CarMad Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 If you open another thread asking the same question then it will be your last post. Search for the answer or wait for someone to answer your post but don't ask the same question in 6 different forums especially when there are active threads that people area already helping you in.

brown3949 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 hey there car mad didnt no i was only allowed to only 1 thread as not seen anywhere that says there is a limit and as for you saying search for answer i have been looking for a while now and still not 100% on what ive found. And theres no reason for you to threaten that if i post another post it will be my last you could just say thats not how it works on the forum and if you read them they are all slightly different answers that i am after so like i said sorry for opening more than 1 thread mr attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 No attitude her but asking the same question pretty darn close in multiple forums is not the thing to do on TSN if you want to get some help and and answer to your question. Oh and some capitals and full stops might help people to read your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lets just merge every forum into one and have done with it? Or better yet, encourage the guy with a problem on his Playstation to post it in the Porsche Technical section 'just in case'.... believe me the concept of asking 10 times makes for a faster answer does not exist on this forum The members of TSN will be more than happy to offer their advice, just take it easy (Just one more thing - pretty much nothing goes down worse here than chv txt spk - if you're aware of something you "KNOW it" , not "NO it" ) Edited August 10, 2010 by bazza_g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown3949 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks all for explaining this guess i'll learn from my mistake.Anyway if anybody else need's to Know having a car with DPF removal will still pass it's MOT.Take it for a run before you take it to get most of crap out,also using millers diesel power plus to lower your emissions may help.And last but not least insist on car being tested when properly warm. This is what i've been told so when i need MOT i'll use this method and let you all know how i got on Cheers Oh i tried my best to include no chav text capitals in right space and use full stops hahaha so please give me a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 cheers I had a Golf GT170 sooty a while back and, at the time, was told that the remaps were all over the place because DPF's were catching fire - good to know you can remove them and still pass a MOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 What car is it for mattyboy? We do loads of VAG cars, see Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) removal for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suerogers Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well, just had the DPF removed, cost? £540.00. I'll explain. Bought car last October, when I bought it the guy mentioned that a warning light came up every now and again, I knew nothing about DPF regen at that point, he stated that he just took it to a garage and had them disengage it....thought nothing of it, First time I had the warning light I looked it up, got used to regening about every 6-8weeks, blast on motorway between 3-4000 rpm's for 20 mins, unfortunately due to the previous owners driving and ignoring the regens this would never have been enough, the EGR had already been affected... On the last regen, I had to drop from 5th to 4rth, this stops the regen, went into limp mode on motorway....Aghhh..... After a lot of researching, the cost of a new DPF (VW Eos) £1400.00 + labour!!!! DPF removal £280.00, reprogramming ECU £260.00.... YOU DO THE MATHS.... Just got the car through MOT, performance enhanced, MPG improved!!!! Happy girl me...

garcon magnifique Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 What car is it for mattyboy? We do loads of VAG cars, see Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) removal for details How long to tweak the software for a Subaru Boxer diesel? You've got just over two years til my warranty runs out and I either get shut or get the DPF removed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoop321 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Which company did you use to remove the DPF? Want to get mine removed but not enough feedback from people who have had them removed, other than yourself! Did you also have the software removed in a remap? A friend of mine runs http://www.sharkperformance.co.uk/ . I have seen other companies about if you Google it but I obviously cant vouch for them. Dependent on your car they can physically remove your dpf and put in a replacement pipe or modify the existing dpf. As far as I am aware they all require that the software is removed for your ECU. Hope that helps Edited June 15, 2012 by shao_khan Advert on first post, so put my friend in instead :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
