dpf

[kus]

sick of my dpf only had it 3 months!!!!
is it possible to remove the dpf cut the top off it pull the guts out of it weld the top back on and then get the dpf delete done ??? would it work??:confused:

[roundwoodgarage]

yep, so long as you connect all the pipes and sensors back up

[kus]

hi ,have you done this idea with the dpf ? would fit miltec bypass pipe but it does not fit a quattro! its been regenerated but it only did 200miles dont like the idea of a new one at £1300 !!(for the part only)

[kus]

also can some one explain whats involved in the dpf delete process?? will it stil pass MOT emissions test??

how old is your car ?

[kus]

its a 57 plate with 70,000 miles on clock

[VAGMAN54]

so did a dealer do a regen on the car or is it one you have done yourself

[kus]

the first time the dealer did it. the second time i did it by thrashing up and down the road at high revs now its on and in limp again.

[VAGMAN54]

yes because i think your dealer didnt drop the soot content enough,i always drop them to 5% otherwise you get your problem and they just want to sell a new dpf.....check the vcds user location and see if somebody near you can do a regen for you i can more or less guarantee that it will last a whole lot longer.......

the first time the dealer did it. the second time i did it by thrashing up and down the road at high revs now its on and in limp again.That's not the correct way to do a re-generation, no wonder you're having problems!!!

Read your owners handbook!!!

You need to drive on light throttle, not accelerating or on over-run at 1800-2000 rpm for about 10 miles if possible, that should sort it.

i did read the handbook!!!
and did what it said several times but it did not work!

DPF is not required for MOT, you can remove Dpf but this will put Engine light on, so you will need to have the code deleted from ECU.

Click on website in my sig & read info on there about DPF's

am i right in thinking there is no manufacturer thats makes a dpf bypass pipe thats fits a 57 plate a3 quattro???

[perky85]

It can be maufactured though.

Some exhaust manufacturer like powerflow may be able to cut out dpf & weld a by-pass pipe in

[kus]

yes well i able to do that myself if a cut around the top carfully pull the guts out reweld the top back on.then all the ports for the sensors will still be in the right place to connect again. got a mate wit all the sofware to do the fault code delete bit. mite try that. it looks like its a ball-ache to get at thou??
