If your diesel vehicle is in limp mode, showing a DPF warning light or constantly regenerating, you’re likely dealing with a blocked diesel particulate filter.
We provide professional DPF cleaning Australia wide, using advanced flash cleaning technology that guarantees the complete removal of PM10 soot particles, cerium deposits, oil contamination and ash build-up — without damaging the internal filter substrate.
Based in South Australia. Servicing cars, 4WDs, trucks, vans and heavy machinery across Australia.
What Is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of your vehicle’s emissions system. It traps soot and fine particulate matter (PM10) produced during combustion.
Over time, the DPF fills with:
- Carbon soot
- Ash residue
- Cerium from fuel additives
- Oil contamination
- Non-combustible particles
When the filter becomes restricted, exhaust back pressure increases. This reduces performance, increases fuel consumption and can damage turbos and EGR systems.
Signs Your DPF Is Blocked
If you’re searching for DPF cleaning in Australia, you’re probably seeing one or more of these symptoms:
- DPF warning light illuminated
- Limp mode activation
- Reduced power under load
- Poor fuel economy
- Constant regeneration cycles
- Black smoke
- Engine fault codes
For fleet operators and tradies, downtime costs money. A blocked DPF is not something to ignore.
Why Forced Regeneration Is Not Enough
Many mechanics attempt a forced regeneration. While this burns loose soot, it does not remove ash or non-combustible deposits.
Over time, ash builds up permanently inside the filter channels. No amount of highway driving or forced regen will remove it.
That’s where professional DPF cleaning becomes necessary.
Our Advanced Flash DPF Cleaning System
We use a specialised flash cleaning machine with a unique system designed to completely clean the internal structure of the diesel particulate filter.
Our process removes:
- PM10 soot
- Cerium residue
- Oil contamination
- Embedded ash
Without cracking, melting or damaging the ceramic substrate.
This is not a chemical soak. It’s not a backyard pressure wash. It’s a controlled, professional DPF cleaning solution designed for long-term results.
DPF Cleaning vs DPF Replacement
Replacing a diesel particulate filter can cost:
- $3,000–$8,000+ for 4WDs and light commercial vehicles
- $8,000–$20,000+ for heavy trucks
- Significantly more for mining and plant machinery
Professional DPF cleaning restores airflow and back pressure levels at a fraction of replacement cost.
In most cases, cleaning is the smart financial decision.

Why DPFs Block in Australia
Australian driving conditions make DPF blockage common.
Contributing factors include:
- Short urban trips
- Stop-start traffic
- Towing heavy loads
- Long idle times
- Low-RPM driving
- Poor fuel quality
- Oil contamination
Tradies and fleet vehicles are particularly vulnerable because they rarely complete full regeneration cycles.
DPF Cleaning for Tradies & Owner Operators
If your ute or work truck goes into limp mode, your day stops.
We regularly clean DPFs for:
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Builders
- Landscapers
- Civil contractors
- Delivery drivers
Our service restores performance so you can get back to work quickly.
Fleet DPF Cleaning Solutions
Fleet managers across Australia trust professional DPF cleaning to reduce operating costs.
Blocked DPF systems increase:
- Fuel consumption
- Turbo wear
- Engine stress
- Vehicle downtime
Cleaning extends filter life and protects your fleet investment.
We offer fast turnaround to minimise downtime.
Heavy Machinery & Plant DPF Cleaning
Construction and mining equipment often run for long hours under heavy load. This leads to severe soot and ash accumulation.
A blocked DPF in plant machinery means:
- Reduced engine power
- Increased fuel burn
- Fault codes
- Potential shutdown
Our industrial-grade cleaning process restores correct airflow and protects expensive equipment.

How the DPF Cleaning Process Works
- DPF removed from vehicle
- Unit freighted to our workshop
- Inspection and assessment
- Professional flash cleaning process
- Internal flow restoration
- Return freight to customer
Once refitted, most vehicles return to normal operation with restored airflow and performance.
When Should You Clean Your DPF?
ou should consider professional DPF cleaning if:
- Your vehicle has over 150,000–250,000 km
- Regeneration frequency is increasing
- Fuel economy is dropping
- Back pressure readings are high
- DPF fault codes persist
Preventative cleaning can save thousands in long-term repair costs.
DPF Cleaning Near Me – Australia Wide Service
Searching for “DPF cleaning near me”?
If you’re anywhere in Australia, we can help. Freight makes location irrelevant. Many of our customers operate nationally and simply send their DPF to us for professional cleaning.
You don’t need a local workshop guessing at the problem. You need a specialist who cleans DPF systems properly.
Protect Your Turbo, EGR & Engine
High exhaust back pressure caused by a blocked DPF can lead to:
- Turbocharger failure
- EGR valve issues
- Increased engine wear
- Higher fuel consumption
Cleaning your diesel particulate filter is preventative maintenance that protects your engine.
