It is possible to remove the diesel particulate filter but you do need to have have the engine management file "engine map" altered to remove the "regen" process. Please read further down so you understand what the problem is, what caused it (probably) and what services we can offer to provide a permanent solution What is a DPF? Well the new modern diesel's dont smoke like they did 10 years ago right? Well they do (ok not so bad) but someone came up with an ingenious plan..

The plan was to catch all the black soot in this device while your driving around town then blow it out all in one go in the countryside. All in the name of the environment. Bottom line is that "soot" has to go somewhere, so what is so environmentally green about dumping an entire months worth of soot on the side of the motorway?
Think back. Do you remember seeing that quite new looking car belting down the motorway with what looked like a blown engine? Chances are that the engine was spot on. Chances are the ecu was performing a regeneration cycle!

On modern DPF equipped diesel engine the regeneration cycle is not much more complicated than pumping in vast quantities of diesel into the exhaust side of the engine, far more than could ever be burnt properly, in an effort to heat the DPF up enough to effectively blast the contents of the DPF out the back of the car and into the air vents of the poor driver following it.
There are two most likely for a blocked dpf.
The first is the most likely, that is your journey type and driving style.

The DPF or "soot catcher" has been doing its job properly. But the chances are if its been a long while since you have maintained a constant speed, on a decent run in top gear - fifth or sixth the ecu will not have cleaned the dpf out.

End result of lots of town driving and simple commuting to and from work, dropping the kids off at school etc (normal driving) and a DPF that is unable to clear itself.
You can try going on a long run, but its not easy to go down the motorway while its in limp mode.
The second reason why the dpf has failed could also be it has simply come to the end of its natural life. Even if you have driven plenty of motorway miles and you have been lucky to have experienced a chain of successful regenerations, a dpf will not last forever. Each regeneration will leave a very fine layer of ash residue behind, and ultimately this will become the cause of the blockage.

Further forced regeneration cycles will not clear this. These units are a serviceable item and will need replacing sooner or later.
Well... you can either replace it or remove it. If however you have this problem because of your urban driving habits your likely to just repeat the problem with the next one, that will cost four figures from the dealer dealer.

However, you can remove it and we have done so many times on these vehicles over the last year or so.
Removal is considerably more cost effective than replacement, and its a permanent fix, and yes it will still pass an MOT.
So I can just take it off?
Well.. no. often there is a serious amount of work to remove it for which you would need the car raised from the ground and a number of workshop specialist tools.
What is dpf delete? Once the DPF has been removed, the engines management system has to have the regeneration process removed from it.
