@@stEVEN_SMARTER you and your kids are not going to put your mouth near car exhausts and take in all the fumes are you, no matter where you are there's always gonna be bad air somewhere.
Well said man. I had 2 DEF pumps and 2 DEF heaters + a NOx sensor fail on my old truck IN ONE YEAR. $7000 in repairs. Deleted it for a whopping $1500 and had no issues. Deleted my new truck off the lot and am getting 26+ mpg.
@@JimmieABES Thanks for getting back to me mate much appreciated, you put my mind to ease! One more question my local garage where I got the dpf removed is about 50 miles from where I’m getting the ecu remapped will it be ok to drive it there?
I've often thought about the removal of the DPF on my Merc C220, I'd gain more bhp/torque and I'm always happy with that. Your facts were valid and I totally agree.
I posted 2 years ago in favour of DPF deletion. I was wrong, the only reason I was in favour was because of the cost of replacement or having them cleaned. Since then I discovered Steven B Turner on RU-vid, I followed his instructions using diluted brick cleaning acid to soak a blocked DPF, worked a treat, 50,000 miles on still going strong with no problems.
I have a dpf delete and egr blank and it's been remapped stage 1 and the car has never run as good as it does now. Best 400 quid ever spent. Mpg has risen, More power and better idling and acceleration. And it passed emission test no problem. It's the worst thing car manufacturers ever came up with any diesel I buy from now on will get the same done again.
Thanks mate I've emailed a company near me that does it well . I'm going to get some funds and get it done . My regens are loke 100+ miles and lately even doing them shortly after warm up ffs and I always let them finish . Cars had loads of shit done so I'm not having another turbo/hg/rockers/cams go on me. Fuck the government
@@kevinhancock4064 it will be the best money ever spent, Car passed MOT the day as well. I just did a run from Aberdeen to Manchester and i was averaging 71.5 mpg and cruise control on at 75mph. Dpf delete, egr delete and stage 1 tune beat money i have ever spent and the car is a lot more responsive.
@@AndrewMMSmith that's good enough for me mate love it sounds fab . My last diesel (and 1 before ) didn't have a dpf . But ekissu9ns were to clean to read . I think the government should focus more on cars being serviced properly that wouod be more beneficial to the environment
Quality video mate, 100 percent correct on all factors here. Im gonna remove my jag xf dpf waste of time these things. I also have a camaro that has a full decat and straight pipe system and i drive that on the road so o really couldn't care less about a dpf delete being 'illegal', great video
Its better to do a DPF Removal and Delete than send a car to the scrap yard, when you look at the polution generated by producing a new car it is far better to let a good car run its life to the end!
Spot on me I've had a car with the dreaded DPF failure cost me a lot of time money and stress never liked diesels since DPF were fitted looked after the car oil changes every 6000 well maintained and well used DPF still failed
My issue with the DPF in modern diesel cars is that you never know when a regeneration cycle is in progress, because if we did more people would probably try to complete the cycle. In my W205 C250D I know more or less when regeneration happens because the Auto Start/Stop system is not available during this time. I just had to do the Ad-blue delete because of the limited range warning even though I added 10 liters in the tank. Had it reset and it lasted two days before the limited range warning came up again. The delete cost me 150 quid. Rather pay that than having to fork out thousands to repair the Ad-blue system. Already had a blocked DPF which I had cleaned and sensors replaced. They tested my DPF and it is fine for now, but should it clog again, it's coming out too. Problem with modern manufacturers especially the German kind, is that they don't want people to keep their cars longer than 5 years and x amount of miles. They build these vehicles to be scrapped and recycled in an ideal world. I bought mine at 6 years old with 48k miles. I couldn't afford it new, and intend to drive it for many more miles, but that's not how the manufacturers think. They want a continuous cycle of cars being recycled every 5 years. That's the ideal, but most people can't afford that. That's why they have planned obsolescence built into everything, and we end up with all the long-term reliability issues, and the dealers make the repairs as expensive as possible, so that it basically turns people off from driving their cars for so long. It's just a theory I have, which may or may not be true.
My relative bought a vw tiguan 67 plate at 25k miles and he got an ad blue sensor fault. He filled the ad blue tank till the brim and the sensor failed causing the engine not to start. He ended up deleting the ad blue system as he did a cross country road trip, and the vw service couldn’t acquire the part to fix it due to the pandemic
Well said lad, I understand your frustration, I'm in limp mode at the moment, & have researched it that much, I'm totally confused, The sprays E. C. T are redicliciously priced, not a nice situation at all, just bought my van, 2014, cheers for the vid.
You are so correct. i wish I had my dpf removed on a Mercedes CDI 250 back in 2017. The dpf got blocked and pressure sensors triggered my engine warning light. I went all over the place to get it sorted and some idiot reset the error codes with a Snap IT. I trusted his advice when he told me to drive it down the motorway. In the end the engine blew as the car was pushed hard in limp mode. I had to replace the whole engine cost me £4000. F***in hate the b***ards that put these stupid devices into law and ruined the diesel engines. The DPF is an awful device. Those engine regenerations don't properly clean them either. You have to take them out and regularly clean them or get rid of them. You need to burn extra fuel to regen which certainly isn't good for the environment. Just joke laws put in place no thanks mainly to Volvo and the Swedish government for bringing this idea and giving our stupid politicians another idiotic idea to push down our throats.
did a DPF stage 2 on my E60 530D and it ripped through the gears like never before... so much more torque so much more BHP... I was stunned by the engine note and speed ... I now have an F10 530d and the DPF is coming off again 😂
Those e60 530ds are absolute beasts once the dpf, swirl flaps and remap done not a lot that would keep up with them, I have a 2011 jag xf 3.0d with issues atm after my dpf blocked I had the dpf deleted along with the egr but it's still going into limp mode hoping to get it back soon cause she really quick with the remap.
Ben Holland yeah I have a F10 530D and currently planning to do a stage 3 on it with hybrid turbo... I heard I can get 400BHP and 580 ft/lbs torque so definitely looking forward to that
Nice one bud u should put a vid up of it when done, hopefully get mine back this week should be around 335bhp ish but only keeping it for the rest of this year then going back to a big petrol
At last I hear a man who makes sence, but not just about DPF, but about Hydrogen. Why is Hydrogen technology being shelved. Government needs to step in!!
What is the purpose of dpf. To burn cleaner. Well it does until it starts doing a regen. Then it all goes out the tail pipe. That's why you can't get the emissions checked while it's on regen. If a car runs more efficiently without dpf and gets better fuel mileage how is it dirtier?
So true, my bmw dpf kept failing to regen due to it being so blocked up, on each attempt more smoke and not getting better, took it in for a dpf delete, bang on sorted, no more smoke for me and car runs happy as ever
Well said mate.what spastic endorsed it in the first place.?ime an mot tester and will honestly say every car that runs ok will pass with no dpf even vehicles with over 150 000 miles .
Got a 1.6 tdi a3 n the thing keeps going into limp mode because of the dpf 🤦🏼♂️ I’m now having to remove it and get the car remapped because it’s the only option left bearing in mind this is my first car and can have already forked out silly dough to have it sorted the first time round!
It baffles me to think that with all the engineering technology we have today nobody's came up with a legal alternative to the DPF system? As for alternative fuels well there has been quite a few inventors that have made some ingenious creations such as free energy motors there's a guy is Australia whose figured out how to run his motorbike on water, unfortunately the ruling elites obviously don't want us having this sort of technology and will silence anybody who they feel are a threat to the energy industry these guys seriously have too much power
I've an 2010 2.0 Cdti insignia, turbo went at 199k due to a small problem I was ignoring and it clogged the dpf filter so bad as the turbo was full of oil . However , I was always driving the car on the motorway , fresh oil every 5k and always driven hard . No smoke with the dpf on. Took the dpf off and still zero smoke . If your car is good it won't smoke , end of.
Sorry but if a single mom spends 4000£ on a diesel car to go down the road with the kids and then another mile or so, to go to work, she should be advised to go and buy a petrol car. No matter if there is a DPF or not on the car, the Diesel engine is not built for city-hopping anyway and spending money to have the DPF removed is just silly, when those money could have been spent, on buying a petrol engine car in the first place.
John Doe problem is no ones around to help her with a descion and do you think a second hand car dealt is going to say “no love you don’t want the one your intrested in buying” so in a perfect world yes these things should happen but in the real world it’s not the case. Could of would of should of is great in principle. What now as petrols are fitted with PPF (petrol particulate filters) now you can’t be one or the other without a stupid filter in the exhaust. Kind regards SA Tuning
@@MaxtuneOfficial Yes, i agree, if a dealer has sold her a diesel knowing her driving pattern, then he is to blame. Luckily for her, i suspect that it will be quite some years before she will be able to buy a car with a PPF for 4000£ though :) In reality a lady with that kind of driving pattern, should ideally buy an electric car, as she will also struggle to keep the battery from going flat if she does frequent short trips anyway :)
Had diesels since 1992, not buying another one. My partners 2016 Ford 1.6 tdci has been great though, but she is always doing long trip. It's on 105K so due a new dpf.
Had the issue with my a3, always had issues! Even with long journeys. Gutted it and been perfect ever since! I can see the principle of a DPF but it burns it off sooner or later anyway which is still dumping it into the atmosphere. Sure we all have it to come with the new petrol particle filters too
Hey Ben , who did remapped your A3 after DPF delete...Did you get EGR delete too? And if you did, was it just done by software or you get the blanking plate for it?
@@easybaby8547 hi! So I bought a gutted DPF off eBay, and my remap Bloke mapped the DPF and EGR function out without any blanks etc. my mum now owns the car and does short runs with no issues at all and now on 170k miles. The person who mapped it has moved away and doesn’t do the mapping anymore. Hope this helps
Ships use what they call 6 oil. Look it up its tar they use for fuel. The ships that bring the dpf systems in burn enough fuel and put enough emissions in the air to make up the difference and more then the vehicles would without them. I forgot the precious metals they had to mine and the process in a plant to make the dpf systems. What about those emissions.
Was thinking of getting a diesel Corolla and then the owner said the DPF was clogged up. This and that happened then finally stumbled upon your video. I'm deleting mine for sure
I have big problems with my DPF and want to remove it. But with the remove i want to install a water methanol injection system. I read, that it produce less particulate matter and reduce NOX emissions. Has anyone installed a water methanol injection system and noticed less smoke?
Kia carens and now sportage issues. My Mercedes’ sprinter 2008 311 with 180000 miles runs perfect and passes clean. Had work after oil level started to rise. Perfect after tuned etc😜
I couldn't agree more, mines had 5 forced regeneration in 6 months, twice a week i give it a good long run, it still sods about, its a damn joke, only option is delete.
Hello fella, I've got a 2011 diesel forester that doesnt lose a drop of oil or water and the subaru mechanic said I've got a good car. It doesn't give off any black smoke either as the chrome exhaust tips never change colour. I don't drive it mad but I do stay in third gear around town to keep it working that bit harder than it would in fourth gear. What I would like to know is that how do I obtain the subaru rumble without removing dpf or do you think i could remove dpf and hide the fact with a good tune up. Any advice welcome.
Hi mate Got a 2009 Xj jaguar 2.7td..want to delete the dpf..can u do it for me..and aprox what cost..will the removal cause damage elsewhere in the future. My car has done 80,000 miles with full service I only do short journeys all in town.. Cheers
Removed mine last february had mot on friday sailed through didnt even mention it so all these people saying its noticeable on an mot load of bollocks car runs like a dream
I got my car at 40k miles the dpf filter comes on every 300 miles, it passes emissions tests, my last mot the results was 0.2 . I've just spend £40 on fuel while we have no diesel just to clear my dpf, my minds made up what to do now, mean while the rich are spending fortunes going into space, fuming I is man ... us nice get batterys they get jet engine's, ? Weird .
I agree my car is remapped Audi A3 2.0tdi and always chucks a little bit of smoke out anyway and then when itself regions for a little bit It will chuck out a lot of whitish blue Smoke then stops and never does it again until it's next region which is pretty much every day 🤬 so also using more fuel when doing this
Most people don't understand where , how or why these systems were forced on to the consumer.. It was a just think of how much money has been made on these systems when the the people who make them can't even fix them. The solution widely practiced is only to replace them. HELLO PEOPLE, here in the states these systems have caused fairly good sized trucking companies to fold and or go bankrupt do to brand new equipment with these rejin systems failing and when you have 80/90 % down time.... Your customers are not getting there goods. It's a rip off people.
Finally someone speaking some sense !! I've just had a DPF replaced on my transit connect at a cost of £450. Then just 130 miles later all warning lights back on!!!!!! Cutting a very long story short... The garage now tell me my Fuel Vaporiser is now faulty along with the Fuel vapour fuel valve (small fuel pump that feeds the vaporiser) which will cost yet another £500. To top this, the garage are unable to confirm having these two parts replaced and paying another £500 will cure the fault. My question therefore is.... As I've just replaced the DPF and it is practically brand new, would this have to be cut open and the inners removed or could I possibly find an old one to have the guts removed and then put on my van when the system is deleted? Hope this make sense? Finally where are you based?
Turbo man Turbo Man hi There, yes in a word!! You can find a used old one as long as it’s the right part and we can fit that one and fit it to the car along with our DPF delete software and problem solved! For life!! Kind regards SA Tuning
Sounds like you'd be better off taking it to someone qualified for a proper diagnosis. Since the dpf was already changed and it didn't fix your issue deleting it is unlikely to either. Both of those parts you listed could be tested.
I had a 2005 renault megane,it didnt have a dpf, but my 2012 vauxhall corsa has, and it was blocked i cant afford £500 to have it replaced so what should i do mmmmmmm
I've got an adblue fault on my car at the moment, very tempted to get the adblue 'solution' from a local mapper... Phoned a few local garages as well and none of them were interested in even taking a look. Basically told me to go to audi, the stuffs a fucking nightmare! The only thing that puts me off is what happens down the line when I sell the car or trade it in? Will I end up getting fucked if they find out? Or just play dumb? My car is on PCP at the minute but I think I'm going to buy it out at the end anyway so this problem would be... far down the line lol.
Hello. I am Alex from Portugal Here's my story. I bought a VW Caddy 1.6 TDI 75 hp Bluemotion from November 2012. I bought it from VW dealership and was owned by the dealership. It had 102.000 km 63379 miles... After i bought it i made 60.000 km 37000 miles and it was fairly good, no failures no problems what so ever... now last week the EGR valve failed.... and guess waht is comming to fail next?... DPF filter if i dont take care of the EGR, and even if i do take care of the egr the dpf will fail, its just a matter of time. My mechanic told me that he can solve it but it will cost about 560 € about 500 pounds. And also that the new EGR valve may last 1 year or maybe less. So i suggested why not to take of the egr valve, and also the dpf filter? Here in Portugal it isnt ilegal to do it, and the car will pass in the mot. I am not searching for a tunning solution to get a faster car, not at all, cause i use the car to do my job, but i cannot let my car to ruin my finances... nor can i keep buying and selling a car everytime this issue happens. I drive everyday about 50 km at a speed of about 120 km/h wich converted is 31 miles at an averege speed of 74 miles/h. I take good care of my caddy has i use the top oils/filters and fluids, to keep engine ealthy. Even like this the car's engine isnt capable to be reliable. So my question is, can this model VW Caddy 1.6 TDI 75 Hp Bluemotion be removed the EGR and the DPF filter permanently? Thank you very much for your attention. When we think how much emissions you have to trow to the atmosfere to search for platinum, to fabricate dpf filters, to fit them, are we relly being friends to the environment? Thanks
Hi yes, we can remove and delete the EGR and the DPF systems permanently therefore you can never have a problem with the ever again as they don't exist. Kind regards SA Tuning
So if I was to delete a dpf would it cause black smoke or if kept upto date with servicing and stuff be absolutely fine asking for a friend for off road use 😂
My dads a4 Tdi had it done because he couldn’t find another one (this was when they weren’t really able to be cleaned) Edit: has still passed its mots every single time since 2009
great video i have a peugeot partner van and i have had lots of problems with its dpf. the thing is i run my own business as a mobile valeter and i do lots of short journeys and i cant forking out for dpf cleaning just had it cleaned and dont know how long its going to last till it blocks again its a constant worry, was looking into getting a delete but how do you go about getting an mot ? would it pass with a dpf delete? no van no business for me
All of this diesel dpf, def shit means more spending on diesel engine, might as well i stick with Gasoline engine , less problems no issues with engine restart.
BMW Programming & Encoding the problem is now all gasoline engines are having GPF or PPF fitted to the them so a particulate filter for petrols that will fails and cause problems also now so petrol or diesel are as bad as each other now!
@@MaxtuneOfficial true, but for two engines of good condition and similar power, the gasoline (petrol) engine should put out less particulate matter, unless it's a GDI (petrol) engine. Of course, the G/PPF is probably sized accordingly, and so there's no real mileage to maintenance interval gain. Better perhaps to build smaller gas/petrol-electric hybrids that use smaller engines that warm up quickly, and an appropriately sized battery pack to power electric motors, which should be way more efficient in a city car, because electric motors have instant torque. The small engine powers a generator which keeps the batteries charged, which could also power a heating coil for the particulate filter and the catalytic convertor, which would speed up the warm-up process of the emissions controls that rely on being at temperature to do their job. That would also act to speed up the warmup of the engine.
@@MaxtuneOfficial Like everything with cars, it's all about making them OTT to work on... look at an engine bay in a mk8 golf over a mk 4, they've crammed in so much shit it's almost laughable. The add in DPF's and GPF's ect along with all the electronics, sensors and other quite frankly unnecessary shit all built to fail within 5 years (can't sell new cars if the old ones all work) with the intention of pushing to all electric. This is great, no noisy cars, no exhaust fumes blah blah... Thing is, when petrol/diesel is pushed out entirely most of the population can't afford 50k for an EV.
Got mercedes nox sensor need to replacement £900.changed year ago already.and they don't have it 5 weeks waiting time. Disgusting dashboard saying after 400 miles car not start possible 😒
Whether is is my old 4x4 puffing out a bit of smoke all the time or a modern vehicle puffing it out is a 10 minute regen on a motorway it doesn't matter,the same amount of emissions still has to come out.also they programme the modern cars to belch it out on long country roads and motorways. Not in cities and towns.dont think the government's and car manufacturers have thought this through. If it was the other way about (regening in a built up area ) there would be an uproar.
Sa tuning i bought a car last year Vauxhall insignia with remap and dpf gutted Its always black smoked and cars behind me flash and slow down lots Is That normal
PowerLifter LeZ to be honest it could be number of things a small boost leak will cause black smoke, a leaking injector also so it may not be just a bad map you would never see the smoke with mechanicle issues if a DPF is in place but conversely the DPF would become blocked very quickly with these faults too so you would only see them once removed, these issues may have been there it’s just as important to look at why it’s become blocked as well as removing it. Cheers
All the dpf market like electric car, is a big scam! Especially for vehicles meant to be rode in town ( small city cars). Should have the option to legaly remove them and update the registration to euro4, and do the emmission tests like for euro4 or make the dpf cheaper instead of discounts for electric cars who polute more to be produced.
And I say this, because I have a dpf car used mainly in town and sometimes is regenerating every few days making lots of smoke, no errors, no fault on the car...just nornal town clogging. The ideal function of dpf is to colect all the ashes from town trips and eject on autoband, but like this guy said, we dont live in ideal world and driving conditions are not like a test bench ( confirmed with start and stop idiocy). I feel better driving an dpf off car with no smoke than was doing with dpf and making huge smoke after me with often regens.
DPF is just another smoke screen (pun intended) government money grab. The dpf/cats are bad for engines therefore bad for cars. A car that is designed to run like crap is a car that is designed to fail and be replaced with another expensive car to do the same. IF I had a dpf in my 2.2 I would remove and gut it, remap my car then at test time put in the cheap new dpf I bought and remap once more. Rinse and repeat that for the last 7 years and have a car that runs better than it should and legally passes mot. Or maybe I wouldnt, but I would.
right paid 15k on a van a month ago, light came up engine one for dpf 48k on the clock, the add blue came up added that to it from my garage now got 148 miles left till non start, wot a joke wish i had not bought it now ffs, doing a camper conversion on it so if i was say spain or italy and that comes up id would be fucked, got china and the 400 coal fired power stations electric cars on fire 😂😂
