❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► What causes GPF blockages in Portswood?

Most driving in and around Portswood is short local trips toward Southampton city centre and Highfield, which rarely give the engine the sustained running needed to reach the temperatures required for the GPF to self-clean. Soot deposits build gradually until the filter restricts exhaust flow.

► Can a blocked GPF fail my MOT?

Yes — a lit GPF or engine management warning light is an automatic fail under current MOT rules. Cleaning typically costs £150–£350, considerably less than a replacement filter at £800–£2,500+.

► How long will my GPF clean take at my Portswood address?

Most cleans are completed in 60–90 minutes at your Portswood address. We start with a full OBD diagnostic, clean the filter, then confirm the fault has cleared before we finish.
