Has my car got a dpf?

[Scott Doyle]

Hi was wondering if my 2009 mk2 Leon has a dpf. It’s a 1.9 tdi?
Want to get the car straight piped would it be a good idea or would it have dpf problems then?

I think it does. You would need to have the dpf mapped out and may blow a bit of smoke the dpf would otherwise catch.

If it's a BXE engine then no, it shouldn't have the DPF.

Straight through exhausts generally don't tend to sound good on diesel engines though, either inside or outside.

How do I tell if it’s a bxe engine. Where can I get the engine code?

Engine code should be on the vehicle information sticker under the boot carpet, should also be one in the owners manual.

It’s a BXE. I’m nearly sure. Says it in the vin plate in the engine compartment
