DPFCleaninginIvybridge.
Ivybridge sits right on the A38, which makes us unusually easy to reach - our Totnes workshop is about 15 miles away, junction to junction. Plenty of Ivybridge diesels still arrive with blocked DPFs though: the daily pattern of short hops around town and the school run never gets the filter hot enough for long enough, whatever the dual carriageway outside promises.
Commuter diesels and half-finished regens
Many Ivybridge drivers commute a short hop to Plymouth or work locally - journeys that end just as the DPF reaches regeneration temperature. Active regens that keep getting interrupted leave unburnt soot behind, and over months the filter loads to the point of warning lights, poor MPG and limp mode.
Off-vehicle cleaning strips the filter back properly - soot and ash - with flow-test figures before and after so you can see exactly what was recovered.
Easy drop-off, or collection by arrangement
From Ivybridge it's a 20-25 minute run east on the A38 to the A385 Totnes junction. Drop the removed filter with us before 10am and it's often cleaned the same working day.
Collection from Ivybridge, Lee Mill and South Brent can be arranged, and Plymouth-side garages can combine filters with our Plymouth collections.
Off-Vehicle Cleaning at Our Totnes Workshop
Every filter goes through the same documented workshop process: inspection, aqueous deep clean, high-pressure pneumatic flush, drying and a back-pressure flow test before and after - so you get proof of the result, not just a promise. DPF cleaning is a workshop-based, off-vehicle service; it is not something we do at the roadside.
Cleaning starts from £210, with UK postal cleaning from £230 and HGV/plant filters quoted individually - compared with £500-£2,000+ for a typical replacement. Filters with us before 10am are often returned the same working day.
Ivybridge DPF Cleaning FAQs
Can I drop my DPF off on the way to work?
Yes - we're open from 8am on weekdays at Webbers Yard, Totnes, an easy detour off the A38/A385. Filters dropped before 10am are often cleaned the same working day, so many commuters drop off in the morning and collect on the way home.
Do you work with garages in Ivybridge?
Yes - trade work is a large part of what we do. We provide documented before-and-after flow testing with every clean, which garages use for their customer records, and multiple filters can go on one collection.
Will a clean fix my limp mode?
If the blockage is the cause, yes - restoring flow clears the fault once the codes are reset. If a sensor or another underlying fault triggered it, cleaning alone won't cure it, which is why we offer paid DPF diagnostics to confirm the cause first.

Trusted for DPF Cleaning
Auto Cleanse removed, cleaned and replaced my dpf effectively and promptly, all in all a trouble free service. Communication was excellent and I'm no longer scared of my DPF. I'd recommend this company.
I took my VW Golf diesel to AutoClean after it went into limp mode with a flashing glow-plug light and suspected DPF blockage. Tom carried out proper diagnostics and confirmed the DPF itself was healthy. Instead of replacing parts unnecessarily, they identified a faulty DPF differential pressure sensor as the root cause. The issue was explained clearly, the costs were transparent, and the repair was completed promptly. Limp mode resolved immediately and no further work was pushed. I appreciated that they didn't default to a costly DPF removal when it wasn't needed. Good diagnostics, straightforward communication, and a proportionate fix. Would recommend if you're dealing with DPF or emissions-related issues.
Just wanted to say thanks again for the super quick response and turnaround for DPF Cleaning, picked up and dropped off within two hours. Can't fault the service and advice from Alex at Auto Cleanse, we will definitely be using your services in the future. Would 100% recommend Auto Cleanse to anyone.
