MK3 Mondeo ST TDCI DPF query

[FatHead1979]

Hi all,

I'm fighting a losing battle against rust with my MK2 Focus saloon and starting to consider other options as a relatively cheap replacement.

I know the 2.2 TDCI in the MK3 ST is the Ford Puma unit but struggling to find out if it has a dpf? (I know they fitted a DPF when it was fitted to Jaguars after a certain build date)

I've enjoyed the bulletproof reliability of my 1.8 TDCI Lynx engine with no DPF and have no desire to add to the stress in my life by waiting for a DPF to block! 

Could any of the regulars that have had a MK3 ST TDCI or still have once confirm if the model ever had a DPF fitted?

No DPF on Mk3's but do have a cat AFAIRC, My my4 with over 175k on the clock and no DPF r DMF  problems

I didn't think there was a DPF but I thought I might as well check with the experts to be sure!

Some mk3 must have been fitted with a dpf or atleast an option because it comes up on the ford parts catalogue.

i haven't seen one yet with a dpf yet.
