Don't ignore the signs on your dashboard.

If your car has lost power, the engine light came on, or it entered safe mode, the filtration system or electronic management has reached its limit.

The risk of continuing to drive:

  • Irreversible damage to the Particulate Filter
  • Engine oil contamination (risk of failure)
  • Immediate MOT failure

Don't look for generic solutions online. Each electronic system is a specific case.

Ask via WhatsApp
What is the warranty and efficiency of your services?

All our services are carried out with state-of-the-art professional equipment and certified products. After each intervention, we validate the result with a complete diagnostic to ensure the problem has been effectively resolved. The efficiency of our treatments is proven — in the vast majority of cases, customers leave with their vehicle fully recovered on the same day. If you have any questions after the service, we are always available for follow-up. Schedule your free diagnostic →

How much does the cleaning service cost?

The cost varies depending on the type of service, the condition of the component and the vehicle model — each case is different. It would not be professional to quote a fixed price without first evaluating your car. That's why we offer a free, no-obligation diagnostic: we analyse the vehicle, explain exactly what it needs, and only then present the quote. This way, you only pay for what you actually need. Schedule your free diagnostic →

What is the difference between cleaning and replacing the Particulate Filter?

Cleaning removes accumulated deposits from the existing filter, restoring gas flow without needing to replace the part. It's a faster, more economical process that preserves the vehicle's original component. Replacement involves buying a new filter — which can cost between €800 and €3,000 — and is not always necessary. In most cases, professional cleaning solves the problem effectively and durably.

What is the Particulate Filter (DPF/FAP) and when does it need cleaning?

The DPF captures soot particles from diesel exhaust gases. Over time, especially on short urban journeys, it accumulates residues that block flow, causing warning lights, safe mode and increased consumption. Cleaning is recommended when automatic regeneration stops working properly.

What is the EGR valve and why does it clog?

The EGR valve recirculates part of the exhaust gases back to the engine to reduce NOx emissions. With use, it accumulates carbon deposits that partially or totally block it, causing power loss, smoking and irregular consumption. Cleaning avoids the costly replacement of the part.

What happens when the AdBlue system fails?

AdBlue is injected into the exhaust to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. When the system fails — due to crystallization, faulty sensor or broken pump — the vehicle enters safe mode with a countdown mileage counter. Without intervention, the vehicle can be completely immobilized.

Is the diagnostic really free?

Yes, completely free and with no obligation. We analyse the vehicle with professional diagnostic equipment and present the available options. We only proceed with treatment if it's the best solution for your case — and with your agreement.

Do you service all car brands?

Yes — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Opel, Ford, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Seat, Skoda and many more. Our equipment and software covers the vast majority of European and Asian makes and models.

Can I buy SphereTech products without having a service?

Yes. We are official SphereTech Europe distributors in Portugal and products are available for direct purchase at our workshop. You can also order via WhatsApp. We have additives for DPF/FAP, EGR, AdBlue, injectors, oil circuit and much more.

Free technical assessment
with no obligation.

Each vehicle is a unique case. To ensure the correct solution and a fair price, we always carry out a prior diagnostic. We don't give fixed quotes without validating the mechanical condition of the engine and aftertreatment systems.
