It is very common in the TerraClean network for dealers such as ourselves to be presented with vehicles with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) related problems. Cars which have been to other garages or are even being brought to us by other garages - who simply cannot resolve the problems.

We can, because we have the knowledge and experience - plus the technical support, if required, of hundreds of other TC dealers.

Here are examples; 2 vehicles which one of our fellow dealers recently resolved and got back on the road, fully operational - faults resolved and without any warning lights.

A & a Ford

Landrover DPFs are known to block, often due to driving style. This one also had a kinked pressure pipe where another garage had attempted to repair the fault! Fixed the pipe, carried out a clean and ensured the vehicle was able to regenerate on its own .

The Ford Ranger had to be towed into them with an engine warning light on. Diagnosed with a blocked DPF due to depleted Adblue. They carried out a clean, topped up the AdBlue and carried out a re-gen. Another happy customer . All done quickly - because they knew what to do.

If your vehicle has a warning light, don't go round the houses, come to us, your local operator first. Have it fixed first time by expert technicians who understand the technology and can quickly get to the solution.

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.

A record number of vehicles failed their MOT test last year due to faults relating to exhaust emissions, new data suggests.

A Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the DVSA - by Bookmygarage.com - found more cars have failed on emissions in the past two years than any other before it.

Diesel vehicles have seen the greatest surge in failures due to emissions, with a rise of 240% compared to just 37% for petrol vehicles.

In May 2018, the government introduced tougher MOT regulations to clamp down on vehicles producing excessive emissions which led to a significant rise in failures of more than 70%.

Jessica Potts, head of marketing at BookMyGarage.com, said: “The regulations have mostly impacted diesel cars, causing more than triple the number to fail, compared to petrol car failures which have only increased by a third.”

The large increase in diesel failures was caused by a change to rules for cars equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Any car equipped with a DPF will fail an MOT if there is either evidence it has been tampered with or if smoke of any colour can be seen coming from the exhaust.

DPFs became standard on all diesel cars in 2009 to comply with Euro 5 emissions standards, though a few cars older than this may also be equipped with a DPF. Its purpose is to trap soot particles from exhaust emissions which are toxic to humans.

DVSA also introduced new fault categories, with ‘Major’ or ‘Dangerous’ faults resulting in a failed test.

Almost all petrol emissions failures were classed as ‘Major’ last year. By comparison, around 5% of all diesel emissions failures were classed as ‘Dangerous’, meaning the car should not be driven until the fault is rectified.

Potts said: “Since the Volkswagen ‘dieselgate’ scandal in 2015, diesel cars have earned a bad reputation for producing harmful exhaust emissions.”

According to the SMMT, the market share of diesel cars accounted for just 16% of new car sales last year. In 2015, about 50% of new cars sold were diesel.

“That’s not to say all diesels are bad,” continued Potts. “The latest diesel cars are equipped with emissions control systems such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (AdBlue) to reduce or eliminate harmful emissions.

“What this data tells us though, is that an increasing number of relatively modern diesels are struggling to pass the MOT test as their emissions control systems face tougher scrutiny. It’s important these systems function correctly to protect the environment but putting them right can also cost owners thousands of pounds.”

Although diesels have seen a much larger failure rate increase in recent years, petrol cars are actually still more likely to fail, with 4.5% of the total number licenced failing annually due to emissions, compared to 3.3% for diesels.

💨 This Ford Ranger was transported in to one of our fellow dealers with a completely . The truck wouldn’t even run! There are those in the trade who would remove it (making vehicle illegal for use on public roads). There are those who would suggest it was beyond economical repair and offer to replace it.

The key to getting the best result for the owner was professional by a technician with the knowledge and understanding of DPF technology.
TerraClean dealers have the knowledge and experience required and a massive network of other dealers to use as a knowledge bank if needed.

Diagnostics done - 🔥 A few hours later, the DPF was restored to full functionality without the need of being removed or replaced. Saving the owner £££s.
If you have problems or warning lights contact us.

A question which has been asked since we first introduced the TerraClean technology into the market, is can you TerraClean my Motorcycle, Petrol Car, Diesel Car, Van, Truck .... & More.

Here is a great example of the type of thing which can benefit from a TerraClean Fuel system clean - a Compressor. It is just one example of "something else" the technology can improve.

If it has an internal combustion engine (with a limited number of exceptions) it is highly likely we can clean the fuel system for you using TerraClean technology. The TC official service centre used as part of a routine service for the owner along with other standard service processes.

If you want the best from your engines and want to help preserve their useful life talk to us - your local TerraClean service centre for help and advice.

Also, remember when that dreaded engine warning light comes on make us your first call for advice. Trained, experienced, knowledgeable professionals - part of a great support network.

Many people are now aware that the DPF part of their exhaust system can block and cause problems. Another component which can be blocked by carbon build up is an EGR System (EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation).

As a dealer we have a great tool for cleaning that component, when required.

Check out this Rav4 having its EGR systems cleaned.

Development of such a blockage can cause reduced power, misfiring, smoking and reduced MPG in diesel vehicles.

Cleaning EGR systems has traditionally involved component removal and cleaning by hand, or full EGR valve replacement, both of which can be labour-intensive and expensive. Not any more...

The TerraDiesel EGR System Cleaning Tool enables us to clean, and restore, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system without the need to dismantle. The tool works by applying TerraDiesel EGR and Induction System patented Cleaner into the system to remove stubborn carbon deposits.

Please note that replacing the EGR Valve on its own is a quick fix which many companies do - and will eliminate the issue BUT only for a short time. The value is only one part of the system, carbon will remain built up in other parts of the system. Our process will clean the full system.

Also dealers have the expertise to correctly diagnose, & make the right decision on how to proceed- repair, clean or replace a faulty EGR component.

Price varies according to make and model, contact us for more information.

We do not claim to be the cheapest on the market, but we are the best at what we do, using the most advanced systems.

Buy cheap pay twice.

This is not untypical of the enquiries which we, as a dealer, get from people with lights on.......

"My light is on. Can you clean my DPF? How much to clean my DPF?"

It would be simple to answer the question asked and clean the DPF. But as experts we know that the light can come on for various reasons, and cleaning the DPF may NOT resolve the problem.

The light is on because there is a fault in the DPF system, not necessarily because it needs a clean.

Diagnostics, correct identification of the problem - which is not just reading the tool output - but applying knowledge and experience, is the key. Then appropriate action to remove the problems, is what the vehicle needs.

In this instance no clean needed, saving the owner £££s. A forced regeneration, oil and oil filter change, and a new air filter - along with a software reset & the problem was resolved.

Alarmingly though this air filter was changed not long ago.

Had the clean been done, as the owner was asking, the vehicle would have been back again with the same DPF blocked again very soon.

As TerraClean dealers, and responsible professionals, we identify and address the causes of problems - not just treat the symptoms.

For more information just ask for further details of how we can help you.

This is Paul's Cooper 1.6 which he asked a dealer in the Official network to carry out a service on - he had heard through a forum that it would be good for it.

Service carried out as requested and off Paul went for a drive to check it out - this is what he reported back with:

"Been for a blast in the mini and i'm well impressed.

Noticed the difference straight away, ticks over perfect now and acceleration is excellent.

Would definitely recommend. "Thanks again Paul.
