Book a DPF DeleteWhat Is a DPF Delete?
A DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) delete disables the filter function in your vehicle’s ECU, preventing forced regens, limp mode, and fault lights. It’s a software-only solution—no physical modifications needed.
Normally the filter traps soot and runs regeneration cycles to burn it off. When it clogs, you’ll see warning lights, reduced power, or even a “no-start” situation. Our delete process rewrites the ECU so it no longer looks for the DPF, giving you smooth driving again with no regen cycles.
When to Consider a DPF Delete
- 🛑 Repeated forced regens causing downtime
- ⚠️ “DPF blocked” warning lights or limp mode
- 🚚 Commercial vans used off-road or in dusty environments
- 💸 Expensive filter replacements (£1,000+)
- ⏱️ Avoid short-trip regen failures that clog filters again
Many Leicester drivers call us after spending hundreds on cleaning or forced regens, only for the warning to return a week later. A delete can be the most reliable option if the vehicle is used for export, off-road or private land use where emissions compliance isn’t required.

Legality of DPF Delete in the UK
DPF delete is not legal for road-going vehicles used on UK highways. It is suitable only for off-road, motorsport, export or non-UK registered vehicles. Drivers are responsible for ensuring they comply with local MOT and emissions laws.
If you’re running agricultural machinery, plant equipment, or export vans that will never see UK roads, DPF delete can save thousands in repair costs. Always check your intended use before booking.

How long does a DPF delete take?
Most jobs take under one hour. We connect to the ECU, apply the software change, and test drive to confirm all warnings are cleared.
Can a DPF delete be reversed?
Yes, we keep a secure backup of your factory ECU file. If you need the DPF re-enabled, we can restore it at any time.
Will my van pass MOT with a DPF delete?
