Diesel vehicles produce a lot of soot which is then discarded into the air. Due to this, Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) need to be cleaned and maintained periodically to ensure this doesn’t happen. By staying on top of this, you can avoid costly repairs and replacements.
DPF’s capture and store exhaust soot in order to reduce emissions from diesel cars. Once the DPF has reached its maximum capacity, it needs to be emptied. This is done by burning off the soot that is deposited in the filter, by reaching temperatures of 600°c.
If the DPF is removed from the vehicle, the owner could face a fine and risk invalidating the car insurance policy, as well as failing an MOT test (this was made a part of the test from 2014).



Any faults with the DPF will be made known by an orange light appearing on the dashboard (refer to your vehicle handbook for a more specific image) Another tell-tale sign for a blocked DPF is black smoke coming from the exhaust, particularly when accelerating.

These guys are top drawer. Glad I chose them to service my vehicle. Exceptional workmanship and very professional. Transformed my car and the way it runs. Would highly recommend and they totally deserve 5 stars.
UK Truck & Plant Group gave me the best service I have ever had, and it will now be the only garage I ever go to. The customer service is incredible and around the clock. I had never owned a car before, and they educated me, advised me and made it feel like we were doing it together.
UK Truck & Plant Group are nothing short of being the best garage ever!!!!! It will be the only garage we use going forward!!!! We rang late at night in deperation our clutch had gone on our converted VW crafter 24 hours before going on a family holiday to Cornwall.
