In Topic: Dpf Removal

06 November 2012 - 10:48 AM

Thanks for the reply's guys! Made me feel much better about getting it done now.
I don't understand why these stupid filters have been used! I get that its to lower emissions but at a huge cost to all the consumers.
Over £1000 to get a new one fitted every 72k miles, what a joke!

Is it illegal to have the DPF removed?
Ford have said to have the DPF replaced will cost in the region of £1000!! A regeneration will not work.

I have found a place close to me that removed them and re mapps the engine for around £300.
It seems like a no brainier but will I be prosecuted if I have it removed? Is it likely to cause it to fail the mot

A DPF replacement from Ford will cost you a lot of money there are lots of threads on here about the DPF

Can this be done by an independ garage?

Right thanks for the reply's. I had the car in a garage today fir a check and this is what they wrote down for me.
P2458 DPF regen duration above max threshold.
P242F DPF restriction, ash accumulation above max threshold.

REQ, DPF cleaner
