DPF Cleaning – Waterlooville

The Diesel Particulate Filter captures soot from your exhaust before it reaches the atmosphere, but over time it becomes blocked, particularly on vehicles used mainly for short journeys. A blocked DPF is one of the most common causes of diesel warning lights, and left unresolved, it can lead to expensive replacement costs.

At Collison Motoring Services, we carry out DPF diagnosis, forced regeneration, and professional cleaning to restore filter function without unnecessary replacement.

Signs your DPF may be blocked:

DPF or engine warning light on the dashboard
Reduced power or limp mode
Increased fuel consumption
Excessive smoke from the exhaust
Frequent failed regeneration cycles

Can a blocked DPF be cleaned rather than replaced?

In many cases, yes. A professional clean can restore a blocked DPF to full function at a fraction of the cost of a new filter. We’ll carry out a diagnostic check first to assess the condition of the filter and determine the most appropriate course of action. If a clean will resolve it, that’s what we’ll recommend. If the filter is beyond cleaning, we’ll tell you honestly and quote for replacement.

We use TerraClean technology as part of our DPF cleaning process, and our diagnostic equipment allows us to monitor filter pressure and soot levels accurately. We see DPF jobs regularly from across Waterlooville, Cowplain, Havant, and further afield. If your DPF light is on, get in touch and we’ll give you a clear picture of what’s needed.

As a Bosch Service network member, a HEVRA-approved EV and hybrid specialist, and an IMI-affiliated garage, we’re independently verified to meet recognised standards across the board. For you, that means confidence in the quality of the work, without having to just take our word for it.
