❓ Frequently Asked Questions

► Why do so many petrol cars in Welwyn Garden City develop blocked GPFs?

Welwyn Garden City's roundabout-heavy layout and short trips to Hatfield, Hertford or Stevenage keep speeds low and inconsistent. Without sustained high exhaust heat, a petrol GDI engine can't burn off the soot that builds up in the GPF.

► Is a blocked GPF an automatic MOT failure in Welwyn Garden City?

Yes — a blocked or faulty GPF causes an automatic MOT failure. A mobile clean is generally £150–£350, considerably cheaper than the £800–£2,500+ needed for a full replacement.

► How long does a mobile clean take for a Welwyn Garden City visit?

Typically 60–90 minutes. We run an OBD diagnostic first to confirm the blockage, complete the clean on-site, and verify it's cleared with a follow-up scan before we go.
