DPF Delete Evoque

whats this DPF delete software about? any benefits http://fr-rtuning-shop.co.uk/index.php?_...ct_id=3109

Graham, anyone would think you worked for them with all the links you post

Anyhow, if you remove the DPF Matrix (like at Cat on a petrol car) the engine should be freer breathing and as the theory goes give you more power. If you remove it however, the ECU will chuck up errors as the emissions reading are out of range, so at a guess this module blocks these errors. QED.

I am pretty sure that this is now checked as part of the MOT test, so deletion of the DPF on a vehicle where it was standard will result in a fail??

I was told that that was the same for cars with Catalytic converters. My Defender left the factory with a cat fitted in 1996, is was removed in 2003 and has passed every MOT to date, including one this morning and every time the testers comment that for it's age the car has very low emissions........

Correct. Under new MOT rules effective 1/1/12 as advisories, in force from April 2012, CATALYTIC CONVERTERS / DPF missing where one is fitted as standard will fail!

It may also be illegal to run a car (which is meant to have one, Section 67 of the Road Traffic Act 198 without a cat so look out for Police/VOSA emissions tests. Although they tend to pick on tuned cars such EVO's.

Although, currently it's 3 years before your first MOT which could soon be changed to to the European 4-2-2 system.

Well that solves my situation then Sarcastrix, my Defender had it fitted as an optional extra in 1996. It has only been standard kit since 2008 IIRC.

oh thats for clearing that up, sound interesting and beneficial for longetivity of the turbo, surely a free flow exhaust will be better. I'll wait until the summer before I seriously consider getting this done. MOT isnt really a problem there are plenty of garages who will pass it
