• Skoda Octavia - VAG PD Engines 10 Nov 2022 (Forum)
  Whilst searching for a replacement for my Audi A4 PD Tdi 130 I noticed that the Octavia fitted the PD engine without a DPF right until 2008. But power output of the Octavia is limited to 105 and the engine seems harsher and noisier than my Audi. I remember speaking to taxi drivers

  at one locally but the only concern i have is that the internet is rife with tales of DPF issues with the renault engine.

• Farewell chug a chug Diesels - you served us well. 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  wheels. Pity about the smoke. That said. Where did the era start to end? DPF seems like the final knock on the head for the true general purpose diesel - but before that. Rubber bonded flywheels, `electronics` on the fuel system, sensors, cats, EGR.. Some well known ruster manufacturers didn`t help

  run the risk of the DPF issues that seem to be prevalent among the cars travelling shorter distances. I mostly do short trips of say, 15 miles or so but also the odd longer trip of 75 miles maybe once per month( inc 30 miles of motorway).

  I want to buy a new Mercedes E Class estate. However, I live in London and will be using it around town and rarely on a long trip. I am aware diesels need to go on a run every so often to clean out the DPF. I have considered a 250CGI but I know it will be underpowered. I had
