Diesel Particulate Regeneration

Filters are used to prevent unwanted substances or particles from getting into an area. On vehicles, it works just the same except the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is preventing pollution from getting into the atmosphere by trapping chemical covered soot which is released from the engine and travels through the exhaust.

Which regeneration does my vehicle need?

  • Active – manually increasing the exhausts temperature which commences burning the soot. Approximate 10-minute completion time.
  • Passive – relies on the exhaust already being hot to remove the soot and/or using ECU to control the process
  • Forced – this type of regeneration also requires an engine oil and oiler filter change.

This emphasises why it is so important to clean the DPF regularly. If you bring your vehicle to Harrisons, we can conduct a Diesel Particulate Regeneration and blast way the trapped soot at approximately 600 °C.

  • 5 star review  Well pleased with the work, staff, organisation and working environment. I recommend Harrisons to anyone who is in need of any work on your car. I wish I had known of this garage years ago. The atmosphere at the garage leaves you with a feeling of confidence and assurance the job is done well. Everything explained in detail, that you can understand, quite rare these days I think. thanks.

  • 5 star review  Despite the dislocations being caused by the covid lockdown, provided an MOT (sourcing and replacing all damaged shocks), service and some electrical work within a single day. Very professional yet friendly.

  • 5 star review  Guys here are super friendly! I don't feel like they try and take advantage of the fact I'm a young girl who doesn't know anything about cars. Good prices with payment plan options too. Been able to see to me with short notice. Would definitely recommend

Excellent customer service that goes above and beyond.Helped me out recently with good advice without pushing add on's that most garages seem to do.Only quote for work needed without pushing other expensive services that are not asked for or necessary. Would highly recommend, not enough honest garage services out there.
