Default Dpf

Who can tell me what A4's have DPF fitted to them seems to be the 170 horse B7's after 2005, but do the 140 horse have them?

Someof the post 2005/6 140's have them, but not all until you get to about 2008.

Bets thing is to check engine code on any you view.

Bloody DPF's are a nightmare! Hellish expensive if they go wrong, hard to look after by the average owner in the real world and power sapping!

I'm pretty sure they'll come up with a better solution soon.

DPF removal and a remap seems to be the way to go, if your going to buy a dull diesel though, may as well be a decent one, BMW all the way. The amount of fun I had in mine on the way to work on Friday you wouldn't believe, the way it handles is unbelievable. The A4 doesn't even come close IMO.

Yup agree on remove the DPF removal bit. We do loads. Then remap on top of it. The software needs adjusting properly not just lights turning off, you need to stop regeneration etc. etc.
