It might not need JLM Lubricants International solutions, but this is a fascinating look at diagnostics, and the JLM display behind Alan is worth seeing on its own 🤗

This is a perfect example of why AJ Fleetcare Academy train top DPF and Diesel mechanics to search for the root causes, and not just a quick fix.

No 2 in this series of DPF Common Issues from CL Automotive

Active regeneration takes time. If you only drive far enough to start a regen but then park up and switch off before it finishes, the cycle aborts - and the next one starts from a worse position. Do this repeatedly and the filter never gets clean.

The fix: Learn the signs your car is regenerating: the engine note changes slightly, the cooling fan may run harder, idle speed sits higher, fuel use jumps, and there's sometimes a hot, acrid smell when you stop. If you spot these, keep driving for another 10 minutes where you safely can, rather than parking immediately.

Excellent comment from CL Automotive and the perfect solution between services is JLM Lubricants International J02200 DPF Regen Plus.
Passive Regeneration at lower temperatures

This is the number one cause, and it's the one most people don't realise they're causing. Short trips around town never let the exhaust get hot enough for a passive regen, and they rarely last long enough for an active regen to finish. The soot just accumulates.

The fix: Once a week, give the car a proper run - 15–20 minutes on a dual carriageway or motorway at 40 - 50mph or more, ideally in a slightly lower gear to keep the revs up. Around here, a steady run on the A189 or A19 is perfect for triggering a regen. If short trips are unavoidable for you long term, you may need periodic professional cleaning to stay ahead of it.

If you have tried the fix and you still have a dpf issue please get in touch and we'll be happy to help. Call us on 07853 617 570.

Who will be the next Top Garage / Technician 2026?



Aftermarket Magazine Car Mechanics

Behind every Top Awards year is a group of companies who genuinely believe in the UK aftermarket. 👏

For 2026, we're proud to have these partners on board:
🔹 Snap-on
🔹 Topdon UK
🔹 VARTA
🔹 Delphi
🔹 JLM Lubricants
🔹 GarageHive
🔹 Omoda | Jaecoo

Every one of them puts something real into this competition. Tools, training, kit, expertise, and the belief that independent garages and the techs inside them deserve to be recognised properly.

Without them, there's no semi-finals. No finals at Delphi Academy. No Awards Dinner in November.

Massive thanks from all of us at Top Awards. Here's to a proper 2026. 🏆
