❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► What's causing GPF problems for Sandgate drivers?

Most local driving around Sandgate is short and low-speed — trips to Folkestone, 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.

► Is a GPF fault an automatic MOT fail?

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 much time does an on-site GPF clean take in Sandgate?

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