Jobert Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thank you sir, that's very informative.. I've had this dilemma wether to get a 18" and 17". Now that you said it, then I will be sticking to 17". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samgreeny Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Had my dpf done. It definitely feels different! Had it donee Saturday. Come to drive it Sunday and the engine management like comes on. Will it go into limp mode or would it have already done it? Drove it for 2 hours after it had been on.

tazzman600 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Take it back to who did your dpf and tell them for either a full refund or to do the job Right. Looks like they didn't do an ecu delete regarding the DPF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samgreeny Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 No they haven't cause me and a mate did it but it hasn't been mapped yet. Wanting to get that done soon. It was more just checking if it would go into limp mode or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Oh. But from what I've read over time you don't need a remap just to do a DPF delete. Oh well you'll just have to use your forscan or similar to delete the management light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samgreeny Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I am wanting to get it remapped anyway tbh so may as well get it all done at the same time. Unless there is a way of doing a DPF delete a different way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate have you confirmed it's the dpf that's caused your eml to come on?

Well it has only come on since I had the dpf done? It's now putting out black smoke. I probably wouldn't touch it and get a place to do it at the same time. I need to book it in for a map in the next week if I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmand00 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 You have got your egr blanked off haven't ya? Bummer I was hoping to get away with it. This is exactly why I'd asked before about a straight pipe to replace it just in case I had to put the dpf back on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hating the black smoke and I presume it can harm the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmand00 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 No it shouldn't do any harm. You did leave the cat and not break that up as well by mistake did ya? It could just be the injector dumping fuel into the exhaust it has an injector specificly for the dpf try disconnecting it. It's the solid metal pipe just before where the dpf can is. If it's that you may have destroyed the cat with raw fuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 A functioning DPF should be trapping the soot particles which are the source of black smoke - that is the main function of a DPF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Left for too long the root cause will clog up the EGRV ( unless it's blanked ) Your engine is running rich for some reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmand00 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It sounds to me more likely something else is amiss tbh. The dpf wouldn't cause it to over fuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
