Thanks for the info. Glad I haven't had mine done although the place that I asked to quote me on a remap were adamant I should do...
Gonna do lots of those places out of some big bucks!
I can almost hear some people's tears hitting the corn flakes this morning.....Quote:

some people have the dpf body still just gutted the inside so unclear if they will get through the mot as it seems it will only be a visual check and emissions
Do kinda feel sorry for those with post 08 A6's with them fitted. 4 of my neighbours with (albeit smaller) diesels who've had problems with their DPF's since they only do local non-motorway miles and now have take them on an unnecessary M'way run to stop them clogging up. 3 agree they'll stick to a petrol model in future :( And then there are those that have removed their DPF's. Luckily those that have LPG cars find their emissions are so small and definitely 20% of a petrol variant.
I feel sorry for the people who bought the diesel cars and only do local driving, not motorwary, and were badly advised or did not know the issue with having to get them regened by a longish drive. For the vast majority rest of us it is not a problem.Quote:
