When your DPF warning light comes on or your diesel vehicle loses power, professional diesel particulate filter cleaning can save you thousands compared to replacement. At Auckland Diesel & Automotive Specialists, we combine advanced DPF cleaning technology with thorough diagnostic expertise to restore your filter's performance and address the underlying issues causing blockages.
Based in Henderson and serving West Auckland and beyond, our experienced team handles DPF cleaning and maintenance for all diesel makes and models — from family vehicles and utes to light commercial fleets.
Our DPF Service Process
Complete DPF Cleaning Services
A blocked diesel particulate filter doesn't just trigger warning lights — it reduces engine performance, increases fuel consumption, and can cause serious damage if left unaddressed. Our comprehensive approach goes beyond simply cleaning the filter.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
Before cleaning, we perform thorough diagnostics to identify why your DPF blocked in the first place. Underlying issues like faulty sensors, injector problems, or excessive oil consumption can cause rapid re-blocking if not addressed.
Post-Clean Testing & Verification
After cleaning, we test the filter to verify restoration of proper flow and function before reinstallation.
Professional DPF Removal & Inspection
We carefully remove your DPF and conduct detailed visual inspection to assess the filter's condition and identify any physical damage that cleaning won't resolve.
System Reset & Road Testing
We clear fault codes, reset the system, and conduct road testing to ensure everything operates as it should.
Advanced Cleaning Technology
Using professional-grade equipment, we remove accumulated soot, ash and particulate matter that prevent proper regeneration, restoring airflow and filter function.
Why Choose Our DPF Cleaning Specialist Team?
Many workshops stop at cleaning the filter. We take the time to understand why it blocked and address those issues, giving you lasting results instead of a temporary fix.
Root Cause Diagnostics
We identify and resolve the underlying problems causing DPF blockages — faulty EGR valves, sensor issues, injector faults, or driving pattern concerns — preventing premature re-blocking.
Full Mechanical Workshop Capability
Unlike DPF-only specialists, we can diagnose and repair related diesel system issues in-house, from fuel injectors to turbochargers, saving you time and multiple workshop visits.
Two Decades of Diesel Expertise
Our experience with diesel systems means we understand how DPF problems relate to broader engine health and can spot issues others might miss
Honest Assessment & Advice
If your filter is beyond cleaning or if there are more cost-effective solutions, we'll tell you straight. We focus on what's right for your situation, not just making a sale.
Cars, Utes & Light Commercial
We service diesel vehicles of all makes and models, including European and Japanese diesels, work utes, and small commercial fleets.

Understanding DPF Problems
Your diesel particulate filter captures soot from exhaust gases, storing it until the system can burn it off through a process called regeneration. When regeneration can't occur properly or happens too frequently, the filter becomes blocked.
Common DPF Warning Signs
-
DPF warning light illuminated on dashboard
-
Noticeable loss of engine power or "limp mode"
-
Increased fuel consumption
-
Excessive exhaust smoke
-
Frequent forced regeneration attempts
-
Strong smell during regeneration cycles
What Causes DPF Blockages?
Regular short trips where the engine doesn't reach optimal temperature can prevent natural regeneration. Faulty sensors, worn injectors, or excessive oil consumption can accelerate soot buildup. Our diagnostic approach identifies these contributing factors alongside cleaning your filter.
