No worries at all, know it’s not to everyone’s taste to do what I’ve done but not forking out another £1600 for a new turbo when it would go again. I will risk it.
No, they basically cut a lid on it. Take all innards out, re weld plate, grind it all smooth, re spray it. Looks totally untouched, plus it’s the top so can’t even see it.
Gone through two MOTs since.
One other option is to get the DPF professionally cleaned. There are loads of companies out there offering this service. My independent says around 70% of his emission related work is blocked DPFs
You can go down that route, but will just keep happening and more expense. It’s an absolute garbage design, most of time it doesn’t get hot enough to burn away the crap and deposit it. Mine was solid inside and no saving it.
So options are, buy a new DPF for the exact same to happen or delete it.
Touch wood mine has not had any issues so far, but a friend had a blocked DPF cleaned around a year ago and he says he has not had a problem since. So I suppose you have to balance the cleaning cost against other option. I agree the whole thing with DPFs is a ticking time bomb.
im thing to reprog and delete the DPF and the adblue, someone did it? it is safe? Im a bit worry about if in the future have problems with the DPF it is very expensivo to fix
