Has anyone got a good dpf for sale?? To fit the 2008 leon fr pd engine
Live in the hereford area and would travel to pickup!
I had the insides taken out
I keep reading about people doing this. It's got to be better to replace it with a straight pipe than gut it out........................................

If you replace it with a pipe, Instant Fail MOT because DPF will be gone
If you gut the insides, The DPF is still visible therefore MOT Pass!
MOT only visually checks ths DPF (See if there are any holes, damages etc, If it looks good it passes)
And thats why we gut the DPF instead of using a bypass pipe =]
Ofcourse you could take off the pipe before every MOT but i really cant be bothered haha
Also diesels do not get tested on emissions, They only get a smoke test which you should pass easily, even with a remap at stage 1! Stage 2 is far to smokey from what i have seen.......
Dear Mr xxxxx,
Thank you for your email enquiry dated 22nd January 2012, concerning MOT
tests.
The check for a CAT only applies to petrol engined vehicles which qualify
for a full CAT test. There will be an update to the Inspection Manual in
Spring which will clarify this.
I hope this information has assisted you with your enquiry, but if you have
any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards
Rebecca
