Thank you for the update, we really appreciate your experiences!

[@tidysampler585]

I’m glad I found this video. I’ve been thinking about the dpf deletion on my recently purchased 2008 Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.2D. It’s currently on 133,000 miles and the dpf is currently half full @ the .5 reading. But the engine behaves & goes like it should. Except for the odd cough or stutter at particular rev’s. So your video & it’s comments have made me more favourable at removing the dpf & egr completely. But I now feel I need to get the compression & injectors checked first.

[@mihairadupop2491]

Just remove oil cap and see if you have much blow by . If acceptable remove dpf and keep car . Listen to it . If it sound smooth and no blow by is ok

[@stevenJames469]

Great video mate. Straight to points that need to be made, every time.

[@RedlineRevs]

I love this brother's matter-of-fact'ness 🤣. A great video, speaking from experience and sharing useful advice for anyone thinking of deleting EGR & DPF. Well done.

[@Salehyya]

Totally 💯 true . From experience people at my country do delete both DPF + EGR as well as Adblue if equipped , then ECU remapped and programmed again due to these changes. Engine run cleaner and you can put an Engine Oil that have A3/B4 classification which is very good for running longer between oil changes. Additionally fuel burn more efficiently since Oxygen is high as result of deleting the EGR. One thing for those who want to do it , if your DPF works , you can do a custom exhaust pipe , save the DPF to be reinstalled again incase of any regulatory issues. Your engine definitely will last longer as results of this delete. Last advice , use injector cleaner with upper cylinder lubricant often ( every 2K miles ) , your high pressure fuel pump , injectors and your engine will Thank you very much and last longer.

[@mihairadupop2491]

I use at every second full of diesel. I do oil change about 7-8000 km and even faster after winter when i do a bit of idle to warm up, i also change gear oil and antifreeze like at 3 - 4 years old . Oil is cheap and parts cost a lot . I agree with what you say. This engine now rebuild 3 year ago will last me to my pension. With 8 liters / 100 km and 300 hp and 0-100 km/hour in 5-6 seconds this is more than fast enough for me. If i go on highway at 130 km/h and floor it , it goes to 200 in a few second and keep pushed in the seat. Way more than enough !!! I have no need for that like ever . But it feel good to know is there. Sometimes i like to have bit of fun. I think the 635d is a lot of car value for the money it cost . Options very good too. Got pretty much all you want in a car. Navigation is a bit old but for cheap apple play can be added. Music sound excellent, ac is very good, heating too, seats very good and all electric, good lights, i mean what more you want in a sporty car 🤣

[@grahamrobson9292]

I did the same.. saved my T5 from terminal problems and 2 years of soft limp mode. The forced regens damage the engine !!! in my opinion. Once the job was done the engine had a fantastic high revving power. However the true cause later surfaced that the turbo was leaking oil a lot into the DPF and the exhaust manifold was warped causing a pressure leak. However I did not change the oil enough I recommend 5k oil changes or 2x per year.

Thanks for your feedback. I have a question please: When you remove the DFP you remove also the O2, Temperature and pressure sensors also or you keep them? Thanks for your answer

[@mihairadupop2491]

they remain there and the new software will act acc to them being there. I did not remove them. I do not know what the software does but i think it uses them as the fuel consumption seem to be a bit better than when it had dpf. Like 0,5 liters / 100 km better

[@mihairadupop2491]

Pretty much the same. I like to keep litters/100 km, is about 7.5 in the summer and like 9.5 in the winter. I do not need the car much since I got the new van. It got to a point where i drive it just to go out in weekends or if i have a longer trip to keep it moving. The problem when u spend a lot to fix a car ... nobody wanna buy it even at cost of all repairs. So i think is gonna be with me until the day is getting scrapped. Is in good condition, so i will get 5 to 10 years out of it. By than the technology will be on electric or hydrogen we will see. If someone made me a good offer i would sell as i do not need it and we already have 2 cars except this one.

After months of DPF problems and attempts to rectify it with no success I am considering getting the dpf gutted and my EGR blocked for my Mercedes GLA I had two questions. Will I have problems when it comes to the MOT and is there any sort of benefit getting the swirl flaps removed aswell?

[@mihairadupop2491]

I pass Mot with no problems. They can not see inside the dpf as you cut on the weld itself and weld back on the weld. I know how to weld well so when I was done and polished and clean all it looked as before. Remove flaps too as they can brake and fall in the engine. And than is bye bye engine. You can not revive a bad dpf ! if is like 100 k and is bad that is it. Their life is 150k aprox. Is also the fact that engine being older make more carbon and is a cascade effect. I just looked at my tail pipes today as i washed the car. Is all black and full of carbon . And my engine was rebuild i have perfect compression and clean calibrated injectors. Do what i said and stop worry about it or go rebuild your engine and put a new original dpf . If you prepared to spend about 10 k on the car and want it as from the factory.

Hey man, my DPF is probably clogged up, it's in the 'emergency state' and the spiral loop is on the dashboard. Most garages I went to said they could not find any faulty errors but said they were almost a 100% sure it was a DPF. It's a Polo 1.4 2015 BlueMotion Diesel manual, it has only 130.000 miles which is not a lot for considering it's age. The garage said a new DPF will be around 5000 euros!! Crazy, considering I bought the car for around 8000 euros. Do you think a DPF removal and delete would be best in this case? Just to remove the inside filter of the DPF, close off the EGR, and turn off the EGR in the ECU? Thanks in advance.

[@mihairadupop2491]

Yes, and find a good company to make your remap to stage 1 . Don’t even bother to take to garage is pointless. Take off dpf, remove all from inside and weld back and put it back empty. Put new glow plugs on the engine. Block egr completely and remap it. Will be just fine.

@@mihairadupop2491 do you find yourself able to make more short trips also with no DPF? since it can't get clogged up now.

[@mihairadupop2491]

@@cleangodetailer if u do short trips u need 3000 mile oil changes and your valves and injectors cleaned constantly. Valves you should clean anyway every 50 k with walnut blasting. And run a spray clean every 10 k for prevention. Diesels are not for short trips ! Dpf or not. Is about oil temperature and heating up not about dpf. At least take it out once a week and drive it like an hour on highway. You kill a diesel even old ones without dpf in 10 min drives and than shut down and again 10 min next day. Worst you can do for a diesel. Buy a petrol for that. The bmw 635 d and similar cars are GT , thats a grand tourer. Means for a big fucking long trip not go buy potatoes at aldi 2 miles away. 😉

[@mihairadupop2491]

@@cleangodetailer what short trip does is carbon up the engine and the rings and than you lose compression and is game over. There is no fix for it. I do flush every oil change . That helps but if u never done it and u got 130 k … you risk more damage. Flush is grate if you do since the car is new . If the car is full of sludge than that need a engine take apart and clean manually . If it blocks an oil passage to a shaft bearing is fucked . Or to the variable time valves . But if u do flush and 5000 mile oil change since new and clean valves and injectors . You will leave it for your grand kids. It will run to 1 mil km . My dad did that to his old car, he had from new. Car went to scap at 32 years old engine was still original. Still ran just a bit oil consumption. 1.2 mil on the clock. Body was all rusted due to age and interior all worn but engine still worked.
