GREY, 2006 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 GT TDI 5 door hatchback, 6 speed manual.just looking at cars, like a couple of tdi 140´s. One is an 06 plate, the other an 08...will the 06 have a dpf fitted and are they something to worry about (if i were to buy the 08 plate?)
-
shouldn't do.
just check yourself it's easy to see it's directly off back of turbo.
-
Well DPF problems with the 2.0TDI PD engines are not uncommon.
-
I'm almost certain the 140's never had a DPF. Maybe the very late in the MK5 run but you should be fine with the years you have been looking at.
-
Pretty positive my 58 plate 140 doesnt have one

as above, the 140 mk5 version dosn't have the dpf mate. i've had 3 to date and still have one and i havn't seen one yet.

My o8 140 gt tdi sport has, I think it was an option, and as it was a company car I guess they felt green about having it. Road tax is only £135 :smiley:

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

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:

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:
-
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.
-
maybe just on the 08/58 gt tdi sport model then.
-
does anyone know how the system regens then? or how do you do it manually, i've heard it's something like 2,500 rpm for so many miles,
-
Dpf's are the devil! My sisters 170 has eaten another one in less than 12 months!

I believe when in the process of doing a regen, it picks up a different map loaded to the ecu. This adjusts fuelling parameters causing it to burn hotter. The extra heat is supposed to burn off the carbon that has built up in the DPF. The problem comes as it will never do a full regen, down to 0%. It will gradually leave more and more untill it is blocked.

found this an interesting read

Done 123,465 miles last week, is that a record for a DPF on a MK5?
Read on vortex, vw DPF's are designed for 150K is that true?

This is VW take on it

How long a dpf lasts is down to how and where it's driven. My wife's 2011 Skoda fabia 1.6 common rail has done 155k and is still on original dpf with no problems. On the other hand I replaced dpf units on some cars at 3k due to driving style pottering around town etc. Removal and a map is a good option but now a mot failure.

"This process takes place at temperatures between 350 and 500 °C and can run continuously, particularly if you drive your car mainly on long runs. "
Does this mean its burning more fuel continuously on a long run, as its constantly burning stuff off?
I thought DPf's were ok for long runs?

It means that if the exhaust gases reach those temperatures the regeneration process occurs passively, without extra fuel consumption. That usually happens while doing long drives. DPF love them and will last a lot more if you don't do short runs.

oh right I see, that sounds a lot better thanks :drinking:
