DPF Cleaning, EGR & AdBlue Repair

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) traps soot from the exhaust and burns it off during regeneration. Short trips, a faulty sensor or an underlying EGR or injector problem can stop that happening — the filter blocks, the dash lights up and the engine drops into limp mode. We measure the soot and ash load, clean or force-regenerate the filter where it’s viable (far cheaper than a new filter), and fix the underlying cause so it doesn’t simply block again.

The EGR valve recirculates exhaust gas to lower combustion temperatures, and over time it clogs with carbon — causing rough idle, hesitation, poor economy and fault codes. We clean and refit a serviceable valve, or replace a failed one with a quality part, then clear the faults and confirm the system is operating correctly. On vehicles that use AdBlue/SCR, we go further than a code reset: faulty sensors, contaminated fluid or dosing faults that trigger AdBlue warnings and countdowns are diagnosed, recalibrated and repaired so the system works correctly and your diesel stays road-legal.

Every job starts on the diagnostic scanner: we read the live soot and ash load and pull the fault history before touching anything, so you’re not paying to clean a filter that actually has a sensor or injector fault behind it. Where the filter is recoverable we force-regenerate and clean it on-car — usually the same day, and far cheaper than replacement (a new OEM DPF for a common ute or 4WD can run $1,500–$4,000+). If it’s genuinely beyond saving we’ll tell you straight and quote your options. You get a firm price after the diagnostic check, before any work goes ahead.
