• Peugeot 206 1.6 hdi - DPF Replacement Question 2 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  on the glow plugs - something which I read was required for a regen on the DPF. So, my question is, could that be the reason why the DPF is reading that it needs unblocking?  Could it be such a simple thing that changing the glow plugs and allowing it to regen would solve my problem?  I'm

• DPFs - how to tell if they are working? 3 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  A curiousity based question rather than anything please. I've recently aquired a car equipped with a DPF.

  Hi I've just bought a new VW Passat with the 170 PDI diesel engine. Great car to drive, will let you know in due course if it has any of the trade-mark VW reliability problems! My understanding of the DPF is that if my driving style doesn't suit the DPF then it starts to block up. The response
• DPF....Bypass? 30 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  this, but it does go on, and i can understand why its being done. Now in my ignorance i am assuming that the large cat like bulge in the downpipe of the exhaust system of a modern DPF equipped diesel car is in fact the DPF. If its not tell me i'm a berk, everyone else does...;) If thats not the case, and its
• BMW X5, Mercedes ML, Porsche Cayenne - 4x4s with no DPF? 18 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Thinking of a used "luxury" type 4x4 as a comfortable, spacious car.  Inevitably will have to do some short town journeys. Diesel obviously offers some MPG and residual value advantages, but the risk of turbo and injector issues along with the dreaded DPF clogging. Does

• DPF-Short trips-alternative solutions 14 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  As Screwloose outlined yesterday. DPF and short trips don`t go well together. What`s the answer for those of us still running diesels without DPF? Hold on to the current car? even taking an approach that would see a major expense such as a new engine- or other several thousand pound repair
