Recent DPF Cleaning Job Completed for a VW Sharan in South West London (SW11 5DJ)
The GMM1 team recently carried out a DPF cleaning service for a VW Sharan in SW11 5DJ. The vehicle had covered 216,355 miles and was showing elevated DPF pressure readings. Using our specialist cleaning equipment, we performed a thorough two-stage DPF clean to improve exhaust flow and support more efficient engine performance.
DPF cleaning in progress with soot and residue being expelled from the exhaust system during the cleaning process, demonstrating contaminants being removed from the diesel particulate filter.
A larger amount of carbon and ash residue is visible on the road surface as the DPF cleaning process continues, highlighting the effectiveness of the cleaning procedure.
Post-cleaning DPF pressure test showing a reading of 69.4 mbar, indicating improved exhaust flow and reduced restriction within the diesel particulate filter.
DPF pressure measurement taken before the cleaning process, recording 79.6 mbar and helping technicians assess filter condition and performance.
The VW Sharan had accumulated a high mileage of 216,355 miles and was experiencing increased DPF back pressure, with an initial reading of 107 mbar. Excessive pressure within the diesel particulate filter can restrict exhaust flow, reduce engine efficiency, and lead to potential DPF-related issues if left untreated.
Solution:
Our technicians carried out a comprehensive DPF cleaning procedure, performing the cleaning process twice to achieve the best possible results. Following the service, the DPF pressure reading was reduced from 107 mbar to 69 mbar, indicating improved exhaust gas flow through the filter. The vehicle left with a cleaner DPF system and improved operating conditions for continued reliable performance.
