❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► Why are GPFs blocking up for Sholing drivers?

The mix of local errands and short runs between Sholing and nearby Woolston or Itchen means the engine rarely stays hot for long. Without that sustained heat, trapped soot in the GPF cannot burn off, and deposits accumulate over time until the filter becomes restricted.

► Does a clogged GPF affect the MOT test?

Yes. MOT testers treat an illuminated GPF or engine warning light as an automatic failure. A professional clean usually costs £150–£350, well below the £800–£2,500+ needed for a replacement.

► What's the turnaround for a GPF clean in Sholing?

On-site cleans typically take 60–90 minutes. We run a complete OBD diagnostic beforehand, clean the GPF, and verify everything's clear before we pack up.
