Originally wanted a dpf clean but after speaking with Adrian, he recommended a carbon clean of my 2014 Mercedes sprinter. Turned up on time and with all the kit. Job done within the hour with some issues identified (new thermostat needed being chief). Almost immediately, my van runs smoother and quieter. Very happy with the results and equally with Adrian's no nonsense knowledge of the task and professionalism. Would definitely recommend you speak to him before anyone else.

From 55mpg to 72mpg! Perfect service couldn’t ask for more, the car runs smoother than ever, start to finish was given clear honest advice and help. Booked the carbon clean and diagnostic was kept in the loop with everything and given a detailed report of everything, really clear communication throughout. Would highly recommend.

5-star advice from Adrian at F5ECC. He provided some brilliant free advice and instead of just trying to sell me a service, he gave me some incredible technical insights for my Audi A3 that saved me from a costly and unnecessary repair. He clearly knows these diesel engines inside out and is a total professional who puts the customer first. When I eventually do need a carbon/DPF clean, he’ll be the only person I call. Highly recommended.

Adrian came to a carbon clean on 2 vehicles . Kia Sportage 1.6 crdi and a Mercedes A200 diesell 2.1. Kia was having no issues just was a regular clean as I have used Adrian for several vehicles and understand the benefits of a clean. Again I noticed better performance and start up. Mercedes had starting issues and inconsistent running. After the clean it was more responsive , noise from the exhaust valve seems to go a way and not present anymore . So a better running Mercedes also. To be clear the Mercedes when warm would bit and not restart so definitely improved performance and start up issues. Thank you . See you in the summer for the Renault Clio clean .

I had my 2016 Ford S‑Max 2.0 TDCi carbon cleaned, and the difference has been impressive. My average MPG has gone from around 41 to 45, which I honestly didn’t expect, but the improvement is real. The engine also feels a touch smoother on acceleration, especially when pulling away or overtaking.

Professional service, clear communication, and results that genuinely make a difference. Highly recommended.

Was fully prepared to be told my car was ready for the scrap heap... but instead these guys turned up, looked at my DPF and actually gave me straight answers!
Incredibly helpful and explained everything to me in jargon that I understood
The dog was very vocal and wanted to be in on the conversation and got a treat from them ????
Lovely guys, definitely recommend. Thanks so much

Professional DPF Cleaning Services You Can Trust in Derby?

Why Choose F5ECC?

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a vital emissions component on modern diesel vehicles. It captures soot and particulate matter produced during combustion, preventing harmful emissions from entering the atmosphere.

Over time, soot, oil residue and ash build up inside the DPF. When this happens, the filter can no longer regenerate effectively, leading to warning lights, reduced performance and potential MOT failure.

Our DPF services in Derby are designed to safely remove build-up, restore exhaust flow and return the DPF to correct working condition where suitable.
