❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► What causes GPF blockages in Harpenden?

Commuters in Harpenden tend to make frequent short trips toward Wheathampstead and St Albans rather than sustained motorway runs. 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.

► Does a blocked GPF fail the MOT?

Yes — a lit GPF or emissions warning light is an automatic MOT failure. A professional clean typically costs £150–£350, well below the £800–£2,500+ needed for a replacement filter.

► How long will my Harpenden GPF clean take?

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