Hi guys totally brand new to all this's So plz bare with me.
I have a 57 plate vito sportx that's gone into some kind of limp mode!! I can drive it through the auto gearbox with out any real issues but waiting for the gears to change up and down whilst in drive is non existent. I've had it...
I have two Mercedes vehicles which are down on performance and have mpg's 25-45% lower than when I first purchased them and I believe the issue is down to the DPF factory fitted to both.
The C220 '09 Blueefficiency has been to Mercedes for a forced ReGen of the DPF after an engine management...
I thought all later models had them but it turns out my 2009 model did not come with one according to the chassis number, apparently it's an option and as mine ended 745 it didn't have it .
Not that I really minded either way but just thought they all had them.

Im considering taking my '08 Mercedes Sprinter to an independent garage to have an 'invisible' delete and reprogram on the DPF for £400
I have taken my van to a Mercedes garage several times to try and figure out what has been the cause of thick white smoke which appears after every 150 miles...
Has anyone had a DPF cleaned by Ceramex?
I have e mailed them to ask how much for my 2006, 108k, E280 CDi.
There are no warning lights on but I'm sure there will be some blockage after this age/mileage.
:cool:
Hi Guys,
Only had my precious s320 a week however I encountered a problem on Friday with the yellow engine light coming on so through recommendations from this site I went to stephen at knightswood service Centre Limited in Glasgow.
Anyway they plugged it into a laptop ( I assume STAR) and...
My brother in law is looking at a replacement car and is looking closely at Audi A4 Diesels around the 2010 range.
Given that he lives in the middle of nowhere with no traffic and 99% of his journeys are less than 10 minutes long I was thinking that a DPF equipped diesel may not be the best...
Hi, can anyone help me - would be much appreciated if you could. I've downloaded the datasheet for my VIN, and I wasnt sure whether you could tell from that if I had a DPF or not. Its a 1997 E320 Cdi estate. The data is below. Thanks for your help.
VIN check the other cars in this group...
I've been informed that DPF removal, and catalytic converter removal is a big no-no as it may fail an MOT, stopped by DVSA etc, but I can't seem to find any info / diagram of the C250 CDI exhaust system.
I've been informed by Acid and Imran at MSL that the best option for my car is a Y pipe...
After 5 happy years in my W203 Estate it reached 200k miles so I decided to sell it and upgrade - as I sit here I'm waiting for an eBay idiot to come and waste my time, but beggars can't be choosers, and with that high a mileage and bodywork with scratches, flaky paint and a couple of bruises it...
I'm new to dpf engines, I've always run redex in my cars.
Is it still ok to run it on engines with dpfs? As the user manual recommends that you don't use fuel additives.
Thanks
I've just been given two bottles of Forte Cleaner, 1 is the usual injector cleaner that I've used in the past so happy with that. The second bottle is DPF cleaner & I don't think that my W203 C220I has a particulate filter so my questions are;
Would it safe to use in my car ?
Is there...
Does anyone know from what age Vito's were fitted with DPF's and if so which models.
I know that the 109 Taxi Spec Vito comes without but I am looking for one of the higher powered versions, a 116 or above ideally, without.
I do low mileage and a DPF fitted model would cause me issues...
Hi
We are currently almost in a done deal with a 2008 S320 CDI, which has a DPF, however before putting the payment down we just want some last minute advise on this topic. i checked with my local indie, and he told me about these additive type products, which aid the regen process,
he said...
Apologies for asking for more help/advice
I have a w221 2008 (58 plate)
I accelerated sharply to join a dual carriage way this afternoon and glanced in my mirror as I left the other cars behind
I noticed a plume of smoke in my wake. I have had cars with DPF's previously and never noticed this...
Coming home today I was 16 minutes entering a roundabout from about 200 metres and exiting it. I was still in slow moving traffic for the next section but noticed the car was in a higher gear than necessary, and it would change up manually.It was also jerky when coming to a halt at junctions...
