Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a DPF need replacing?
DPFs trap soot from diesel exhaust and regenerate (burn off soot) during long drives. If you mainly do short journeys, the DPF can become blocked beyond cleaning, requiring replacement. Warning signs include the DPF light, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption.
Can I just remove the DPF instead of replacing it?
No — DPF removal is illegal in the UK for road vehicles and will cause an MOT failure. Removing a DPF can also void your insurance, as the car no longer meets its emissions specification.
