• Large Family Estate Recommendations 16 May 2013 (Forum)
  years old with max of 60,000 on the clock. I was looking at either a Mazda 6 or Mondeo diesel but I'm concerned about the DPF. Although I do around 12,000 miles per year. My daily commute is only 4.5 miles extended to 9 miles if a school/nursery drop off is involved. Am I right to be concerned

• VAG - Exhaust Manifold in Cylinder Head 29 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  Do you know if VAG has started to adopt the "Manifold in Head" technology that other makers (GM, Renault) have used to good effect in attempting to eliminate DPF problems in their diesel engines?

• Any - How long does an exhaust pipe last? 7 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  for 18 years. Have had both petrol and diesel cars (pre DPF, with a nice lining of soot in the exhaust and with DPFs) and in perhaps 350,000 miles over that 30 odd years, aside from one exhaust for the Figaro, I’ve never replaced any exhaust components, even on cars that I’ve run for longer than 10

  .  I have only had the car about 6 weeks, and it's just started doing it the last few days. I've read some posts that suggest this might be the DPF regenerating.  This has however happened for the last 3 or 4 consecutive days, at both ends of my journey to/from work (abut 17 miles, mostly
• Vauxhall Zafira - Inlet manifold 3 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  I have a Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 CDTI Sri. Apparently needs a new inlet manifold and have been quoted just shy of £1000. Does this sound right? I've just spent £900 on a new DPF and EGR valve!!
• Diesel Cars now that the price has dropped 9 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  With the drop in diesel prices at the pumps, does a diesel car make sense now in low mileage situations if a long drive once or twice per week is achieved to enable the DPF to work correctly?   Thanks!
