Forced (active) DPF regeneration
If your DPF is partially blocked and the vehicle cannot complete a self-regen, we run a forced active regeneration at our workshop. This is a diagnostic-controlled high-temperature burn that clears soot without removing the filter.
When it works
- Soot loading below ~60%
- No ash overload (forced regen does not remove ash)
- No mechanical damage to filter
When it does not
- Heavy ash loading: needs workshop clean instead
- Cracked or melted substrate: needs replacement
