mintalkin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 the only problem with removing the dpf is under new m.o.t rules your car will fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsheikh Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 there is a place in Hinckley that does this but they empty the DPF canister or replace it with an empty box and map your car - R-Tech. I know Nick and he's really good at mapping cars etc and writes his own codes. Give him a call, he also knows someone that can help with MOT's too.

jeebowhite Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just be careful if you go down this road, its frowned upon heavily by the DfT and VOSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Isn't the dpf an integral part of the catalytic converter on the1.6 TDCI !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 alz, its technically not, it just helps to clean out the cack even more, it can be bypassed, and apparently the correct remap can reduce the emissions as significantly as the DPF would... http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/18241-dpf-removal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed R-Tech this morning just waiting on a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozo Jojo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Cat and dpf are in the same unit on Fords, you have to actualy cut the enclosure, get the ceramic dpf filter out, and then wel the enclosure back, leaving only the cat inside. You could also get a cat only unit fitted. Remap is not always the best solution but it is a solution :), i used anothe one (emulated dpf, removed ceramic). This is a cat only http://www.ebay.co.u...=item20ba948019 This is Cat + dpf (notice the enclosure is bigger on thi one) : http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e5ff56829 And also i wonder if you can fit this one : http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f0c5a60a2 I don't really know if it would fit ... i think this is for the american models ? And this is for the 90hp 1.6 tdci and i thin kthis would fit. http://www.magnaflow.eu/02catalytic_converters/02product/displayeurope01.asp?partnumber=62502D&catalogid=982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
