If you want to book a diesel particulate filter clean in Lancing, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
The main road through Lancing is the A27, which connects to Chichester 20 miles west and passes north of Brighton further east. Other roads in the village include the A259 and A2025. Since Lancing is small and Brighton is just 10 miles away, you may want to compare garages in both areas. Compass Travel and Stagecoach are the leading bus operators in the area (stops include Upper Brighton Road and West Lane), and Lancing railway station is on South Street.
Since Lancing is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Lancing.
Diesel particulate filters are crucial because they capture and store exhaust soot to help reduce your car's emissions. Since 2009, all diesel cars have been required to have a DPF.
Passive regeneration is the primary way of keeping a DPF filter clean. It happens when the exhaust reaches a high temperature, typically while on a motorway. However, many cars don't reach this stage often enough, making the DPF clogged.
Find out how to avoid DPF problems in this guide.
When do I need a professional DPF clean? This is a common question. When the filter gets clogged up with soot, a warning light will usually appear on your dashboard, indicating you need to arrange a DPF filter cleaning or replacement. Other signs include black soot coming from your exhaust and decreased fuel efficiency.
To solve this problem, you could look for a garage that will carry out a DPF clean near you or book a mobile DPF cleaning service. Find out how much it's likely to cost in this guide.
