DPF Cleaning & Repair
DPF Filter Cleaning and DPF Filter Repair – Professional Solution with Warranty | FixBox DPF Service
DPF filter cleaning and professional DPF filter repair are the specialty of FixBox DPF service in Sarajevo. FixBox d.o.o. is a workshop specialised in diagnostics and in solving every DPF system problem on all categories of vehicles, with a warranty. Our DPF cleaning is carried out on a unique machine in the region that does not damage the DPF filter honeycomb core.
Machine DPF cleaning without damaging the filter
Unlike classic water-based DPF washing systems, which can cause erosion of the ceramic and remove precious metals from the DPF, our system uses controlled high temperature and a strong airflow. The DPF regeneration process runs under strictly controlled conditions:
- high temperature to burn off the soot,
- high airflow to remove the ash,
- intelligent control of the DPF cleaning process.
This method removes up to 99% of soot and ash from the DPF filter without damaging its structure. Every customer receives:
- before-and-after photos of the DPF filter,
- back-pressure measurement of the DPF before and after the process,
- a warranty on the DPF cleaning carried out.
DPF filter repair (GPF, CAT, SCR)
Professional DPF filter repair allows the system to keep working for a long time without the need for an expensive replacement of the entire DPF filter.
If the DPF filter is mechanically damaged, cracked, melted or worn out, we offer professional DPF filter repair by fitting a new, high-quality honeycomb core. More: DPF filter repair.
We provide a warranty on the repaired DPF filter. We also repair CAT, GPF and SCR cores for all types of vehicles.
With a repair you effectively get a new DPF filter which, with proper maintenance and correct engine operation, can last at least 200,000 km.
Our customers also come from Germany, Austria and Slovenia for quality and affordable DPF filter cleaning and repair in Sarajevo.
If the DPF was previously removed (deleted) and deactivated in software, we can perform:
- refitting a high-quality DPF filter,
- restoring the factory function of the DPF system,
- software reactivation of the system,
- complete calibration and testing of the system,
- passes TÜV without problems.
The vehicle is returned to full factory condition in line with environmental standards.
DPF filter cleaning on the vehicle
When diagnostics show that the DPF filter is only slightly clogged, we clean the DPF directly on the vehicle without removing it. We use our own branded chemistry from the German chemical industry. This DPF cleaning method is ideal for preventive maintenance and mild DPF clogging.
- no DPF removal,
- shorter service time,
- a safe procedure without damaging the DPF core.
