Should I get my DPF cleaned?
Discussion
Car is a 2011 530d. 144k miles. The car is regularly serviced by BMW independent.
Mainly used for longer journeys, not many short town trips. Car is healthy and at the last service the BMW independent said it drove very well.
Using the Carly scanner it tells me the DPF is in a bad way and getting close to being blocked.
No warning lights showing.
Exhaust is sooty on the tailpipe.
No mpg issues. No performance issues.
Carly readings are 5.25g soot. 46.86 g ash.
A local mobile DPF cleaning service has loads of positive reviews. Should I get it cleaned or keep the money in the
bank. If it ain't broke don't fix it?
