Citroen C3 -1.6 HDi 90 engine - DPF matters - davidindevon

I have been told that this engine has the option of NOT having a DPF. Can any of you good folk tell me if this is so as I have looked at the Citroen website but to no avail. Many thanks.

If it was registered after 01 January 2011 it will 100% have a dpf since after that date ALL diesels had to be fitted with under the Euro5 regulations which became law on that date.

Before that it could vary, if they complied with Euro 4 without a dpf a manufacturer would be unlikely to fit one (extra cost).

From memory the 90 bhp 1.6 did not need a dpf wheras the 110 engine did.

Its only the pre '95, 2.0, 8 valve engines that don't have a DPF either in the 90 or 110 BHP mode, and they didn't use those in the C3 I don't believe.
