Your not a lover of the ad blue. You had problems with it markjay.? I've had mega problems with dpf on a BMW. I've just watched a YouTube vid of a guy changing over rear sub frame on w204. Made it look easy enough.

Why you say thankfully.? I've had BMW with dpf problems & a pain in the back side. Sister as ,think it's 2015, c220 CDI ad-blue , & she love it, fuel economy is great along with the power she says. Cool markjay.

Yeah true I suppose, while your there doing 1 job. Is the car above , w204, CDI , 2011, dpf or ad-blue.? Thanks markjay.

Hi ya markjay, Yeah seen & heard a lot of this issue. Was told the the frame rots from inside out., that the outside is treated, but not the inner. Doubt I'd be able to use main dealer, something tells me. Not sure yet what to do, If the car still there, & inside is ok, & engine is sweet. I'd...

So sorry petrol Pete, I've only just seen your reply. We did cut the thing, obviously to see if in future we could rebuild it or change internal parts, but yeah...no. There was just a spring & the only thing I can call is it like a speaker. If you can imagine a speaker & remove the magnet &...
