[How can I replace/clean a blocked DPF for less than £2.5k please?]

Thanks all.  Local garage have just told me they've managed to clean it and it's now working fine - for £205.  Have a long journey to do this Friday, so that will be the test!

 

Cheers

[How can I replace/clean a blocked DPF for less than £2.5k please?]

Hi

 

Single mum just about to buy a new house - so completely broke - just took my beloved 2006 Skoda Octavia VRS into the main dealer in limp mode with DPF light showing.  Main dealer has just called to advise the DPF is overfilled and only option for them as a main dealer is to replace - £2500 all in.

 

Needless to say, I don't have that kind of money.  It's also high mileage (around 140k I think).

 

He did say there would be options for a specialist person to clean it, or a non-main dealer to replace it.  I'm based in Thame, Oxfordshire but have only just moved to the area and have no clue where to start.

 

Any recommendations for how to get this back on the road for less than £2.5k gratefully received!

 

Cheers

 

Claire.
