DPF Cleaning Completed in Chandler's Ford – Vauxhall Astra Van
Initial pressure readings showed a DPF back pressure of 76.2 mbar, indicating a significant blockage. After completing the cleaning process, the pressure was reduced to 16.6 mbar, confirming that the DPF had been successfully cleaned. The vehicle mileage at the time of service was 134,796 miles.
The DPF pressure sensor has been removed to carry out diagnostic testing before completing the professional DPF cleaning process.
Initial diagnostics revealed a high DPF back pressure of 76.2 mbar, confirming the diesel particulate filter was heavily restricted.
Following the on-site DPF cleaning, exhaust back pressure dropped to 16.6 mbar, demonstrating a successful restoration of DPF performance.

Area:
Chandler's Ford
Challenge:
The diesel particulate filter had become heavily restricted, resulting in excessive exhaust back pressure that could negatively affect engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions if left unresolved.
Solution:
Our technicians carried out a professional on-site DPF cleaning service, removing the blockage and restoring normal exhaust flow. The significant reduction in DPF back pressure demonstrated the success of the clean, allowing the vehicle to continue operating efficiently without requiring a replacement DPF.
