DPF Regeneration in Lincoln - Bosch Service Centre

A DPF Clean in Lincoln That Keeps Your Car Running Smoothly

If you drive a diesel car, then you may be familiar with your vehicle’s diesel particulate filter - or DPF, for short. Located in your vehicle’s exhaust, the DPF is designed to reduce the level of harmful emissions produced by your car. If you tend to drive shorter distances, then there is a good chance that your vehicle’s DPF could be blocked without you even realising. This could be the case if you live in a small town, and don’t often need to travel far in your vehicle. Journeys of such consistently short distances will not give your vehicle enough time to complete the regeneration process. When you need to book in for professional DPF regeneration in Lincoln, you can trust Bosch Service Centre to do the job right.

Is Your Diesel Particulate Filter Blocked?

Ordinarily, your diesel vehicle will carry out passive regeneration when the exhaust reaches a high enough temperature during a longer drive. However, when your diesel particulate filter is blocked, it will struggle to do so. Not to mention the layer of ash that will be left behind, which can go on to cause problems for your DPF.

Similarly, though the process of active regeneration that your vehicle’s electronic control unit activates will burn off some of the excess soot in your DPF, regeneration will not eradicate it entirely. By the time your DPF is 70% full of soot, you will need to book professional DPF regeneration in Lincoln so that a skilled garage team can clean the DPF for you.
