❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► Why do so many Wantage cars end up with a blocked GPF?

The A338 through Wantage is often busy and slow-moving, and local trips to Grove, East Hendred or the surrounding villages tend to be short. Since a petrol GDI engine needs sustained exhaust temperatures above 600°C+ to clear the GPF passively, this pattern of stop-start local driving lets soot accumulate until the filter becomes restricted.

► Does a blocked GPF automatically fail the MOT in Wantage?

Yes, it does. A blocked or missing GPF is an automatic MOT failure. A professional clean typically costs £150 to £350, considerably less than the £800 to £2,500 or more you could face if the filter is left until it needs full replacement.

► How long will a mobile GPF clean take at my Wantage home?

A typical appointment takes around 60 to 90 minutes. We start with an OBD diagnostic to confirm the problem, carry out the clean, then verify the result with another diagnostic scan and clear any stored fault codes before we leave.
