The faults we see most often
Short-trip saturation, differential-pressure sensor faults, blocked pressure pipes, temperature sensors and interrupted regenerations. We also check EGR, injectors, turbo, thermostat and oil consumption.

DPF filter problems and repair
What a diesel particulate filter does, common faults, saturation causes and the cost of regeneration, cleaning or replacement.
Soot · ash · regeneration · differential pressure
A loaded DPF is the result; the cause may be somewhere else.
A DPF traps soot and burns it during regeneration. Oil ash cannot be burned and accumulates with age. When the filter loads again, we first find why the engine is producing excessive soot or why regeneration cannot complete.
Why the problem develops
Without enough temperature, the ECU cannot complete regeneration. Poor injector spray, an intake leak or burned oil fills the filter far faster and makes a stand-alone clean short-lived.
How we choose regeneration, cleaning or replacement
We measure back pressure and calculated load, verify sensors and root cause and assess the monolith. Regenerating a cracked filter or cleaning one contaminated by oil will not solve the fault.
Typical repair costs
Forced regeneration in Spain commonly costs €60–€90, professional off-car cleaning €150–€350 and replacement €700–€1,800 depending on model. The final quote includes addressing the cause that loaded or damaged it.

Tell us what you own
Send us the make, model, engine, modifications and what you want to feel after the tune.
We recommend the right stage
We will explain whether Stage 1, Stage 2 or a custom tune is the best choice and agree the price with you.
We do the tuning
Bring the vehicle to our Leon location or arrange a mobile visit across Leon and selected work within 200 km; worldwide tuning file service. We prepare the tune and keep your original file safe.
