DPF Cleaning from £120
Off Vehicle DPF Cleaning in Lincoln from JVS
A diesel particulate filter, or DPF for short, removes the harmful particles of soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine to prevent them from being released into the atmosphere.
There are several DPF design variants, and some are so efficient that they are almost 100% effective, but problems occur when there is a blockage, and this can present itself in several ways:
Many garages still rely on chemical in-situ DPF cleaning, a process we also used to offer. While chemical flushing can help in some cases, the results are often inconsistent. Ash and soot build-up is rarely fully removed, meaning the blockage – and the warning lights – frequently return.
JVS are constantly looking to evolve and offer our customers the best service, and our new Metclean XL machine changes everything.
The Metclean XL is designed to clean DPFs properly – we remove the DPF from the vehicle and use it to restore it to as-new condition. No guesswork. No partial flushes. No repeat visits.
DPF cleaning removes built-up soot and ash from the diesel particulate filter. Over time, this build-up restricts exhaust flow, reduces engine performance, and can cause warning lights or limp mode. Professional DPF cleaning from JVS restores the filter to near-original condition and helps prevent costly repairs or replacement.
Common signs include a DPF warning light, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, frequent regeneration, or the vehicle entering limp mode. If the filter is too blocked to regenerate naturally, professional off-vehicle DPF cleaning is usually required.
JVS often completes off-vehicle DPF cleaning the same day, depending on the level of blockage and your vehicle type. Once it’s cleaned, we refit the DPF and reset it so your vehicle can return to normal operation.
In most cases, yes. DPF cleaning is significantly cheaper than replacement and can restore up to 98% of the filter’s original capacity. Replacement is usually only necessary if the DPF is physically damaged or melted.
This depends on driving style and vehicle use. Vehicles used mainly for short journeys or urban driving may need cleaning every 60,000–100,000 miles. Regular maintenance and addressing warning lights early can extend the life of the DPF.
Despite offering a far superior clean, our off-vehicle machine service is less expensive than traditional chemical DPF cleaning still offered by many garages. You get:
