Find the Right Turbocharger
Professional DPF Cleaning in Ireland
Off-vehicle DPF cleaning with before-and-after flow reports for cars, vans, trucks and commercial vehicles.
What is DPF cleaning?
A DPF traps soot and ash from diesel exhaust gases. Over time, the filter can become restricted, causing poor performance, warning lights, failed regeneration, limp mode and excessive exhaust backpressure.
Professional DPF cleaning helps restore flow through the filter where the internal core is still physically intact.

Signs your DPF may need cleaning
- DPF warning light on dashboard

Our cleaning process
- Pre-cleaning flow test
We test the DPF restriction before cleaning.
- Machine cleaning
The DPF is cleaned using controlled water, air pulses and cleaning solution.
- Reverse-flow cleaning
Contamination is pushed out from the filter structure to improve cleaning effectiveness.
- Drying and final test
The DPF is dried and retested.
- Before and after report
A report is provided showing the improvement in flow/pressure.
A DPF may not be recoverable if the internal ceramic core is melted, cracked, broken, heavily oil-soaked or physically damaged. In these cases, replacement may be required.
DPF Cleaning FAQ
- Can every DPF be cleaned?
No. If the internal ceramic core is melted, cracked, broken or heavily contaminated with oil or coolant, replacement may be required.
- Will DPF cleaning fix my warning light?
DPF cleaning can restore filter flow, but the original vehicle fault must also be diagnosed and repaired. Common causes include injector faults, EGR problems, sensor faults, oil burning, turbo issues, thermostat faults or failed regeneration.
- Do you provide a before-and-after report?
Yes. Where applicable, we provide before-and-after flow or pressure test results to show the improvement after cleaning.
- Can a blocked DPF damage a turbo?
Yes. Excessive exhaust backpressure from a blocked DPF can affect turbocharger operation and may contribute to turbocharger failure.
- Do I need to remove the DPF before bringing it to you?
Yes. This is an off-vehicle DPF cleaning service. The DPF must be removed from the vehicle before cleaning.
Important note — cleaning does not fix the root cause
DPF cleaning restores the filter flow, but it does not repair the reason why the DPF blocked in the first place. The vehicle may still need diagnosis for injector issues, EGR faults, turbo problems, oil burning, sensor faults, glow plug issues, thermostat faults or failed regeneration.
