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.

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.


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
– Failing turbo
– Too many short journeys where the regeneration process hasn’t had time to activate
