    Hello everyone has anyone put a after market dpf on a Audi Q7 has the cost of a new one from Audi is £1570 pounds and rather expensive, and buying one from eBay is £200 with 2 years guarantee????
    Replies on this would be rather welcome has anyone fitted them and had any problems, because buying one from eBay every 2 years would be more cost effective than buying 1 from Audi.

    I fitted a few aftermarket DPF’s in the early days from various manufacturers, all failed and we ended up finding good used units which is a rare example of me using second hand parts.

    I try to do all my work myself as Audi wanted £4600 for dpf and cat replacement and just can’t justify that price tag, if I got the dpf off with out snapping anything I would of cleaned it my self and put it back on and learned how to use Vcds for the other bits needed doing.

    I don’t feel you can clean it yourself without the specialist equipment or I would do, we use DPF Clean Team who are excellent people.
