  !) the garage have now said that the engine won't start at all and that the DPF is blocked which is what caused the cambelt failure.  Is this likely?  The cost for fixing the DPF problem is quoted at approx. £1500 (on top of circa £1000 for work already done).  I've now lost faith

• Ford C-MAX - Particulate Filters 16 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  ?   Will my car pass an MOT without a DPF? Yes!! There is no legal requirement to have a DPF fitted, so it is not required to pass a test. It does NOT affect the emissions, not that there is currently an emissions test on a Diesel in the UK anyway

• VW Golf MK5 TDi's and DPF???? 1 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Hello All, I thought buying some oil for the Golf (GT TDi 140) was going to be straight forward until I learned that it depends on whether the car is fitted with a DPF or not? D.P.F = Diesel Particulate Filter. I've scanned the user manuals intensely and cannot find any information to state
• Ford Focus Titanium Estate Td 109 (2008) - DPF Fault 7 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  I need a new DPF & sensor. Might the DPF/sensor have been the problem all along & I didn't need a new turbo?  Is this the type of problem that's difficult to accurately diagnose, or could all these different parts have become separately  faulty in a short space of time
• Vauxhall insignia - DPF 4 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  Particulate Filter (DPF) is fitted to this vehicle, and agree to take the following actions. I understand that if the vehicle is used for numerous low mileage journeys with frequent stop/starts, the DPF may need to be regenerated. If regeneration is required, a warning light will appear on the dashboard

  Hi all, I currently have a 2007 Mazda 5 2.0 diesel which I am planning on replacing with either a Zafira tourer or Ford S-Max. One thing I have never liked about my Mazda is the fact that it dumps un-burnt fuel from failed DPF regens into the oil sump.  Does anyone know
• Volkswagen Touareg 2.5 Date 2009. - Diesel particulate Filter 8 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  has said it is the DPF and it needs replacing at £2500!! I am doubtful of the diagnosis because the DPF light has not come on, and the "engine block" warning came on after several hours at high motorway speeds when i would expect the DPF to clear itself not clog up, and the mileage is only 45000
