❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► Why does my GPF keep clogging in Folkestone?

Most local driving around Folkestone is short and low-speed — trips to Hythe, the school run, or quick errands. These stop-start conditions prevent petrol GDI engines from reaching the sustained exhaust temperatures needed for the GPF to burn off trapped soot, so deposits build up over months until the filter restricts flow.

► Can a blocked GPF stop me passing my MOT?

Yes. An illuminated GPF warning light or engine management light is an automatic MOT failure. A professional GPF clean is typically £150–£350 — far cheaper than replacement at £800–£2,500+.

► How quickly can you clean my GPF in Folkestone?

Most GPF cleans take 60–90 minutes on-site in Folkestone. We carry out a full OBD diagnostic first, clean the filter, then verify the result before we leave.
