Think your DPF is blocked?

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

DPF warning light on Regeneration won't complete Limp mode / loss of power Repeated regen attempts Dropping fuel economy Black smoke from the exhaust Strong burning smell after a long run

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.

A new filter starts around £1,000+. A professional clean and a completed regeneration restores yours for far less — and we'll beat any genuine like-for-like quote in the North East.

Failed regeneration & limp-mode fixes across the North East

Most North East callouts are exactly this. We sort both on the same visit.

Regeneration won't complete?

A filter that's too sooted or ash-loaded can't finish the regen cycle on its own. We chemically deep-clean it and reset the system so the car can self-regenerate again.

Engine carbon cleaning

Pairs perfectly with a DPF clean — a hydrogen decarbonise restores torque, smoothness and MPG. Many North East drivers have both done in one mobile visit.

Why DPF problems are common across the North East

A diesel particulate filter blocks up when the engine never runs hot enough, for long enough, to burn off its soot — and short, stop-start driving is the main culprit. Plenty of North East cars spend their time on the Tyneside commute, the school run and city journeys that simply don't let the DPF reach its regeneration temperature.

Once it's clogged you'll get the warning light, lost power and limp mode, often followed by a hefty quote to replace the filter. We're fully mobile right across Tyneside, Wearside, County Durham and Northumberland — from Gateshead to Sunderland — so there's no garage to drop the car at. We come to you, clean the filter on your drive, complete a regeneration where needed and re-test before we leave, usually the same day.

Off-car DPF cleaning — for North East garages & trade

For filters that won't respond to an on-car clean, we remove the DPF, deep-clean it off the vehicle on our mobile rig and refit it — all at your premises. One of the very few UK specialists offering this mobile.

For Tyneside & Durham garages

Stop sending DPFs off-site and losing the bay for a week. We bring the rig to your unit, clean the filter off the vehicle while you carry on, and you keep the job and the margin in-house.

When an on-car clean isn't enough

Severely blocked filters that won't respond to an on-car clean get a proper off-car deep-clean — often saving the customer well over a thousand pounds.

Mobile, same-day

The whole remove-clean-refit happens at your premises in a single visit — not the days you'd wait sending a filter to a specialist down south.

2-stage on-vehicle DPF clean — +£50 +VAT

On engines past 120,000 miles, soot and ash sit deeper in the filter. Our 2-stage on-vehicle clean is built for exactly that — a deeper DPF clean carried out at your driveway or work, with the engine carbon clean and full diagnostics included.

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 DPF problems so common across the North East?

Mostly the driving pattern — the Tyneside commute, short urban trips, school runs and city journeys never let the engine reach the temperature the diesel particulate filter needs to regenerate. Soot builds up, the light comes on, and the car drops into limp mode.

How long does it take?

Most DPF service jobs — diagnostic, clean and re-test — are done within the hour at your address.

How much does it cost?

Diagnostic health check from £120+VAT, full Premier DPF clean from £280+VAT. Fixed before we start and we'll beat any genuine like-for-like quote.

Clean or replace — which do I need?

Clean, almost always. A professional clean restores your filter for a fraction of replacement cost — on the vast majority of North East cars we see, replacement isn't needed.

Can you fix failed or constant DPF regeneration?

Yes. Repeated or failed regen attempts almost always mean the DPF is too blocked to clear itself. We chemically clean the filter, clear the fault codes and confirm the car can self-regenerate again before we leave.

Do you cover my area?

Fully mobile across Tyneside, Wearside, County Durham and Northumberland (full list above). Send your postcode and we'll confirm a time, often same or next day.

Will it fix my warning light / limp mode?

Yes — the blocked DPF is the most common cause of both. A clean usually clears the light and restores normal performance, and we re-test before leaving.

Is chemical DPF cleaning safe?

Yes — it's a non-damaging deep clean that removes up to 98% of soot, leaving the filter intact.

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 itself. We can do both in one mobile visit and will tell you straight which (or both) your car needs.

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

Yes — one of the few in the UK doing mobile off-car DPF cleaning. Popular with North East garages who'd otherwise have to send filters off to a specialist for days.

Is there a warranty?

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