2011 skoda octavia 1.6tdi 105bhp - Skoda octavia dpf - David lang

Hi , I bought a skoda octavia paid £1500 has 170k miles but full service history

Been running fine 6 months but then we shorter trips in winter dpf blocked up

It would not regenerate we long run so I decided to have dpf gutted out and mapped out

Which I paid £250 for . All warning lights have gone off but cars seriously lacking power now I even have to put it in first gear to go up some hills it's terrible feels like it's in limp mode.

Not sure what to do cars bit old to be spending silly repair money on it.

Something wrong with your modifification - deleting the DPF should release a little more power/torque - which may indicate an issue with the revised mapping - take it back to whoever did the modification and get them to fix it.

Will fail a future MOT.

You have notified your insurance, haven’t you?

Better to put the £250 into having the job done properly. DPF is far more than the filter, its part of a whole system.

No it won't.

1000s of cars running around like this.

Legal? No.

Pass an MOT, yes.

They don't even check.

I would get the engine management system checked out . May be nothing to do with the dpf deletion. Could be a failed turbo or an air leak in the induction system.

Its also showing a fault code b104135 oil level thermal sensor signal too long high

That wasn't there before the dpf removal and map as I checked

Correct ..visually the dpf is still there just gutted out

Removing the DPF internals will increase the exhaust smoke - if that exceeds permitted levels it will fail the MoT. If the mapping tried to increase power that will increase the smoke levels as well.

You need to stop making things up, and look at the real world.

Maybe do some research.

They aren't over reved during a MOT, and the majority of cars pass.

Garages have many ways of getting cars through emission tests!

This is not about old 1970 diesel cars.

Do you actually understand what a DPF does - or doesnt do when effectively removed - and do you understand how mapping gives a power/torque increase?

Obviously I do,

100's of companies offer DPF removal across the county. It's a thriving business, illegal but thriving.

Soot is only turned to Ash when the filters reach a limit. Most cars produce little soot these days.

"Soot is only turned to Ash when the filters reach a limit" clearly demonstrates your lack of understanding - try researching car exhaust particle size.

I won't reply again, I've made my money, in the trade, and retired.

Hopefully some working guys will explain this to you again.

Stop telling people what will, and won't pass an MOT at least

Until you start testing?

Everytime I've met people, with your attitude, I've refused to do work for them.

Its always worked for me!
