What affects the price on a Vauxhall Astra
1.6 CDTi diesel (Mk7)
The 1.6 CDTi is widely criticised for DPF blocking on cars used mainly for short urban trips, because regeneration needs a sustained run at operating temperature.
Typical cost: Forced regeneration: £80 to £150. Professional clean: £150 to £300. Replacement: £800 to £2,000.
How we work out these prices
We start from the national range for this job at UK independent garages, taken from our how much does a dpf clean cost guide, and use the band for the Vauxhall Astra's size class (family hatchback), because size, access and parts drive most of the difference between models. The Vauxhall Astra-specific figures come from our Vauxhall Astra common problems guide, which prices the faults known on this model. Your engine, gearbox, mileage and location all change the final bill, and labour rates in London and the South East are higher. These are guides, not quotes and not AutoFixFair prices: post your job to get real prices for your car.
