Details: Each vehicle is different and so, we always carry out a full and thorough diagnostic session before and after the DPF removal to ensure there are no more underlying faults which could cause problems in the future. We erase all faults from the ECU and reprogram the ECU to completely de-activate the DPF system and at the same time canceling out all regeneration processes. This means the ECU will no longer look for the DPF and will not attempt to enter any future regeneration cycles.
Warranty: All our DPF Removal + Smoke Correction sessions come with a Lifetime warranty.
Will DPF Removal Cause Me To Fail An MOT?
Removing the DPF is offered for off-road and motorsport use only. On a vehicle used on the road it is an MOT failure: the DVSA MOT inspection manual records emission control equipment that is missing, obviously modified or obviously defective as a Major defect (section 8.2.2.1) and names diesel particulate filters explicitly, and evidence that a DPF has been tampered with is a Major defect in its own right. This has been the case since February 2014 and applies to vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2002. Separately, the Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 make it an offence to use a vehicle on the road with its emissions equipment removed or rendered inoperative. If your car is road-used and the filter is blocked, our DPF cleaning service is the road-legal fix.
