Vauxhall Opel DPF Cleaning in Bristol
At Auto Regen we've been repairing Vauxhall Opel vehicles for many years and understand the development of their engine emissions systems very well. Problems can arise on any Vauxhall model fitted with a DPF but the blockage will most likely only be soot related and something that we can address quickly and cost effectively with our diagnostic tools and experience.
​
Vauxhall offer a large range of cars and vans. The diesel models fitted with diesel particulate filters are:
​
Vauxhall Cars: Agila, Antara, Astra, Cascada, Combo, Corsa, Crossland, Frontera, Grandland, Insignia, Meriva, Mokka, Signum, Tigra, Vectra & Zafira.
​
Vauxhall Vans: Movano & Vivaro.
If your DPF is blocked, your vehicle will most likely be showing some of the below indications:
​
- Message saying: Particulate Filter Is Full - See Owner's Manual Now!
- Message saying: Diesel Partic. Filter Is Full - Continued Driving Mandatory
​
If you aren't able to clean the filter by driving then you will then get further messages, a check engine light and the engine will enter Limp Mode to reduce power to protect itself against back-pressure from the filter.
​
- Dashboard Check Engine/MIL Light On
- Dashboard DPF Light On
​
- Engine in Limp Mode with Reduced Power
When you see these signs it means your vehicle is not able to perform its usual automatic DPF self-clean routine due to a minor engine fault or too many short trips. Either of these will prevent the self-clean taking place. Despite what many Vauxhall garages will tell you, this does not normally mean your DPF needs replacing. So please save your money and ignore any sign instructing you to take your car to a dealer where they will only offer you the most expensive option of replacing your DPF. In many cases they will not correctly identify the original cause of the blockage so it will come back again in a few miles. With our 35 years' experience, professional diagnostic tools and personalised service we can come to you, quickly find and fix faults, unblock your DPF on the vehicle and get you back on the road quickly in a healthy state where your vehicle's computer can resume its normal self-clean routine.
