Why do vans block their DPFs?
A DPF traps soot and burns it off in a regeneration, which needs the exhaust to run hot for a while. Van work often stops that happening. Delivery rounds mean stop-start driving, long spells idling with the engine running and short hops between drops. The filter keeps filling and the engine never gets the sustained heat to clear it.
The result is the dashboard warning, a loss of power or limp mode. Our guide to DPF warning lights and limp mode explains what the car is doing, and the page on forced regeneration covers the part of the visit where we make the filter burn off under control.
Which vans have customers had cleaned?
These are the models named in our Google reviews, in the customers' words.
Ford Transit
One customer with a mk7 Transit wrote that he "phoned this morning and out by the afternoon back on road in no time". Another review mentions a Transit Custom for a DPF and engine clean, calling the engineer "such a friendly engineer".
Renault Master
A Renault Master camper came to us with a 'check injection' warning. The review says we diagnosed "a duff DPF sensor", replaced it after sourcing one locally, then completed a DPF clean. A blocked filter is not always the whole story, and we check the sensors before we blame the filter.
VW Caddy and VW T6
A Caddy owner called the work "good job". A T6 camper owner had a fuel sender fault that led to a blocked filter, and reported "60grams of soot" before the clean.
These are the models reviewers have named. We clean other makes too, so give us the registration when you ring and we will tell you what we can do.

How long will the van be off the road?
The clean itself usually takes about an hour. We scan the van and read live data first, chemically clean the filter on the van, force a regeneration with our diagnostic kit, clear the fault codes and take post-clean readings. One reviewer wrote that they phoned in the morning and had a technician out by lunchtime, with the job done within the hour.
Same-day or next-day is common in and around Glasgow. Elsewhere, we can often have an engineer with you the same day too. See can you drive with the DPF light on if the warning is already showing.
Can you work at a yard or depot?
Yes, the visit is mobile and we come to wherever the van is parked. Tell us where the van is kept and how we get to it when you ring, and we will confirm the visit.
If you manage several vans, tell us how many and we will work out a plan on the phone. Garages and other businesses that send us work can use our trade DPF cleaning service.
What does a van DPF clean cost?
A Premier DPF clean is from £280 + VAT (£336 inc VAT). It includes diagnostics, the chemical DPF clean and an engine carbon clean, with a 3-month re-blocking warranty subject to driving conditions and following our advice. A diagnostic health check alone is from £120 + VAT. These are from prices. We agree the fixed price by phone from the registration before booking and we will beat any genuine like-for-like quote.
The DPF cleaning cost page shows every service, and interest-free finance is an option. Our coverage page lists the areas we work in.

Common questions
Can you clean a van DPF at a depot or yard?
Yes. The visit is mobile, so we work wherever the van is parked, whether that is a yard, a depot, a workplace or a driveway. We need access to the van and room to work beside it. Tell us the location when you ring and we will confirm a date.
How long is the van off the road?
The visit usually takes about an hour. Reviewers describe phoning in the morning and having an engineer out by lunchtime or the afternoon. Same-day or next-day is common around Glasgow. Elsewhere, ring and we'll give you a time, often the same day.
Do you do several vans in one visit?
Tell us how many vans and where they are when you ring, and we will say what we can arrange. Each van needs its own scan, clean and regeneration, so allow roughly an hour per van.
Do you clean motorhome and camper DPFs?
Yes, we have cleaned a T6 camper and a Renault Master camper according to Google reviews. For other motorhomes, give us the make, model and registration when you ring and we will confirm we can do it before you book.
