Model:
Caddy
Area:
Southampton – SO15 3FL
Challenge:
With the vehicle at 216,000 miles, the DPF was showing considerable restriction. The 51 mbar pressure reading confirmed that the filter needed cleaning to reduce exhaust back pressure and support more efficient engine operation.
Solution:
GMM1 carried out a thorough on-site DPF cleaning procedure to remove accumulated deposits from the filter. Following the service, the pressure reading dropped from 51 mbar to 16 mbar, showing a substantial improvement in DPF flow and reduced exhaust restriction. Final diagnostic checks were completed to confirm the improved reading before the job was concluded.
