Commuting into Edinburgh with a DPF warning
A lot of East Lothian diesels do the same run: out of Musselburgh, Tranent or Prestonpans, into Edinburgh for work, and back. That mix of stop-start city traffic and a short A-road leg is where filters often struggle, because the exhaust rarely stays hot long enough to burn soot off by itself. When the warning light comes on, the car usually still drives, but the filter is filling.
If that is you, we can clean the filter where the car is parked. That could be your driveway in EH21, or the car park at your work. The engineer scans the car, cleans the filter on the vehicle, runs a forced regeneration and shows you the readings afterwards.
Does the Edinburgh LEZ apply to you?
Edinburgh's low emission zone is in the city centre and runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Musselburgh is outside it. The zone sets emission standards for vehicles that enter: diesel cars and vans need to meet Euro 6, petrol Euro 4.
Two points matter for your decision. First, a DPF clean doesn't change the Euro standard your car was built to, so it won't turn a non-compliant diesel into a compliant one. Second, a blocked filter and the LEZ are separate problems. You can check any registration on the official vehicle checker linked from mygov.scot. Our low emission zones guide has more.

Towns we cover in East Lothian
Our core East Lothian area is Musselburgh (EH21), Tranent (EH33), Prestonpans (EH32) and Haddington (EH41). For Wallyford, Dunbar and North Berwick, ring with your postcode and we'll tell you when we can be there.
We don't promise a day from this page. Ring us, give us the registration and we can often have an engineer with you the same day. If you work in Edinburgh, we can clean the car at your workplace instead; our Edinburgh DPF cleaning page covers the city side.
When cleaning isn't the answer
A clean won't rescue a filter with a cracked or melted core, or one soaked in oil from an engine fault. The scan and live data show us whether the filter is the cause before we start. If it isn't, we tell you what we found and you decide what to do.

Questions about Musselburgh & East Lothian
Does the Edinburgh LEZ apply in Musselburgh?
No. Edinburgh's low emission zone is in the city centre, and Musselburgh sits outside it. The zone applies to any vehicle that drives into it, so the rules matter if you commute in. Diesel cars and vans need to meet Euro 6. A DPF clean doesn't change your Euro standard, so check your registration on the official vehicle checker.
Do you cover Dunbar and North Berwick?
Possibly. They are at the edge of the area we cover in East Lothian, so ask first. Ring with your postcode and registration and we'll give you a time, often the same day, and agree the fixed price for the job before you book.
Can you clean the DPF at my work in Edinburgh instead?
Yes, if your workplace lets us work in the car park. The vehicle needs to be accessible and left with us for about an hour. Check with your site contact, then ring us with the reg and the address, and we'll give you a date and a fixed price.
