Just Brilliant had running issues for months wasted a lot of money and was recommended here by a friend. Had my van a number of hours and already diagnosed and for a very competitive price. Work was completed in a great timescale and van is now amazing. Leaving a great review for a garage and owner that truly know what they are doing! Thanks once again
DPF cleaning in Northampton with the XTON DUAL AI.
We clean diesel particulate filters in our Northampton workshop using the state-of-the-art XTON DPF Master Flash DUAL AI machine. It restores blocked filters to free-flowing condition without cutting them open, for drivers and garages across Northamptonshire.

XTON DPF Master Flash DUAL AI
The DUAL AI is XTON's professional regeneration machine for diesel particulate filters. It cleans the filter in both directions with a pressurised hydrodynamic wash, dries it under controlled heat, and measures the back-pressure before and after so you can see the result.
It handles DPF, FAP, GPF and SCR filters and catalytic converters from Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles.
Book a DPF CleanOur DPF cleaning process
Pressure test
We measure the back-pressure across your filter before cleaning, so we know exactly how blocked it is.
Two-way wash
The DUAL AI runs an automatic hydrodynamic wash through the filter in both directions, flushing out soot, ash and oil residue.
Controlled drying
The filter is dried inside the machine with temperature-controlled hot air, ready to refit.
Re-test
Back-pressure is measured again to confirm the filter now flows freely.
Report & refit
You get a printed before-and-after report, and we refit the filter and clear any fault codes.
Common signs of a blocked DPF
- DPF or engine warning light on the dashboard
- Car going into limp mode or losing power
- Frequent or failed regenerations
- Higher fuel consumption
- Black smoke or a strong smell from the exhaust
- Failed MOT emissions test
Save the cost of a new filter
A new DPF can cost well over a thousand pounds. In most cases a professional clean restores the original filter for a fraction of that. It keeps your car's manufacturer-fitted part and keeps it road legal.
We also offer full DPF fault diagnostics, because a blocked filter is often a symptom of something else, such as a faulty sensor, EGR valve or injector. We find and fix the cause so the problem doesn't come back.
Garages and trade: we accept loose DPF drop-offs at our Moulton Park workshop.

DPF cleaning FAQs
Can I drop off just the filter?
Yes. We accept loose DPFs from garages and the trade at our Northampton workshop. Call us first and we'll book it in.
Is cleaning better than replacing the DPF?
In most cases, yes. A clean costs a fraction of a new filter and keeps your original, manufacturer-fitted part. If we find the filter is cracked or damaged, we'll tell you before doing any work.
Do you remove DPFs?
No. Removing a DPF from a road car is illegal in the UK and causes an MOT failure. We clean and restore your filter so it works as the manufacturer intended.
Which vehicles do you clean?
Cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials of all makes, plus filters from trucks, buses and agricultural or plant machinery.
