  In the market for a 2006-2008 S-Max 2.0 TDCi, my mileage/journeys justifies a diesel and I know the Ford DPFs are no too troublesome, but I would still prefer to avoid a DPF car if the choice is there, anyone have any definitive idea of which ones do/don't?

• Ford Focus '56 TDCi 1.6 - Focus 1.6 TDCi DPF issue / post turbo replacement 20 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I have mentioned to him that I have read (on here amongst other places) that the Eloys fluid may need replenishing to allow the DPF to regenerate, he's going to look into that. I'm just wondering if the DPF could be screwed due to the amount of oil that has gone through the exhaust? If this is the case then would the easist option be to replace the DPF?

• Land Rover Freelander 2, 2.2TDI HSE 09-Reg - Freelander 2 - Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) 21 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  When test driving a 2009 Freelander diesel, the dealer assured me that this age of Freelander (registered March 2009) did not have a DPF and that they were only fitted to more recent versions. Is this true, and if so, when were DPFs introduced on the Freelander, and how can I know for sure whether a car I consider has one or not ?  I assume that without a DPF, the concerns about too many short journeys in a diesel car disappear ?
• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - New Mondeo diesel -- DPF regeneration 2 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  I've got a new Mondeo 2.0 TDCi coming soon, according to the brochure it has a DPF. Does anyone with one of these, or a related car, have any tips on DPF regen? I know it should do it under "normal" driving conditions, but I've seen a few horror stories from the VAG forums about the PD170 diesel motors having big DPF issues, and going into limp-home mode.
