At Shurlock Row Garage, diesel particulate filter (DPF) inspections are carried out with a focus on restoring performance and preventing costly replacements.

Our Repair Process

Our technicians begin with a full diagnostic check, using specialist tools to assess soot levels, fault codes, and overall exhaust system performance. This allows us to determine whether the DPF is partially blocked, heavily clogged, or affected by an underlying engine issue.

Where possible, we carry out a controlled regeneration process to safely burn off excess soot and restore normal airflow through the filter. If the blockage is more severe, we perform a deeper clean using professional-grade equipment designed to flush out ash and carbon deposits without damaging the unit. Throughout the process, we also check related components such as sensors, injectors, and the EGR system to ensure the problem doesn’t return.

Common DPF Problems We Fix

Common issues we resolve include:

• Loss of power
• Poor fuel economy
• Warning lights
• Vehicles entering limp mode

These issues are all often linked to a restricted DPF. Once restored, we test the system thoroughly to confirm proper operation and improved exhaust flow.

Whether your vehicle needs a simple regeneration or a more intensive clean, Shurlock Row Garage provides an effective, reliable DPF service - keeping your diesel running efficiently and within emissions standards.
