• Mazda5 2010 - DPF light on after service 17 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  Hello   My MPV has done about 39k miles and has just delivered to me from the service (official Mazda). As soon as I started the car, the DPF light was on and remained on during my entire drive home.    I will check with the garage tomorrow but can anybody advise why this is the case. I want to make sure that I understand this when I discuss it with Mazda.
• Ford C-MAX - Particulate Filters 16 Jul 2015 (Forum)
    Will my car pass an MOT without a DPF? Yes!! There is no legal requirement to have a DPF fitted, so it is not required to pass a test. It does NOT affect the emissions, not that there is currently an emissions test on a Diesel in the UK anyway......

• VW Golf MK5 TDi's and DPF???? 1 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Hello All, I thought buying some oil for the Golf (GT TDi 140) was going to be straight forward until I learned that it depends on whether the car is fitted with a DPF or not? D.P.F = Diesel Particulate Filter. I've scanned the user manuals intensely and cannot find any information to state that my car actually has one of these fitted. Is there some simple way of finding out?

• Ford Focus Titanium Estate Td 109 (2008) - DPF Fault 7 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  This week the engine malfunction warning light appeared with another reduction in power. Now the dealer says I need a new DPF & sensor. Might the DPF/sensor have been the problem all along & I didn't need a new turbo?  Is this the type of problem that's difficult to accurately diagnose, or could all these different parts have become separately  faulty in a short space of time, or might the garage not be doing a very good job?
• Vauxhall insignia - DPF 4 Oct 2014 (Forum)
    Look whats written on the confirmation: *** Diesel Vehicles Only *** I am aware that a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is fitted to this vehicle, and agree to take the following actions. I understand that if the vehicle is used for numerous low mileage journeys with frequent stop/starts, the DPF may need to be regenerated.
