Common questions about DPF cleaning

How much does DPF cleaning cost?
As a typical UK guide, a forced regeneration or chemical clean on the car costs around £85 to £200, and an off-car clean with the filter removed around £250 to £500. A new DPF usually costs £1,000 or more, so cleaning is worth trying first. These are indicative ranges, not quotes.
Why does my DPF keep blocking?
A DPF burns off soot during longer, faster drives. Lots of short, slow journeys stop it regenerating, and faults such as a sticking EGR valve, a failing sensor or the wrong engine oil can make it block again. A good garage will check for the underlying cause as well as cleaning the filter.
Is it legal to remove a DPF?
No. Driving a car on UK roads with its DPF removed is illegal, and a car that had one fitted will fail its MOT if it is missing or tampered with. Cleaning or replacing the filter is the legal fix.
