Top DPF cleaning misconceptions
1. “DPF cleaning causes damage to the DPF”
Some workshops and vehicle owners think that high pressure DPF cleaning can cause damage to the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
In fact, Carbon Clean’s DPF Cleaning Machines do the complete opposite.
They improve the DPF by removing up to 100% of carbon, soot and ash built up and successfully regenerate the DPF.
Their machines have operating pressures between 2-6 bar which are optimal pressures which completely unblock soot and ash without affecting the structure of the core element.
Furthermore, no harsh chemicals are used which could damage the precious metals within the DPF.
The high pressure air and water along with a special formulated nano catalyst technology solution will clear any DPF’s on the market.
2. “You get bad waste from DPF cleaning”
DPF Cleaning does mean that you will have a lot of bad waste.
However, Carbon Clean provide environmentally friendly chemicals which are designed to separate water from solid particulate waste from the DPF (ash & soot sediments).
Once they are separated, the DPF waste can easily be deposited into the current waste oil drums which are typically used in the workshop.
3 “It’s better to buy a new DPF”
OEMs make much higher profits from selling new DPF’s rather than professional aftermarket restorations and that’s why they push this narrative.
The average price of a Mercedes C-class DPF can cost around £2,500 however a professional DPF clean with this technology costs around £250, that’s a tenth of the price.
When you consider commercial fleets, that’s an absolutely massive cost saving which is why Carbon Clean’s machines have become so popular. ... See MoreSee Less

What is the Diesel Emissions Action about?
European Regulators have found that the VW Group (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda) cheated emissions tests and lied to consumers about their diesel vehicles, saying they were more environmentally friendly and more efficient than advertised.
The Volkswagen Group breached emissions regulations by fitting a defeat device into 1.2 million vehicles in the UK. Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from the affected vehicles exceeded the permitted limit by many times.
This means that drivers likely paid more than they should have and could be owed thousands of pounds in compensation as a result.
Can I join the group action to claim?
If you have ever purchased, leased or financed any of the VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda diesels or listed above – new or second-hand – then you should join the group action as you may be entitled to compensation.

DVLA staff have begun a four-day strike at its headquarters in Swansea after union members voted to support action in protest at the agency’s Covid-19 safety measures.
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) says it wants its members to be able to work from home and that those who can’t but don’t feel safe working in offices shouldn’t be forced to do so.
Some progress has been made following talks, according to the union, with 300 desks removed to free up space inside offices and risk assessments being revised.
Extra leeway is being given to pregnant women and employees living with vulnerable people, which has led to a further 300 staff being sent home.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “DVLA management need to stop playing fast and loose with the safety of their own workers, because the stakes are just too high.
“That PCS members are prepared to take unprecedented strike action shows just how badly DVLA management have failed in their responsibility to keep staff safe.”
