  different and a bit more dieselly / "boomier" for a short time afterwards. It was all fine and as normal on the journey home. I'm wondering if the ECU ordered a DPF regeneration, and the stutter / new exhaust note was due to the regen happening.

• All modern cars - DAB Radios and No CD players 11 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  So this is progress ! DAB car radios , I have found have inferior sound to FM and most importantly constantly lose signal. The loss of a multi change CD player is also sadly missed. Electric handbrakes come next on my list of pet hates along with DPF shananagin s now on petrol as well as diesel

• VW Polo Bluemotion - diesel particulatefilter cleaner 2 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Hi All, when I bought my VW Polo Bluemotion I did frequent short tips for the first few weeks and did get the DPF light several times. I have since gone on to a long commute and it's all fine now, but I may at some point move closer and am a bit worried that say 30 min trips (mainly

  I have had this car for three years and like it. However, I have had some problems recently - a new ABS sensor (£450) and seemingly random EMS lights. It has done 37k miles. I am wodering about a change to a similar size of car. If I went for the 1.8 petrol I would avoid the DPF issues I

• Silly speed limit increments 3 May 2009 (Forum)
  as a '68 Charger or chug along in third and budget for a new DPF every few weeks? Why not 25mph? While we're at it, why not have 35mph, 45mph and 55mph (35 being a sensible urban speed that doesn't make you feel like you're standing still) and 55 instead of 50 will be better for fuel economy

  , are they likely to have DPF problems. I believe all new cars there now conform to Euro 4. I have posted this question on “The largest motoring forum in the Philippines” but gassing on forums doesn’t seem to be much of a thing over there. You can almost see the tumbleweed blowing through most forums, so I’m
