DPF's
« on: 04 March 2014, 12:57 »
Morning all, i read on here a while back about the law changing with regards dpf's. I've just spoke to my uncle who's in the motor trade and had the memo direct from vosa,i have no docs to back this up so take it or leave,but he said if the car doesn't have a dpf and it is suppose to i will fail. I read previously that if the housing etc were still in place so it looked like one was fitted it would be ok not the case, they are actually going to test the dpf to prove its fitted i'm gutted as i had mine removed as it was clogged up :-( you have been warned

Mines passed the last two tests without the DPF so that cant be it  :undecided:

Unless they are going to dramatically reduce the levels  :undecided:  good job I can put back the standard map whilst I wait  :whistle:
