Expert Holden DPF cleaning
The diesel particulate filter on your Holden — fitted with the Duramax diesel engine — captures soot from the exhaust and burns it off during regeneration. Holden Colorado diesels often need a DPF clean after years of stop-start driving. When the filter blocks, you'll often see a warning light, lose power, use more fuel, or drop into limp mode.
Rather than replacing an expensive factory part, our off-car cleaning process removes the trapped soot and ash and restores your Holden DPF to near-original flow — for a fraction of the cost.
Common signs on your Holden
Holden Colorados share their Duramax diesel with the Chevrolet version, and years of weekday commuting followed by weekend towing is a classic combination for a heavily ash-loaded filter by the time it hits 100,000km.
A blocked filter on this engine family can trigger fault codes such as P2002, P244A — both indicate the DPF needs attention rather than a new part.
