lasthope Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 hi can the dpf be removed from my ford focus 1.6tdci 2008 if so how much and what does it take to do cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFocus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 You can remove it by putting in new exhaust pipes that have the DPF removed and have it 'deleted' from the ECU, but legally you cannot remove one any more as it would fail its MOT. I believe you can get 'empty' DPF casing/pipework that fools an MOT tester to believing it is still there but this is a grey area and if it fails emissions tests then I'm sure that the MOT tester would guess it'd been removed? Also you'd technically be uninsured in an accident if an insurer found out as you will have modified the car without informing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono94 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 As iFocus says it's possible but may cause hassle down the line but your probably looking at 350-650 in terms of cost. If it's causing trouble , I would look into getting some sort of DPF active regen service and with that have a Terraclean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 it is really unlucky having a focus of that age with the dpf on. the same engine was used in the fiesta and they were not fitted with dpf on that engine until later years compared to focus. And it's not as if focus got tax advantage as the fiesta was in the £30 annual tax band with that engine and no dpf (dpf does not affect the taxable omissions). so if that engine was legal in the fiesta without a dpf why can't we remove the dpf from same age focus without committing an offence? I know the law says no but where is the logic in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
