DPF

A DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is one of the lesser-known components in a car. However, although not many people actually know what it is, it’s an extremely important component of your vehicle that needs to be maintained. Otherwise, you’ll face large fines.

Your DPF’s job is to trap soot and store it. They were imposed by Euro regulations to pass tight emission control tests. And, although they’re designed to burn off that soot, they do get blocked.

If you’re found to be driving with a faulty Diesel Particulate Filter, you could face 4-figure fines.

    Was recommended Garej Bowydd on a LR specialise FB page. I initially took for an MOT and investigation of an oil leak. Fantastic, friendly service, great advice following investigation and had no hesitation about booking it in for the works required. Final bill came through less than quotation, so that brought a smile to my face! Would highly recommend. There is a small wait to get... Read More

    For once I have found a garage that actually cares! I have given up on so many garages that promise the earth - then charge you for it!
    This garage is different. They actually deliver on their promises AND at a good price. Truly excellent professional service and although they are far away from Anglesey I would travel twice the distance to have them look after my Range Rover. Don't... Read More

    Took the VW Tiguan in because all the dash board warning lights were coming on, we took the car to other garages but they couldn’t fix it, so finally went to Bowydd garage which is about 25 miles away from home, but boy was it worth it. Not only did they find the problem and fix it, they supplied us with a car while it was being done. No fuss, no dramas. Everything was explained to us in... Read More

    They managed to fit me in a short notice for brake pad / disk replacement on my Octavia Vrs which threw a warning light whilst on holiday. The work was completed by knowledgeable technician (who owned a similar car) to a high standard and reasonable price whilst we went for a walk in the local area. Recommended

    This is the first time I have used their services, and it won't be the last.
    I have had my Range Rover Sport serviced at a main dealer for the last 5 years until I heard about Garej Bowydd. I had a problem with the air suspension which Callum and Lee sorted. At the same time I asked them to replace the rear disks and pads which Range Rover had only done 10K ago.
    They were seized,... Read More

DPF Warning Light Bowydd Garage

Why is my DPF light on?

If your DPF light is on, there’s a problem. Whether it’s a blockage or something else, you need to get your DPF checked as a matter of urgency.

If you don’t, your DPF light will start to flash and that usually means very expensive repair bills. So, we highly recommend that the moment your DPF light comes on, you get in touch with us. It’ll save you a lot of time, money and stress in the long run.

Why is my DPF blocked?

There are many reasons why your Diesel Particulate Filter could be blocked. However, the most common reasons are:

– A faulty DPF light didn’t alert you to a problem
– Incorrect oil
