Dude, I never heard of a dpf until I got to Europe. The van we bought last year (under warranty) has had its particle filter cleaned 3 times Now. The warranty won’t replace it since they can clean it. Biggest crock ever. If I’m not mistaken it’s almost 1200euros to replace them, but if they have to clean it again, by law, the warranty has to buy a new one or buy our van if they can’t fix it. Hoping it goes south. It’s such political garbage of taking it out on the little guy. One container ship pollutes more in a year than all of the private autos in Germany combined, yet they are hit with all these bullshit taxes, rules, and engine damaging requirements. What a crock
Exactly mate!
If mine ever fails I'm taking it off and running without it although the computer will need to be bypassed if that's the case. Can be done though. It's all bullshit...Making us have DPF's means they (governments) feel like they are doing something for the environment. Wankers.
I suppose you drive a lot in the city if you have problems with your dpf. It is such a bullshit unnecessary part that keeps the engine from actually breathing. In Romania lots of people go dpf off and they gain some horsepower on the way. You have German TUVs there and I don't know if you can pass it without one. Older cars don't have such dpfs and that's the reason they are up and running. You need to drive more on the autobahn and you won't have problems anymore. This way it cleans itself.
