Illegal to remove. Will fail an MoT. :wink:

Cutting open the dpf and taking out the contents and then rewelding it up is the job...nobody can tell you whats inside or not.... :laugh:

As it was only a retrofit option there is a good chance alot of them didn't have them fitted.

thanx matto, good find that
so the dealer would have put this on after/before car was sold?
there are also 3 types of DPF? good old vw :rolleye: make it difficult or what. So I might have the wrong one if I do a lot of miles?
Currently...fingers crossed....no bad effects yet @ 110K miles, I do like to hold it on limiter for 30secs once a week to clear things out, not sure if it helps but I enjoy it :party:
Matto:
The link I posted was what is listed as a DPF retrofit kit which is listed for a few different engine codes including the BKD which yours is. It would have probably only been fitted if requested on the earlier one and then on the very late MK5 140's.
