DPF REMOVAL SERVICES
DPF Removal and Cleaning Service


DPF Removal – The Right Way to Clean & Restore Performance
At Autojob, we provide a professional DPF removal service for thorough cleaning while ensuring compliance with emissions regulations. Our process involves temporarily removing the DPF, SCR, GPF, CAT, or DOC from your vehicle for deep cleaning and restoration before refitting it in like-new condition.
Common Signs of a Blocked DPF
If your DPF warning light is on, you may be experiencing one or more of the following issues:
- Reduced engine performance and power loss
- Increased fuel consumption
- Frequent regeneration failures
- Excessive exhaust smoke or bad odors
Ignoring these signs can lead to complete filter failure, engine damage, and expensive repairs.

If you’re experiencing DPF issues, avoid the costly mistake of permanent removal. Instead, let Autojob professionally clean and restore your emissions system the right way. Contact us today to schedule your DPF cleaning or learn more about our nationwide collection and delivery services.
How Our DPF Removal for Cleaning Works
1. Inspection & Diagnosis
- We assess the condition of the DPF and surrounding components to identify any underlying issues.
- Over 90% of blocked DPFs result from another failing engine component.
- Common causes include faulty sensors, turbocharger issues, EGR faults, or incorrect engine oil.
2. Professional Removal & Cleaning
- The DPF unit is carefully removed for deep cleaning using:
- Thermal Cleaning – Ideal for heavy contamination (oil, crystallized AdBlue, soot).
- Hydropneumatic Cleaning – A high-pressure reverse-flow process to remove trapped particles.
3. Reinstallation & Testing
- The cleaned unit is reinstalled, and a final diagnostic check ensures optimal functionality.
- We advise all customers to have their vehicle software checked by the manufacturer to ensure it is up to date.
What We Do NOT Do – No Illegal Modifications
At Autojob, we do not engage in or recommend any form of permanent DPF removal, EGR removal, or emissions system tampering. These illegal modifications:
- Violate emissions laws, leading to hefty fines.
- Reduce fuel efficiency and vehicle performance over time.
- Cause MOT/NCT test failures, making your vehicle non-compliant.
Many inexperienced individuals and unlicensed operators offer cheap, permanent DPF removal services, often using poor diagnostic tools and copied software. This results in long-term engine issues, costly repairs, and legal consequences.
Industry Applications – We Clean DPFs for All Vehicle Types
Our DPF cleaning service is available for:
- Passenger Vehicles – Cars, vans, SUVs
- Commercial & Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Trucks, buses, lorries, agricultural tractors
- Marine & Industrial Equipment – Plant machinery, marine exhaust systems
The Benefits of Professional DPF Cleaning Instead of Removal
- Choosing to properly clean your DPF instead of permanently removing it provides numerous advantages:
- Restores exhaust system performance
- Improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions
- Extends the lifespan of your DPF and engine
- Keeps your vehicle road legal and emissions-compliant
- Prevents costly replacements and repairs

Why Regular DPF Cleaning is Essential
Modern vehicles and industrial engines operate under strict emissions regulations. Over time, contaminants such as soot, oil residues, and crystallized AdBlue accumulate, reducing efficiency and causing blockages. More than 90% of the time, a blocked or damaged DPF is caused by a failure in another engine component, leading to excessive particulate buildup. Factors that contribute to DPF issues include:
- Extended service intervals
- Low-quality fuel
- Incorrect engine oil
- Poor driving habits and short trips
Without proper cleaning, a clogged DPF can lead to engine damage, reduced fuel efficiency, and costly repairs.
The Benefits of Our DPF Cleaning Service
- Complete removal of PM10 particulates, oil residues, cerium, and crystallized AdBlue.
- Preservation of noble metals within DPF, SCR, and CAT components.
- Safe and eco-friendly process with no harmful chemical use.
- Enhanced performance & fuel efficiency by restoring exhaust flow.
- Cost savings by avoiding premature filter replacement.

How Autojob’s DPF Cleaning Works
- Comprehensive Inspection – We assess the filter’s condition to determine the best cleaning method. If a unit is beyond cleaning, we offer alternative solutions such as recoring or replacement.
- Cleaning Process Selection:
- Hydropneumatic Cleaning – A reverse-flow air and water cleaning method that effectively removes soot buildup.
- Thermal Cleaning – A high-temperature process in our custom-built kiln, designed to break down oil, AdBlue, and carbonized deposits in large filters while preventing thermal runaway in an oxygen-deprived atmosphere.
- Post-Cleaning Validation – Every cleaned filter is tested and certified for restored performance.
