DPF Diesel Particulate Filter

[thetrogster]

Following problems with the DPF on my 07 2.0TDi Passat. The filter would not clear after regeneration. VW Cost about £1200 for a new one! Ouch! A local mechanic decided to remove DPF cut in half & remove the actual filter, weld back together & put on car.

This has worked in so much that the car is driving fine, but as suspected the engine management light that they managed to clear, came back on a couple of days later. I understand that there is DPF delete software that can remove from ECU, but this is quite costly. Does anyone know what the longer term effects of having done this maybe, will the car still try to regenerate the DPF, when at right revs etc ?

Any info appreciated.

There might be others, but I am aware JBS Autodesigns (up north and sponsors at GTI International) to an all-in DPF delete and remapping for about £1,000+vat. Might be cheaper for you as the hardware is already done.

Hi there, it might be worth your while speaking to dave at eliteremaps if you google it it will come up, im sure he can take the software out the ecu for you.
