DPF removal, no mapping required?

[PLuKE]

I was told it would be best to get my DPF gutted.

They said I shouldn't need it mapping out if its all stripped out as the pressure should stay constaint.

Is there truth to this?

Thanks

It will need remapped

It definitely has to be mapped

You may get away without a remap although it's not really recommended. However, what you definitely would need is the ECU reconfigured so that its no longer expecting the presence of a DPF (i.e. the soot load monitoring and regeneration functionality etc.).

However, if you're going to the trouble of getting the DPF removed/gutted then you would be best advised to take it to a place that specialises in doing a DPF delete and remap as a single package.

He said it might need doing, if so he can out me in contact with somebody who can do the DPF map, and a remap aswell.

To add, as mine is the first year for the Leon to have a DPF a fitted it should be fine to remove and no map required.

I have seen a couple of members here to have the DPF fully removed and pipe fitted, and no mapping required.

they need to map out the dpf software so may aswell get it remapped at same time and enjoy some real gains. get it done! lol

You 100% need it mapping out. Mainly for The regeneration cycle and pressure sensor

Does anyone know what the crack is with m.o.t now with this, as I know that if it has been removed it's a straight fail, but obviously it's only a visual check. Or so I've read through research.
Thanks!

I spoke to my local garage it is just a visual check obviously they see its been tampered with it will fail then they do a visual smoke test

Yeah I thought as much, I really want to get it done the only thing putting me off was obviously the whole M.O.T side of it as I wouldn't have money to mess about with putting it back to standard if it did fail due to mortgage etc etc etc

 

[bilton17]

Yeh thats my worry as ive heard they are £1000 to replace lol
