About this deal
Deposits in the fuel system, air intake, EGR valve, injectors, etc. Modern diesel fuel systems are highly engineered, but are susceptible to deposits which may effect the efficiency of combustion. Inefficient combustion = more hydrocarbons, and therefore more soot in the exhaust and filter. If your running a turbo diesel engine and can feel a noticeable loss of power, there's a good chance the turbo could do with a cleanout**.**
In a press release from 2 May 2016, FOE air pollution campaigner, Oliver Hayes, stated, “Air pollution is a public health crisis of breath-taking proportions. The dodgy practice of removing pollution filters from cars is not only risking people’s health but also putting drivers at risk of prosecution for the simple fact that it’s illegal to drive a car with its DPF removed.”

The Used Car Guy holds no liability for your outcomes when trying the procedure listed above. This article is meant only to aid car owners that wish to avoid spending large amounts of money on their used car.Have the Dpf removed and a remap but I believe that the penalty for so doing is the registered keeper being put in an iron coffin with spikes on the inside. If the DPF filter reaches a certain percentage full level, your car will give you a warning light which will look something similar to the image below (The image will vary between car manufacturer but will generally look very similar) DPF filters are fitted to all modern diesel vehicles and were introduced around 2009 to comply with Euro 5 exhaust emissions rules, some vehicles were fitted with them slightly prior to this.
