DPF

Has anyone fitted a Diesel Particulate Filter?

I thought they came as standard equipment in order to cause repeated expensive visits to a dealer workshop ?

Surely you meant to create repeated expensive visits?

Why are you asking?

If it is to change the emissions category to qualify for emissions zones such as LEZ I think they demand a certificate from a recognised fitter, so it would not qualify if self-fitted. This from considering it when I lived in the LEZ.

There's a bit more than just fitting a DPF. You need the ECU software to monitor it and do a regeneration when its needed.

Why would you just fit a DPF, even if you managed to fit one after market somehow to your vehicle it would do nothing without all the other stuff to go with it, DPF sensors, ecu to perform regeneration etc etc. Im struggling to understand your original question to be honest ???

OP may mean DIY replacing of an existing DPF.

The van he has would not have one originally.

There are dry dpf kits out there that use a replaceable cartridge rather than regeneration. These could be fitted by any exhaust fabrication garage if you have the space under your van.The temps are much lower than conventional dpf's so less of a hazard.

I have one on my VW Crafter work van. How these are supposed to be cleaner running is beyond me. You want to see the s*** it quicks out when clearing the DPF. Why would you want one?

I’m a dope who doesn’t understand these things. Thanks for your help.

This sounds interesting

You're not a 'dope'. We can all learn new things.

then the question is, why would you want to? your van can never be LEZ compliant even with one fitted

Not a dope at all, don't be so hard on yourself
What prompted the question, if I may ask.
These bolt on emission reducing devices added by manufacturers to meet EU standards can be a real expensive pain.
Especially on motorhomes that don't get thrashed for 60k miles a year. In its intended format on a delivery van they are probably ok.
