❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► What causes GPF blockages in Markyate?

With most local trips staying under a few miles between Markyate and neighbouring Harpenden or Luton, exhaust temperatures rarely climb high enough. 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. 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 long does a mobile GPF clean take in Markyate?

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.
