Is there an alternative to replacing my Fiat Sedici's DPF?
Arnold Clark has confirmed that a new Diesel Particulate Filter for my Fiat Sedici 1.9 Multijet diesel will cost £3300, plus fitting. Is it cast in gold? What are your thoughts on a DPF being professionally cleaned such as by the DPF Clean Team, as an alternative to replacement?

www.ceramex.com has developed a process for cleaning DPFs for trucks that can restore 95 per cent efficiency. It might work for your car.
