DPF Cleaning In Suffolk

What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a filter that captures and stores the soot from your exhaust to reduce the emissions from diesel cars. They only have a finite capacity so this trapped soot has to be emptied or cleaned to allow the DPF to work correctly.

This regeneration process cleanly burns off the excess soot deposited in the filter, reducing the harmful exhaust emission and helps to prevent the tell-tale black smoke you used to see from diesel vehicles, particularly when accelerating.

Euro 5 exhaust emissions legislation introduced in 2009 to help lower car CO2 emissions effectively made DPFs mandatory, and since then, around one in two new cars a year have been diesel-powered.
