DPF forced regen and oven cleaning for your Sprinter restores a clogged diesel particulate filter that saps power and triggers limp mode, a common headache on short-hop delivery vans. We command a forced regen with Xentry when the filter can still recover, and for heavy soot and ash loading we pull the DPF for oven and flow cleaning, then reset the ash counter.


## What this includes
- Xentry soot and ash load read plus DPF status
- Commanded forced regeneration when the filter can recover
- DPF removal for oven and flow cleaning on heavy loading
- Ash counter reset after cleaning
- Inspection of the pressure and temperature sensors
- Check of what is driving repeated regens
- Post-service scan and road test

## Who it is for
- The DPF warning is on and power is limited
- Short Riverside routes keep the filter from a full regen
- Soot or ash loading is too high to regen on its own
- The van fell into limp mode from a blocked filter

## Pricing
Mechanical labor runs $260 per hour; a forced regen versus removal and oven cleaning sets the range, all set in writing after inspection.

## FAQ
### What is a forced regen?
We command the engine with Xentry to raise exhaust temperature and burn off DPF soot while the filter can still recover, which clears the warning without removing parts.

### When does the DPF need oven cleaning?
When soot and ash loading is too high to regen, or the filter is blocked, we remove it for oven and flow cleaning, then reset the ash counter.

### Why does my DPF keep clogging?
Short Riverside routes keep the filter from reaching regen temperature. Repeated clogs can also point to an EGR, injector, or sensor issue, which we check.

### Can a blocked DPF cause limp mode?
Yes. A heavily loaded filter chokes exhaust flow and drops the van into limp mode. Cleaning it and fixing the cause restores power.
