Wibbly Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Bought a pre-registered Focus 1.6 tdci 110 on a 57 plate from 'new'. Lots of talk with the dealer about DPFs but at my predicted mileage at the time decided to go with it anyway. Just had a 37.5K/3yr service where the DPF fluid is supposed to be topped up. Car siad it needed the service at 35.5K so I had it don then. Anyway, turns out it doesn't have a DPF :-) Apparently at that time a few engine variants didn't get one. Maybe then I have the last of a few like that? :-) Maybe make the car worth a little more when I come to sell it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APJ Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Its a nightmare even trying to find out if you've got one mate......i asked the ford mechanics to check for me when i had my CAM belt & water pump changed and they confirmed that i definatly didnt have one..was so releived. I was having issues with the car and the symptoms were similer to a failing DPF. In the end it tunred out to be the EGR valve..so i got a new one put in and everything is fine now. What problems are you having? have you investigated the EGR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibbly Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Its a nightmare even trying to find out if you've got one mate...... Yup. Only way I found out was being told they tried to top up the DPF oil and there was nowhere to do it. Doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnH Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 i normally just looked under the rear of the car around the fuel tank to see if there was a smaller tank. that works aslong the DPF are the ones that require the EOYLS Fluid. anyways heres a link regarding the DPF and MOT that might make for interesting reading: http://www.peugeotforums.com/forums/407-41/mot-result-16962/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
