to your home or work from Leith to Livingston, deep-clean the DPF on-site and reset the system — usually same or next day.

Off-car DPF cleaning — mobile, for Edinburgh garages & trade

For badly blocked or ash-loaded filters, we'll remove the DPF, deep-clean it off the vehicle on our mobile rig and refit it — all at your premises. One of the few UK firms offering this on-site.

For Edinburgh trade & garages

No more boxing filters off to a specialist and losing the car for days. We come to your workshop across Edinburgh and the Lothians, clean the DPF off the vehicle while you keep working, and the job stays in-house.

When on-car cleaning falls short

Ash-loaded or heavily sooted filters that don't fully respond to an on-car clean can be properly off-car cleaned — often saving the customer the cost of a new filter.

Same-day, at your unit

Whole process — remove, deep-clean, refit — done at your premises in a single visit. Not days waiting for a cleaning facility to post it back.

We'll tell you from your reg whether your vehicle needs it. Like every price we quote: agreed up front, before anything is booked.

Common questions

Why are blocked DPFs so common in Edinburgh?

Short, slow city journeys are the usual cause — crawling through the Old Town and city centre, school runs and stop-start commutes never let the diesel particulate filter get hot enough to regenerate. A mobile clean clears the soot and restores normal running.

How long does a DPF clean take in Edinburgh?

Most DPF service jobs are completed within the hour at your home or workplace, including diagnostic, deep-clean, regen and a short road-test.

How much does it cost?

Diagnostic health check from £120+VAT, full Premier DPF clean from £280+VAT — usually saving over a thousand pounds vs a new filter. Price agreed before we start.

Clean or replace — which do I need?

Almost always clean. A professional chemical clean restores the filter for a fraction of the cost of a new DPF — and unless the substrate is physically damaged, replacement is overkill on most Edinburgh callouts.

Can you fix failed or constant DPF regeneration?

Yes. If your Edinburgh diesel keeps starting and aborting regens, or throws a regeneration fault, the DPF is usually too blocked to clear itself. We chemically deep-clean on-site, clear the fault codes and re-test.

Do you cover my area?

Fully mobile across Edinburgh, West Lothian, Midlothian, East Lothian and the Falkirk/Fife edge (full list above). Send a postcode — often same or next day.

Will it fix my warning light / limp mode?

A blocked DPF is the most common cause of the warning light and limp mode. A clean usually clears both — we reset the system and re-test before we go.

Is chemical DPF cleaning safe?

Yes. It's non-damaging and works inside the existing substrate — removing up to 98% of soot without dismantling the system.

What's the difference between a DPF clean and an engine carbon clean?

A DPF clean clears the filter; a hydrogen carbon clean decarbonises the engine. Many Edinburgh drivers have both done in one visit — we'll advise what yours actually needs.

Do you offer off-car DPF cleaning or DPF removal?

Yes — one of the few UK specialists doing this mobile. We can remove, deep-clean and refit on-site at your home, garage or workshop, usually same day.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Ask about the warranty on your DPF clean when we confirm your quote.
