V-Tech Auto offers trusted DPF regeneration Reading services. Unlike petrol engines, diesel engines are more fuel-efficient but produce a lot of particulate matter. Hence, all diesel engine cars and commercial vehicles manufactured post-2009 come installed with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
A DPF is prone to damages like any other car component. If you need DPF regeneration Reading, look no further than V-Tech Auto. We are one of the trusted garages in Berkshire County, offering an exhaustive range of services and maintaining a comprehensive collection of OE-grade parts for aftermarket replacement.
Diesel engines contribute more to environmental pollution than petrol engines. The latest EU and BS emission norms aim to make diesel emissions cleaner by almost 80%.
DPFs are crucial in this effort, removing up to 95% of particulate matter from tailpipe emissions. They also help remove unburnt hydrocarbons from the car cabin, reducing the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
Since February 2014, DPF checks have been an essential part of annual MOT tests. Driving with a blocked DPF or without a DPF filter will cause your vehicle to fail the MOT.
DPF regeneration refers to the process of cleaning the filter by burning off (oxidising) accumulated soot and unburnt hydrocarbons.
Like any other filter, DPFs have a maximum capacity. Exceeding this capacity blocks the filter, often causing black smoke from the tailpipe.
Modern car manufacturers program the ECU to push reserve fuel into the filter, raising its internal temperature to remove soot. Alternatively, exhaust temperatures can be redirected for the same effect. This process is called Active DPF regeneration Reading.
You can also try cleaning the filter manually by running the engine at around 40 MPH for over 20 minutes, which heats the filter to about 600°C.
However, manual regeneration on urban roads can be risky, and ECU cleaning may not always suffice, especially if exhaust temperatures do not reach high values. In such cases, a professional service centre like V-Tech Auto is essential. Our technicians inspect the filter for faults, and if particulate matter accumulation reaches 90%, we can offer OE-grade replacements at competitive prices.
