These guys forgot to pay their bill on Friday. In fact they were in such a hurry to leave they didn’t even say thank you. As soon as the van was lowered off the Jack - off they went! Unfortunately the phone numbers on the van are not live so we have no way of chasing them up. If anyone knows how to contact these guys please DM us. Or failing that BE WARNED!!

If you think your car may need a DPF clean? Read on ......

Check out this diary of a fellow TerraClean technician;

80% of the DPF faults attended this week did not need a DPF clean.

100% of DPF problems this week had an underlying issue causing the DPF fault. We identified every one of them correctly, first time.

Professional technicians such as those in the TerraClean network start with their own diagnostics before committing to cost of repair or confirming a need to clean.

The list of 10 for this week....

Mondeo 2.0tdci Required a Thermostat & Regeneration (self clean)
Transit 2.2tdci. Required an Exhaust temp sensor & a DPF Clean
Golf 2.0tdi. Required an inlet manifold and a DPF Clean
Astra 2.0cdti. Requires Glow Plugs & a software update
Merc C220d. Required air filter and software update & regeneration
Mondeo 2.0tdci. Required DPF pressure sensor pipes fitting the correct way after another garage replaced them incorrectly.
Golf 1.6tdi. Required a forced driven regeneration as owner had ignored DPF light.
S Max 2.2. Requires a fuel Vaporiser
Honda CRV Requires a Diesel Oxidising Catalyst
Mondeo 2.2tdci. Required a fuel Vaporiser and a driven regeneration

10 vehicles with DPF faults, where owners had asked about having them cleaned.

2 (only) were cleaned
9 needed other work &
1 needed the driver advising of what they should do when the warning light comes on.

Other companies may well have carried out the requested cleans & not addressed the causes of the problems. A cleaned DPF may block again quickly, if the cause of the blockage is not addressed.

If you’re experiencing DPF problems, or any problems with your vehicle and want accurate and conclusive diagnosis, get in touch.

If somebody says they can do the job "cheaper" be sure they can do it right, so it only needs to be done once.

We are your local TerraClean technicians and have the knowledge and experience & support of a 500+ strong network of fellow technicians, to sort your problems out. A network with a reputation for quality.

🔵DPF Removal Don’t be that guy🔵

❌Removal's not a legal option❌

It’s sometimes suggested that you can get a DPF cut out of the exhaust and the engine management software reprogrammed rather than pay to get it repaired.

DPFs are fitted to meet European emissions regulations and it would be an offence to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the emissions standards it was designed to meet.

Removing a DPF could also invalidate any insurance cover because it makes the vehicle illegal for road use.

A missing DPF, where one was fitted when the vehicle was built, will result in an MOT failure.

It is not illegal currently to offer the services of DPF removal, however it is illegal to drive with it removed. So the next time someone says rip it out, stop and think?

A DPF is a serviceable item, like most parts on a car, from time to time they need to be maintained and at TerraClean we have cleaning options available depending on make, model, mileage we can offer an in situ clean or an off the vehicle clean, either method helps to keep the DPF in healthy operation, and on the vehicle where it belongs.

Do you store your motorcycle over the winter?

Are you ready to get it back on the road, or have you done so already?

Is it running as well as you remember? or not.....

If you can feel the bike is not running as well as usual it is possibly due to the build up of contaminants in the fuel system, during the time it was not being used.

Simple answer, get a and get the best from your motorbike this summer.

We are your local centre so just make contact and we will explain the rest.

Enjoy your motorcycle and stay safe too.
