    Hi,

    Could anyone please help me. I am thinking of buying either an Audi A3 or Seat Leon diesel 2005 onwards, does anyone know if these diesel engines have a DPF as I would be driving mainly locally in town to commute to and from work. I have been told that diesels with DPF cause alot of problems especially when driven mainly locally and are very expensive to repair.

    Any advice or help will be much appreciated escpecially if anyone can tell me which diesel engines have a DPF fitted and from what year onwards.

    Thanx

    I think the answer is as follows:

    The 170 BHP has a DPF filter, the 140 did not, however it has a major issue with the chain driven oil pump on the earlier models (around 2004 - 2006)

    The 1.9tdi engine is the most reliable and economical of the bunch, but lacks power without a remap.

    The 3.0tdi on the early versions I don't think had a DPF, but when they upped the BHP from 201 to 233, they added a DPF filter.

    I have no idea on the 2.7tdi.

    Paul

    If you can check the option codes on the data sticker in the spare wheel well - if you see 7GN anywhere the car does not have a DPF.

    I think 2008 onwards they all have a DPF and some earlier ones too.

    Does this apply across the whole VW/Audi group including Seat n Skoda, 7GN option code means no DPF.

    Is that right, Chris? I've got a 2007 30.TDi TDV with 233PS, and the data sheet for it includes the following code and description:

    "7GN Emission Standard, EU4, DPF Preparation".

    Should I conclude from this that my car is not fitted with a DPF?
    A4 3.0TDi SE Quattro Tiptronic in Quartz Grey.

    On order: S4 Black Edition Saloon in Tornado Grey with Fine Nappa black/silver leather.

    Just for info my 2007 2.0 tdi 140 DOES have a DPF fitted. Until they became standard on all it was an option - that my lease company decided to take up in its wisdom.
