Just a quick personal thanks. Now that you have decided to remove your DPF I will have the pleasure of breathing in all the extra sh!;e that will come out of your exhaust and into the atmosphere.

A HEART FELT THANK YOU!

Not read the new mot rules on dpf's no?

but i fault as long as the car passes the emissions test it is fine and dose not pollute the air any more than a 140 golf without the dpf

I think it was Zollaf that pointed out that cars with a DPF have lower rates of road tax because they pollute less.

at the moment it will pass an emissions test but if vosa introduce a new smoke testing machine next year that can test for the presence of a dpf, anyone that has been clever and deleted it but left the outer part of the dpf in place will be ******. also, if vosa do a roadside test, you will fail. a bit like peope who remove cats from petrol cars. if vosa catch you they may also ask you to pay the tax money you have saved since the dpf was removed. sorry to be blunt, its there for a reason, if you don't like it, buy something else or fit a new dpf. simples. and no, i am not a killjoy but i did enjoy saying 'told you so' when someone ignores good advice and then moans when they get a huge fine and have to watch their car being crushed. but hey, its your car and money.

I see local farmers with new Audis, Skodas Passats etc crawling around at 30 MPH oblivious to their DPF. It's not practical for those type of drivers or anyone that doesn't do higher mileage with some 60+ MPH driving.

no, they need a petrol, or a later diesel in 3 or 4 years time when technology is better, or an older diesel with no dpf. as you say, the dpf is fitted to meet euro 4 or 5 emissions levels. remove it and its an offence. its like people that buy a bluemotion then fit wider alloys etc... but still claim the 30 quid a year tax.
