Hello

has any one had a DPF delete done ?

im worried that when i get my rcz it will choke up i live in city centre so it doesnt get driven much but once a month it will get a good run like a few hundred miles. thought about getting a DPF delete done to stop the clogging

just wondered if any one had done it and any issues etc

cheers

Hello,

I use mine around town and give it a run every so often. My filter light did come on but by going on the motorway for 20 minutes and keeping it in 4th gear sorted it for me.

Mine's petrol so forgive me if I've misunderstood. But if by 'delete' you mean 'removal' then you may not be aware that it will mean an instant MOT failure. There was something about this on the TV news the other day which I figured meant it was just coming into effect, but I've googled for it just now and it seems it came into effect in Feb.

Worse still, your insurance company may view it as a modification away from standard spec and invalidate your insurance if you don't declare it (but declaring it means they won't insure you as the car is no longer legal).

Just give it a good blast down a motorway now and again :lol:

I do not expect that you will experience any problems as you will be giving your car a decent run, that will allow the DPF to clear itself. If you are concerned and the fact that you are asking the question suggests that you are, then this thread/product may be of interest to you and is better than removing the DPF for the reasons that have been eloquently pointed out.

Assuming 50mpg average and a service interval of 20000 miles that fluid used at each full up will cost you 270 quid (actually 136 quid every 10000 miles). I'd imaging that IF you had to pay to get the dpf regeneration done it's cheaper to pay for it rather than the magic fluid. Cheaper still, take 30 mins to drive out to a dual carriageway and never change above 3rd every other fill up. Job done. My mr2 roadster has to be absolutely spanked before each mot to clean the emissions up. It's not a big hassle and at least you CAN do something simple to clean it unlike the direct injection petrol issue.

I wouldn't have thought that the intention is to use it at every fuel up. Surely you would only use it if you got the warning light.

You're part right. Their website says use every 2000 miles or more frequently if blocking is a problem. On that make basis, rag it for 20 straight minutes every 2000 miles or more frequently if blockage is a problem and save 87 quid per service interval!

I'm 6 foot 4 broad and well overweight and have plenty of room. Unless you're a pro NBA player you'll fit fine.

Peugeot use a fluid to burn off soot in the dpf, it burns the filter much hotter than usual and therefore cleans it out, neutralising and co as it goes. IF you want to remove the dpf, my advice would be to cut it out, knock the filter out of the can, and replace the empty can. Then remap. Mot check is only a visual to see if is present, and if the can is present they won't know the difference. Diesel gases are measured by opacity and the Diesel engine is WELL under the tolerance. Plus...it's a big filter, with a big restriction...so free horses!!
