I could not find a definitive yes or no, as to whether the car has a DPF or not. I haven't seen a DPF warning light ever light up, at start up or otherwise.

So, can anyone tell me either way, and satisfy my curiosity?

All the best

Looks like the only way is to check the PR codes for your car.

My 2004 [MY 2005] A8 has "PR-7GN", which is "Emissions concept. EU4, DPF preparation" which I take to mean "we've put some stuff in the car ready but haven't put the DPF in"!!

I believe VAG group cars all use the 7Xy code [where X is a letter] to indicate which prep is installed.
