At Amin Auto, we provide specialized DPF cleaning and replacement services in London, Ontario, designed to restore your diesel vehicle’s performance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce harmful emissions. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a critical component in modern diesel engines, capturing and storing soot particles to minimize pollution. Over time, the DPF can become clogged, restricting airflow and triggering engine performance issues or warning lights.
If you’ve noticed poor fuel economy, loss of power, or a check engine light, it could be time to have your DPF inspected. Our team of experienced technicians uses professional-grade diagnostic tools and cleaning systems to assess the condition of your filter and either clean or replace it based on its condition. If you’re already coming in for diesel engine diagnostics, this is a key system we recommend inspecting thoroughly.
Why the Diesel Particulate Filter Matters
The DPF plays a key role in controlling emissions by trapping soot and other particulates before they exit your exhaust system. It prevents harmful materials from polluting the air and ensures your vehicle complies with environmental regulations.
When the DPF becomes too clogged to regenerate (clean itself through heat), it can:
- Trigger the check engine or DPF warning light
- Force the vehicle into limp mode
- Reduce power output and fuel economy
- Increase back pressure, which can damage the engine and turbocharger
That’s why timely DPF cleaning and replacement is critical for any diesel-powered vehicle.
Our DPF Cleaning and Replacement Services
At Amin Auto, we offer comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and if necessary, full DPF replacement services to restore your system’s function.
1. DPF Diagnostics
We begin by scanning your vehicle for DPF-related fault codes and checking sensor readings. Our diagnostics include:
- Pressure differential sensor testing
- Temperature sensor verification
- Soot load level assessment
- Exhaust system inspection for leaks or faults
2. DPF Cleaning
If your filter is clogged but structurally sound, we proceed with a professional cleaning process. This includes:
- Removing the DPF from the exhaust system
- Thermal and pneumatic cleaning to remove soot and ash
- Flow testing to verify efficiency
- Reinstallation with gasket replacement and system reset
Cleaning is a cost-effective way to extend the lifespan of your DPF and restore engine performance.
3. DPF Replacement
If the DPF is cracked, melted, or too saturated to clean, we’ll recommend full replacement. Our service includes:
- Safe removal of the old DPF
- Installation of a high-quality OEM or performance-grade filter
- Reprogramming or resetting the ECU (if required)
- Complete system testing post-installation
DPF replacement is often necessary when prolonged issues are left unaddressed. We often pair this with glow plug testing and replacement to ensure optimal starting and combustion conditions.
Common Symptoms of a Clogged DPF
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to schedule DPF cleaning and replacement:
- Poor throttle response or low engine power
- Excessive black smoke from the exhaust
- Decreased fuel efficiency
- Frequent regeneration cycles
- Check engine light or DPF warning indicator
Ignoring these signs can lead to additional damage to your turbocharger, sensors, and exhaust system. If needed, our turbocharger repair and replacement services are available to handle any related performance issues.
