Not being dismissive, but good luck.

Having read many many times of the problems associated with DPF removal and EGR removal even here on the forum, I wish you good luck.
To add on a remap at the same time you are very brave.
Before you take the plunge please do some research through the many topics here on the forum, covering the individual components of your plan.

In view of the current world problem with Diesel engines and emissions is it a good idea to be making changes to any diesel vehicle engine at present.?
The world will be having a witch hunt on the possible pollution from these cars.!

That's what a forum search button is for. Look around.

It is indeed a failure but I think that at the moment the check is purely a visual one and if the filter has been removed and the casing welded up then it may not be apparent that the DPF has been removed and that is what people are relying upon. I have seen recent references in the papers to the MOT being tightened up to test for the presence of the emissions rather than simply making visual check that the filter appears to be still there. I suppose a simple way would be simply to rev the engine and watch the soot being blown out of the exhaust, this would prompt a closer check on the DPF housing perhaps.

Car was done over a week ago now, no problems whatsoever!

I'd rather have a car perform properly than be lugged with constant DPF problems and before people comment i do 50 miles a day (motorway)

it is a visual thing for MOT's and with regards to the revving and soot production...there is none :)

power delivery is much better, smoother through the gears, torque figures are great!

And best of all MPG is gone from 42MPG around town to 55MPG

and 52MPG motorway to 65MPG

Thanks guys  :D :D :D :D ;)

Just a few more tonnes of Diesel Particulate floating around in the atmosphere to ruin peoples health.

Thanks. :(

nowadays its not only diesel that will ruin your health.

im sure there are other things our wonderful government doesn't tell you about

and besides you still get those particles with a dpf just in one big blow out on the motorway. :)

Not true. If a regeneration is done correctly it involves burning the soot to gas at a very high temperature, leaving behind only a very small residue.

PM (Particulate Matter)  is made up of a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles, including carbon,complex organic chemicals, sulphate, nitrates, ammonium, sodium chloride,
mineral dust, water and a series of metals, which is suspended in the air. PM10 refers to particles with a diameter smaller than 10?m and PM2.5 to particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5?m.

After a full regeneration the PM emitted falls below the PM2.5 category.

Air pollution causes an estimated 29,000 early deaths in the UK, and has annual health costs of roughly £15 billion.
The health effects of PM are more significant than those of other air pollutants. Chronic exposure contributes to the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer. Current evidence suggests that there is no “safe” limit for exposure to fine particulate matter.

That's fair enough but you have old diesels chucking out tons of crap.

It won't get better unless they try and tighten up laws which won't happen.

Anyway passed MOT today as well  :)
