James0748 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 I brought a spare one to gut hopefully it will sound ok Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugCo22 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Personally I wouldn't bother. You'll fail the mot agen now for not having a cat on a diesel as they have changed the rules again and being a mk4, you'll have a partical filter fitted. Unless you you remove both, I can't see cat removal making to much difference. From wot I've read, the partical filter can clog up, look up Google pics, but don't know if cat removal would increase the partical build up ??

James0748 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I was hoping to leave dpf on till I had issues with it but it does make sense that it might clog I will have to look into it before I do anything as I was just trying to get my mpg up a little while making it sound a little different Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandads_shed Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 New Rules for MOT Testing – UK In February 2014 the UK government broughtout a visual inspection as part of the annual test for road vehicles.The tester must now look for the presence of a DPF filter section in theexhaust. As we have always just removed the insides from the DPF filterand left the original canister in place this means that you will notfail your MOT.

BugCo22 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Would it not fail on emissions tho ?? If they test for particals on the emissions test ?? I don't know if they can actually test that tho ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Diesels do not fail MOT's on emissions, only if they appear to be producing too much smoke. http://www.ukmot.com/MOT%20test/Emissions%20-%20Diesel.asp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 My neighbour had a gutted one on his car and it failed as they had some way of checking inside to make sure it was fully operational Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Probably tapped it with a spanner to see if it was hollow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 If I did what many members have done and have my dpf gutted and welded back on and have a remap would I be likely to fail the mot or should it sail through? My mechanic reckons it shouldn't have a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James0748 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I remap cars and we cut the top of the dpf and weld I pipe through so it looks like the dpf is still there and "working" that way they can't fail it on a mot Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
