Hi

I get my DPF removed on Tuesday and notice massive smoke cloud on engine start is that normal ??

I know under full load there will be some smoke as DPF was in place to catch all that.
 
Who did the DPF Delete? What colour is smoke on startup

I have this done by P-torque and smoke is blue-grey-black hard to tel really is just lie puff from exhaust on star up ... Is that normal or not at all ??

To make things clear I'm very happy with P-torque job as power delivery is superb Will transformed my car and I'm in love with FR again... I'm just bit worried by smoke

mine does same...it could be the car is regenerating still..might be a software issue..
 
No is nothing to do with that ... this smoke is just unburned fuel from engine start up
 
i had stage 2 remap on dpf delete. mine smokes really badly..blue smoke most times...im taking mine into garage who did the works tomorrow. hope they sort it. I was told mines regenerating all the time as the ecu has not been programmed properly...
 
Who did Your DPF removal ??

Mines smoke just on full load and is not blue smoke bit like dark grey usual stuff for tuned diesel
 
My old PD170 only smoked black

Blue smoke isnt normal

It was done by Removemydpf.co.uk also known as morebhp. it doesn't burn oil though!
 
You should use one of reputable tuner

S.H.A.R.K performance
P-torque
Darkside developments

I don't think I read about single problem from any of them
 
No never heard about them and I don't think someone from here run car modified by them ... is Your DPF removed and they put performance map in ?? or just DPF removal
 
Have you not of heard of these guys? They have some good reviews. Hope they sort it tomorrow.

The PD170 has a troublesome ecu system in relation to the dpf. If you do a search plenty will come up about companys trying and failing with the software.
After plenty of research on my part and a few others you stick to the big names.
 
Yes, they have put perfomance map in and also done dpf delete. Drives well with no warning lights etc. Sometimes the power is abit hesitant in delivering. I've researched and understand its due to the dpf regeneration cycle. I'm thinking if the smoking stops it will sort out. I hope so anyway.

Possible regeneration. Good luck. If I were you I would make my way to ***** performance pronto. Engines can be sdverly damaged with the huge temps if your dpf is rdmoved
 
Did they done dyno run to give You some figures which You run now ??
 
Not sure. I bought car off someone who had remap done from these guys. He gave me details for this company in case I have any issues with ecu etc. Initially I thought blue smoke mite be engine or turbo. Got turbo replaced but still same. Took to another garage who said it is dpf regenerating all the time causing blue smoke.
 
Do You replace turbo without proper diagnostic ??

Get Your car to any company which I put in above post
