Dpf delete

Postby longhair » Tue Jun 03, 2025 4:11 pm

I'm looking for recommendations for getting my dpf deleted in the North west. I can do the manual work myself, but obviously I will need the pdf deleted from the ECU, so I wondered if someone on the forum who had theirs done could recommend somewhere.

:lol: Whilst our illustrious leaders continue to rack up air miles doing nothing in particular, and allowing imports of cheap goods made in China, who have no qualms about polluting the planet, why should little old me bother :?: :P :mrgreen:

Didn't know that about the new emission testing machine's being rolled out, I'll still be getting shut of the dpf though.

Been doing a little reading about this in the UK.....and it may not be just an MOT fail, heavy fines for vehicles with emissions systems shown to have been "tampered with".

Not an issue here in Aus though.
