Display PDF: The diesel particulate filter systems on these engines are poorly designed and prone to serious, ongoing problems. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device designed to remove soot from the exhaust gas of the diesel engine. However, diesel particulate filters must be cleaned from time to time or they will block up. I have seen Class 6 and Class 7 trucks with 6- or 7-liter engines regularly go up to 150,000 miles or more before needing to clean the DPF. Their ultimate life could be in the range of 250,000 miles. Class 8 trucks with 12- to 15-liter engines should attain 250,000 miles and could go as long as 400,000 to 500,000 miles. hi, i would have thought that an easy way to find out would be to visit your local vw dealer, give them the reg or vin number, they should be able to tell you if it has a dpf (diesel particulate filter) tommy :D. 0. RAC Forum - I am at a loss as to whether my 55 plated 105bhp passat SE (new shape) has a DPF. I have read about the regeneration Most of the time, the P2002 code is not serious at all. It is part of the normal functioning of your engine, and you should only go in and fix it if it turns out that there’s an active issue 2. Use the correct oil. Choosing the correct oil for your new van is crucial in guaranteeing that your new van engine produces the least amount of diesel particulate matter possible. Try to ensure you use manufacturer approved engine oil. 3. Check your EGR valve. Your Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve can become obstructed over time with soot and Part of the "package" for DPF removal (or gut) is to get a tune, to eliminate the regen injection & flapper (back pressure for DPF). Just making it clear that you can not remove or gut without a tune. However you can get a tune with DPF still in place.-----Other thoughts: Does your state (feds?) allow unlicensed person work on your emmission? So daughter was trying to buy a 320 d BMW 04 plate right royally messed about so is back looking, she has our old 1.9 pd TDI golf and she does 25k miles per year minimum. Looking at mk5 golf 140 It's why the V10 was taken out of the Touareg. VW did not have a DPF engine for 07-08 and so they manufactured a ton of 06 TDI's to hold them over. '09 was the first year of the 2L CRD engine with a DPF. 2010 the vehicles got AdBlue systems as well. Not all 2010 vehicles got adblue. Biye.

does my vw have a dpf
