What is the DPF and why does it need to be cleaned?

 The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a filter within the engine’s exhaust system that reduces the emission from diesel vehicles. The emission control device captures exhaust soot and stores it inside the filter, preventing harmful carbon particles from entering the atmosphere. 

The DPF within a vehicle requires ongoing carbon cleaning services to prevent the filter from becoming full. Otherwise, the DPF can hinder the performance of your diesel vehicle and has the potential to cause significant damage to your engine.

A diesel vehicle will alert the driver that it requires a DPF cleaning service in a number of ways, including a:

• Dashboard warning light.
• Loss of horsepower.
• Reduced fuel economy. 

It is vital that these warning signs are not overlooked, as a full filter will damage your DPF which will result in requiring an expensive particulate filter replacement.

Here at  Central West DPF Clean, we perform diesel particulate filter cleaning services using the latest in cleaning technology.

DPF cleaning services increase the vehicle’s fuel economy and performance, saving drivers on petrol and future car services. Keeping your DPF clean will help reduce the cost of running a diesel vehicle and increase the resale value.

DPFs that are cleaned regularly are less likely to become damaged and need a particulate filter replacement. Currently, the diesel particulate filter cleaning cost is 10% of the price of replacing the DPF, leading to significant savings for diesel vehicle owners. 

The DPF was specifically designed to prevent diesel vehicles from producing large clouds of black smoke and reduce carbon emissions. Systematic DPF cleaning services ensure that the DPF works at optimal efficiency year-round, reducing the negative environmental impact caused by exhaust emissions. 

When completed by our experienced and professional team, DPF cleaning is a quick and safe process that improves the longevity of your vehicle and saves you on costs down the track. 

DPF cleaning services will help maintain the longevity of your diesel vehicle, reduce carbon emissions and save on future replacement costs.
