Ford Custom DPF Cleaning Service Completed in Horsham, West Sussex (RH12 1UQ)
Initial checks showed that the DPF pressure reading was 55 mbar before cleaning, indicating a significant build-up within the filter. The vehicle had covered 79,100 miles, which can contribute to soot accumulation over time and reduced DPF efficiency.
Initial DPF diagnostic test on a Ford Custom showing a higher pressure reading of 55 mbar before the cleaning service.
Diagnostic pressure reading taken after DPF cleaning on a Ford Custom, showing reduced back pressure at approximately 12 mbar.
Service:
DPF Cleaning
Date:

Make:
FORD
Model:
Custom
Area:
Horsham, West Sussex
Challenge:
The main issue was a heavily restricted diesel particulate filter, reflected by the high pre-cleaning pressure reading. If left unresolved, this could have led to poor engine performance, warning lights, and increased strain on the exhaust system.
Solution:
Our technicians carried out a thorough DPF cleaning service, successfully reducing the pressure reading from 55 mbar to 13 mbar. This improvement shows that the blockage was effectively cleared, helping the Ford Custom run more efficiently and supporting smoother day-to-day driving.
