WHAT IS DPF & Engine Carbon CLEANING & WHY YOUR DIESEL NEEDS IT

Your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an emissions control device that captures and stores soot from your diesel engine’s exhaust. Over time, this soot accumulates and must be burned off through a process called “regeneration.” When carbon buildup prevents proper regeneration, your DPF becomes blocked – triggering warning lights, limp mode, and potentially costly replacement.

Our mobile DPF & Engine Carbon Cleaning service uses a 2 part chemical clean & flush carbon removal technology to clear blocked diesel particulate filters without removal or replacement. We come to your location across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, and surrounding areas – restoring your DPF function and eliminating warning lights.

Common DPF Problems We Solve:

  • DPF warning light illuminated – Soot level exceeds normal operating range
  • DPF full / filter blocked messages – Regeneration unable to clear buildup
  • Limp mode / reduced power – ECU protecting engine from damage
  • Failed regeneration attempts – DPF too blocked for automatic cleaning
  • Excessive fuel consumption – Engine attempting continuous regeneration
  • Black smoke from exhaust – Incomplete combustion due to restricted exhaust flow


We’re fully mobile and service Springwood — call 0415 181 836 to check availability.

Our Mobile DPF & Engine Carbon Cleaning Process - Springwood

Unlike traditional methods that require DPF removal and oven cleaning (costing $800-$1,200), our mobile DPF cleaning service uses a 2 part chemical clean & flush carbon removal technology performed on-vehicle at your location:

Step 1: Diagnostic Assessment

We connect professional diagnostic equipment to read DPF soot levels, regeneration history, and system fault codes. This tells us exactly what’s causing your DPF blockage.

Step 2: Chemical DPF Cleaning

We introduce a 2 part chemical Clean & Flush System to your DPF to help dissolve carbon build-up. Once carbon is reduced, the DPF pressure returns to tolerable conditions.

Step 3: Forced Regeneration

With carbon and pressure reduced, we initiate a forced DPF regeneration using diagnostic software. This completes the cleaning cycle and verifies the filter is functioning correctly.

Step 4: System Reset & Verification

We clear fault codes, reset DPF counters, and verify normal operation. Your vehicle returns to full power with the DPF warning light extinguished.


Total time:
60-90 minutes at your Springwood location.

No DPF removal required. No oven cleaning needed. No expensive replacement parts.

WHY CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL DPF CLEANING OVER REPLACEMENT - Springwood

Save $2,000-$4,000 in Replacement Costs

A new DPF costs $1,500–$3,000 for parts plus $500–$1,000 labor. Our cleaning service ranges from $250 to $600 depending on severity, saving you significant costs.

Faster Than Workshop Removal

Workshop DPF removal and cleaning can take days. We complete the job mobile at your location, typically within a few hours.

Environmentally Responsible

Cleaning and reusing your existing DPF is more sustainable than manufacturing and disposing of replacement filters.

Prevents Turbo & Engine Damage

Blocked DPFs create excessive exhaust back-pressure, potentially damaging turbos and engines. Early cleaning intervention helps prevent costly failures.

Restores Fuel Economy

Cleaning your DPF may improve fuel economy by reducing constant regeneration attempts and restoring proper exhaust flow.

What Engine Decarbonisation Does For Your Vehicle

Helps Reduce DPF Blockages
Can help clear carbon from diesel particulate filters (DPF), reduce warning lights and potentially prevent costly repairs.

May Improve Fuel Economy
Clean engines often burn fuel more efficiently, which may reduce consumption and save money at the pump (results vary).

Supports Engine Power Restoration
Helps remove carbon deposits that restrict airflow and combustion, improving horsepower and acceleration.

May Reduce Flat Spots
Can help reduce buildup from intake valves and injectors, smoothing power delivery.

Assists in Torque Improvement
Supports engine torque restoration for better towing and hill-climbing performance.

Helps Reduce Repair Risks
Regular engine carbon removal can help lower the risk of costly failures like seized EGR valves, turbo failure, and engine damage.

Signs Your Engine Has Carbon Buildup

Is your vehicle showing any of these symptoms? You may need professional engine carbon cleaning:

  • DPF warning light illuminated – Carbon buildup can prevent proper filter regeneration
  • Black smoke from exhaust – Caused by incomplete combustion due to deposits
  • Poor fuel economy – Often linked to inefficient combustion from carbon buildup
  • Loss of power or acceleration – Carbon restricting airflow and compression
  • Rough idle or flat spots – Deposits affecting fuel delivery and timing
  • Failed emissions test – High emissions caused by excess carbon
  • Turbo lag or whistle – Carbon buildup affecting turbocharger operation
  • Engine warning lights – Sensors detecting performance issues caused by carbon

Don’t wait until buildup causes costly damage. Our mobile engine carbon cleaning service can help restore your engine’s performance before major problems occur.

DPF Cleaning FAQ – Springwood

What is engine carbon cleaning?

Engine carbon cleaning, also known as engine decarbonisation, is a process that removes carbon deposits from your engine’s internal parts using advanced hydrogen technology. Over time, carbon naturally accumulates on intake valves, pistons, combustion chambers, diesel particulate filters (DPF), and turbochargers, which can reduce engine performance and efficiency. Our mobile engine carbon cleaning service safely introduces hydrogen gas into your engine to burn away these deposits without any disassembly, helping to restore your vehicle’s performance and smooth running.

How does hydrogen engine carbon removal work?

Our hydrogen engine carbon cleaning system produces HHO gas (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen) which is introduced into your engine’s air intake while the engine is running. The hydrogen combusts at a higher temperature than regular fuel, breaking down carbon deposits and allowing them to safely exit through the exhaust. This process cleans the entire intake tract, combustion chamber, valves, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, and turbocharger — all without the need to dismantle your engine.

How long does mobile engine carbon cleaning take?

Most mobile engine carbon cleaning services take between 45 and 90 minutes depending on your vehicle and the severity of carbon buildup. Diesel engines with DPF systems generally require 60 to 75 minutes, while petrol engines typically take 45 to 60 minutes. The entire service is performed at your location — whether at home, work, or anywhere within our 100 km service radius of Crestmead.

Do you service my area?

Yes! We provide mobile engine carbon removal services throughout Brisbane and South East Queensland. Our service area extends from North Lakes to the Gold Coast, and from Ipswich to Redland Bay, covering a 100 km radius from Crestmead. If you’re unsure whether we service your suburb, simply call 0415 181 836 and we’ll confirm availability.

What vehicles can you perform engine carbon cleaning on?

We service all diesel, petrol, and hybrid vehicles including cars, 4WDs, utes, vans, motorcycles, and boats. Our engine decarbonisation process is safe for all engine types and is particularly effective for:

  • Diesel vehicles with DPF systems
  • Turbocharged engines
  • Direct-injection petrol engines
  • High-mileage vehicles (80,000+ km)
  • Commercial and fleet vehicles
  • Performance vehicles
How often should I get engine decarbonisation?

For diesel vehicles with DPF systems, we recommend engine carbon cleaning every 50,000–80,000 km or whenever you notice symptoms like DPF warning lights or reduced performance. Petrol vehicles typically benefit from carbon removal every 80,000–100,000 km. Vehicles primarily driven in city traffic or on short trips may require more frequent cleaning due to faster carbon buildup.

Will engine carbon removal fix my DPF light?

In most cases, yes. If your DPF warning light is caused by carbon blockage — the most common cause — our 2 part chemical & Flush system along with hydrogen engine carbon cleaning helps clear those deposits and allows your DPF to regenerate properly. However, if your DPF is physically damaged or has reached end-of-life, cleaning may not resolve the issue. We’ll diagnose your situation and provide honest advice before starting the service.

Is hydrogen carbon cleaning safe for my engine?

Absolutely. Hydrogen engine carbon removal is a proven, safe technology used globally by dealerships and professional workshops. Unlike chemical cleaners or manual cleaning that require engine disassembly, our HHO process cleans while the engine runs at normal operating temperature, removing carbon gently without stress or wear on components. Millions of vehicles worldwide have safely undergone this process.

What's included in the different service stages?

We offer four stages of cleaning to match your vehicle’s needs:

  • Stage 1 ($250): Standard Hydrogen decarbonisation with diagnostic scan + fuel additive treatment mainly for Petrol engines (60 minutes)
  • Stage 2 ($300): EGR -Throttle Body Spray cleaner + Standard decarbonisation with diagnostic scan + fuel additive treatment (60+ minutes)
  • Stage 3 ($450): Basic  DPF Clean + diagnostic scan (60 minutes)
  • Stage 3 ($600): DPF Clean + Standard decarbonisation with diagnostic scan + EGR -Throttle Body Spray cleaner + fuel additive treatment- ideal for most diesel vehicles (60+ minutes)
  • Stage 4 ($600): Intake Clean + EGR -Throttle Body Spray cleaner + Standard decarbonisation with diagnostic scan + fuel additive treatment  – recommended for severe build-up (100+ minutes)
How much does mobile engine carbon cleaning cost?

Our service starts at $250 for basic decarbonisation. Most diesel vehicles with DPF systems require Stage 3 ($600) which includes comprehensive engine and DPF cleaning plus diagnostic scanning. We assess each vehicle carefully and recommend appropriate service levels – no unnecessary upselling.
