DPF Cleaning Northampton

DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter, specifically designed for diesel engines. DPF filters and burns off the harmful pollutants the engine produces while burning fuel to run the vehicle. It prevents harmful soot from escaping into the air.

During the process, some residue remains in it, which accumulates over time and, after a specific limit, starts damaging your vehicle's exhaust components. So, it becomes necessary to get the DPF regularly cleaned. Ignoring the clogged DPF may also result in failing the MOT test.

To improve your vehicle's longevity and performance, we recommend DPF cleaning Northampton annually or every 75,000 miles, whichever comes first.

How does a DPF function?

DPF filters and collects the exhaust soot and burns it when the engine provides enough temperature. After reaching a high enough temperature, it burns the soot and converts it into ash. This whole process is known as regeneration, and DPF carries it out using two methods:

Passive regeneration happens when the engine reaches a temperature of 300 to 350 °C. To achieve this temperature, one has to drive the vehicle for a long distance or at a high speed. Once the engine reaches the required temperature, the DPF burns off the soot.

Active regeneration: If the engine is unable to obtain the required temperature above 600 °C, in that case, your car's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) initiates active regeneration. During this regeneration, fuel and air are injected into the DPF to raise the temperature.

When active and passive regeneration fail to remove the soot, you need our help for DPF cleaning Northampton.

Signs that the DPF needs cleaning

Here are some of the indications by which you can assume whether you need to get the DPF cleaned:

• Thin black smoke is coming out through the exhaust pipe.
• Loud noise from the engine.
• Your vehicle has started consuming more fuel than usual.
• Excessive noise from fans.
