  In the market for a 2006-2008 S-Max 2.0 TDCi, my mileage/journeys justifies a diesel and I know the Ford DPFs are no too troublesome, but I would still prefer to avoid a DPF car if the choice is there, anyone have any definitive idea of which ones do/don't?

  When test driving a 2009 Freelander diesel, the dealer assured me that this age of Freelander (registered March 2009) did not have a DPF and that they were only fitted to more recent versions. Is this true, and if so, when were DPFs introduced on the Freelander, and how can I know for sure

  I've got a new Mondeo 2.0 TDCi coming soon, according to the brochure it has a DPF. Does anyone with one of these, or a related car, have any tips on DPF regen? I know it should do it under "normal" driving conditions, but I've seen a few horror stories from the VAG forums about the PD170 diesel

  to speed. Since I don't usually get servicing done at Volvo dealers, I asked if there was an Eolys tank, a DPF, what were the replacement intervals etc. To start off with, the Eolys tank hadn't been checked during the service, so that was €90 for VO 1161752 additive, plus the labour cost

  From February 2014 a visual inspection of the vehicles DPF will be included in the MOT ! so for those that have removed it , you may have an issue. It will all be down to interpretation of the MOT tester and their is no physical test although interestingly enough there is a road
• Mazda 5 - Mazda DPF oil return to sump 8 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  I have a Mazda 5 which has a DPF on it.  I understand that during the regen process diesel is added to the DPF filter and this assists with the process.  Should the engine be switched off mid way through the process it dumps the diesel into the oil sump. I know I have seen some

  and that it needs replacing at a cost of over £1000. When the car went in for the new injector there was nothing discernibly wrong with the DPF. Ford won?t touch it because it?s out of warranty. I?m suggesting that the catastrophic failure is as a result of the faulty injectors that were fitted. Roll
