I posted the same question on April 13 and got no reply. Maybe we each just have to go to our nearest Audi dealer and ask him.

But I can't believe there isn't somebody on this forum who knows the answer!

With the engine warm, hold a white handkerchief over the tailpipe and get some one to rev to 3500rpm and back to idle slowly such that it takes a few seconds - if the handkerchief is clean, you have DPF. e.g.

Thank you, Snapdragon.

Can anyone carry out this test, or do you have to be President of the USA?

I'm pretty sure only the 170bhp diesels have DPF

I checked the front of my service book (next to the serial number) which shows whether it has a DPF.
