What is a DPF (Diesel Particular Filter)?

A DPF or Diesel Particulate Filter decreases the amount of pollution emitted by a diesel vehicle. DPF filters do this by collecting a portion of the particles which are found in the exhaust gases. These particles are stored in the filter to reduce emissions as you drive. They are burned off for good during what’s called a ‘regeneration’ cycle. This is a periodic cycle that can only take place when the exhaust reaches a certain temperature. That temperature is around 600°c.

Unfortunately, while the DPF reduces emissions, it’s also unreliable and reduces performance. The effect of regeneration is particularly pronounced when you need to put your foot down. You will find that the car feels like it’s missing 50bhp, with sluggish performance through the rev range. Even worse, you might find your car enters limp mode because the DPF filter is blocked. If this happens, you might be able to force a regeneration with software, but sometimes replacement is the only option.

Replacing your DPF filter will set you back £400-£2,000 depending on the car – and there’s no guarantee the new one won’t fail in the future too.

DPF Removal

A solution to this problem is to remove the DPF filter either physically, or with a software delete. Both methods are effective. Without its DPF, your car will run better, and it’ll deliver stronger performance when you want it to.

The procedure is completely safe. We’ll remove the DPF filter physically and install a software delete fix, or we’ll leave the DPF filter in place and install a software fix. The choice is yours. Just remember that the procedure is not an amateur job – incorrect removal will cause damage to your engine and could destroy the turbo.

Is DPF removal legal?

DPF removal is 100% legal for vehicles that will be used on private land and for track use only. If you intend to drive your vehicle on a public road, DPF removal is illegal. With regards to this, we must inform you that it is an offence under the Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3))1 to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions. Because of this, we recommend DPF removal for private and track use only.

DPF Forced Regeneration

If you are experiencing DPF issues and you can’t get the DPF removed because you’ll be using the car on a public road, we can force a regeneration cycle for you. This is legal and ideal if your vehicle is in limp mode or running rough. A forced regeneration clears a DPF filter by making it regenerate. Sometimes, DPF’s fail to regenerate themselves so need this service. Even main dealerships force regens from time to time to resolve DPF issues.If you would like to find out more about this service, contact our team.

The Benefits of our DPF Removal Services

A Preventing any future issues

If you are having issues with the DPF filter, why prolong them? DPF removal will fix the issue for good to prevent any future issues.

Increased fuel economy

When your vehicle has problems with its DPF it will burn more fuel. The regeneration cycle also causes more fuel to be burned.

Avoiding expensive repairs

Replacing a DPF typically costs around £400-£2,000. To avoid these repair costs, why don’t you get it removed? Our process is safe for all makes and models.

A loss of engine power

Once your filter becomes clogged or blocked, you will notice a large reduction in engine power. To increase the engine power, the filter needs to be unclogged. This can be done by removing the DPF or forcing a regen.

Why could you be having issues with your DPF?

We are starting to see a forever growing number of customers approaching us for our DPF removal software and service. This is mainly due to the DPF (diesel particulate filter) not being regenerated as it should be. This is because to perform a regeneration cycle, the filter and exhaust system must reach around 600°c. It takes around 40 minutes of driving below 40mph for the exhaust to get to that temperature on a cold day.

If a regeneration cycle is not performed, the DPF filter becomes blocked. If it becomes blocked, it fails. The only solution is to replace the DPF filter, although some can get away with a forced regeneration which is another service we provide.
