Additional Information About the Service
DPF/FAP Filter Regeneration helps restore the filter's original properties without the need for an expensive replacement. This process involves several important stages so you can drive again without issues related to exhaust system contamination.
Diagnosis and Preparation
We start with a thorough diagnosis to understand how severely the filter is contaminated and if there are any damages. Using specialized equipment, our technicians determine the level of blockage and check if the regeneration system is functioning. This diagnosis helps us choose the right cleaning method and assess whether the filter can be restored or needs to be replaced.
Cleaning and Restoration
The main part of the work is deep cleaning. We carefully extract the filter and apply specialized agents that dissolve soot and other contaminants. If necessary, we flush the housing and channels of the filter to remove all blockages. If the filter has minor damages, our specialists try to fix them to extend its lifespan. In cases where the filter is severely damaged, we honestly inform you that it is safer to replace it.
Final Checks and Installation
After cleaning, we test the filter for permeability and ensure it is functioning correctly. We then reinstall it in the vehicle and conduct a performance check of the engine. This way, you will notice the difference in your vehicle's performance and have confidence that the particulate filter is once again fulfilling its function. The entire process usually takes from a few hours to one working day, depending on the condition of the filter.
