Your car is more than just a machine. It takes you places, keeps you safe, and is essential to your daily routine. When something goes wrong, you want to fix it fast. This is where mobile car diagnostics can help. In this blog, we’ll explain why you should consider this service for your next vehicle check-up.
As a car owner, you may know that your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) needs regular care to keep your engine running smoothly. When the DPF gets clogged, it can cause your engine to perform poorly and even lead to costly repairs.
A mobile diagnostic assessment of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) was conducted on a 2016 Land Rover Evoque 2.0 HSE TD4 equipped with the Ingenium engine. The findings from Crell Auto's mobile DPF diagnostics indicated fault codes: P2463-00, which signifies diesel particulate filter restriction due to soot accumulation in bank 1; P2BAE-00, indicating NOx exceedance within the NOx control monitoring system; P2BAE-02, also related to NOx exceedance; and P246B, which denotes that the vehicle conditions were not suitable for DPF regeneration. Additionally, we identified minor concerns regarding oil dilution, the condition of the air filter, engine servicing, and driving habits. We successfully performed the DPF cleaning procedure, which resolved all identified error codes. A comprehensive fuel system cleaner was added to the fuel tank, and the customer was advised on necessary measures to prevent future DPF-related issues.

Crell Auto received a call regarding a DPF issue in a 2016 Peugeot 308 Allure 1.6 HDi. After conducting a comprehensive diagnostic and fault-finding service, we uncovered the following error codes: P2463, which indicates an overload of the particle filter; P246C, which points to a clogged particle filter; and P246C again, indicating a blocked particle filter, all recorded in a permanent state. Upon closer inspection, we determined that the diesel particulate filter was damaged. It is imperative that you do not permit any garage or mechanic to carry out a forced regeneration on your vehicle. Without proper diagnostics of the pressure within the DPF, you may risk incurring substantial costs for replacement due to potential damage. You can be confident that Crell Auto will accurately diagnose and repair any issues related to your DPF filter. Please take a moment to visit our mobile DPF cleaning page.
A mobile service was conducted on a 2014 Honda CR-V diesel, which revealed the following error codes following Crell Auto's diagnostics of the diesel particulate filter: P109A indicating oil dilution and P24A4 signifying excessive PM accumulation. During the inspection, a split pipe was identified as a contributing factor to the DPF issues, alongside the oil dilution that necessitated an oil change for resolution. The particulate filter was cleaned on-site using a premium chemical solution that effectively restored its functionality. The customer chose to address the split pipe independently, while Crell Auto provided a temporary repair. The service requirements were ultimately fulfilled by the customer.

A Citroen C4 1.6 E-hdi VTR Plus was reported with three fault codes related to the diesel particulate filter: P2463 for overload, P246C for clogging, and P24A4 for blockage. Crell Auto diagnosed the DPF issue, fixed the fault, and used the correct cleaning chemicals. We made sure to handle the pressure carefully, as forcing a regeneration can lead to DPF damage if the pressure is excessive, allowing us to successfully restore the filter's performance.

If you drive a diesel vehicle, you're probably familiar with the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). This important part traps harmful particles and reduces pollution. Over time, it can get clogged with soot and carbon, affecting performance. Fortunately, Mobile DPF Cleaning provides an easy fix.
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a device that captures and removes pollution from the exhaust emissions of diesel engines. When it comes to diesel particulate filters, or DPFs, you might find yourself in one of two scenarios: either you’ve never heard of them and have no idea if your car even has one, or you’re all too familiar with how expensive they can be when things go wrong. Think of a DPF as an angel sent to watch over your engine, silently working behind the scenes to keep the air cleaner and your ride smoother. But like any good guardian, it needs a little care to stay in top shape.
A worried customer reached out to Crell Auto after experiencing a breakdown on their way to a planned holiday. We promptly responded to their call to assess the situation with their Mitsubishi Outlander GX3 2.32 DI. Upon opening the bonnet, we discovered a split intercooler pipe. We applied a temporary fix to the split and introduced two doses of chemical into the diesel particulate filter to clear the blockage. The error codes we found were P1498 for DPF overloading and P2454 indicating a low differential pressure sensor for the DPF/GPF. We ordered a replacement intercooler pipe, which was installed the following week. Thanks to Crell Auto, a customer's holiday was saved!
A valued customer reached out to Crell Auto regarding a warning message that appeared on their screen, indicating that the particle filter additive level was too low. We promptly provided the correct PAT fluid, topped it up, and completed a programming process to restore the additive level, successfully eliminating the warning message. If you need this service, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
A diagnostic and troubleshooting service was performed, revealing the following error codes: P25A9-13, indicating a permanent fault in the piston cooling oil jet solenoid control due to an open circuit. Additionally, there was a P049B code for insufficient flow detected in the exhaust gas recirculation system, which was noted as an intermittent issue. The customer scheduled an appointment at a garage to address the P25A9 problem. During a second diagnostic scan, the P049B EGR error did not reappear. The B1087-87 code related to the driver's side door actuator, a common issue, was successfully fixed by Crell Auto through a simple actuator replacement.
Another DPF cleaning triumph for CrellAuto! After diagnosing 4 faulty glow plugs and replacing, addressing other minor issues, and performing a chemical cleaning to reduce pressure levels in the diesel particle filter, power has been restored. The oil dilution fault was resolved with a full service by CrellAuto. Check out our DPF cleaning page.
