❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► Why are blocked GPFs so common around Locks Heath?

As a commuter suburb, Locks Heath sees plenty of traffic, but most local journeys are short stop-start hops toward Park Gate and Warsash. Because the engine rarely reaches the temperature required for passive regeneration, soot that should burn off simply stays in the filter, and the blockage compounds with every short journey.

► Is a blocked GPF an MOT problem?

Yes. Both the visual warning-light check and the emissions readings can fail a car with a loaded GPF. Restoring the original filter avoids the £800–£2,500+ cost of a new one.

► How quickly can you clean a GPF in Locks Heath?

Allow around 60–90 minutes. Diagnostics come first so we know exactly what we're dealing with, then the clean, then a verification test before we hand the keys back.
