a non - dpf golf puts out : CO2 Emissions    145 g/km

if you have your most recent MOT certificate it should tell you the emmisions on there.

haha cheers adam, othen than numbers theres nothing i can check or see to identify dpf or not !

probably wont mention but there should be a sticker inside your drivers door?

oes it have a "W" for winter button where the ESP button is ? if it has not it is a 140bhp and vice versa for 170

if tail pipes come out of bumper it's 170 and has dpf

140 has hidden pipes which point down.

but there are later model 140's which have dpf's also.

in that case the i don't know - DPF cars have straight out tail peeps

the only tell tale would be the 312mm brakes on the 170 but that's not the issue here

I'm 99.999999999% sure that no 140 PD TDI's had DPFs. These were only introduced with CR engines (with the exception of 170 PDs) and I'm pretty sure that there are no Mk5's with CR engines.
