❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► Why are blocked GPFs such a common problem for Carterton drivers?

Carterton's local trips along the A4095 to Witney or Bampton, along with school runs and RAF Brize Norton commuting, tend to be short and low-speed. Since a petrol GDI engine needs a sustained 600°C+ exhaust temperature for passive GPF regeneration, this pattern of driving lets soot build up steadily until the filter becomes restricted.

► What's the MOT impact of a blocked GPF for a Carterton vehicle?

A blocked or missing GPF causes an automatic MOT failure. Having it professionally cleaned costs roughly £150 to £350, considerably cheaper than the £800 to £2,500-plus needed to replace a filter that has been left too long.

► How long will a mobile GPF clean take at my Carterton address?

The full visit generally takes 60 to 90 minutes. We run an OBD diagnostic check first to confirm the issue, perform the clean, and then verify with a follow-up diagnostic scan that the GPF is clear before we finish up.
