particulate

It's time to replace my E320CDI Estate and I would like a used E350 CDI Estate (post 2009 model), as I particularly like the six cylinder engines, but I am dithering. First:- I have now reduced my motoring from 12k miles per year down to about 7-8k mile,pa and I am wondering if this is a...

Hi I have a 2011 c250 class coupe cdi, what I would like to know do I need to top up fluid for particulate filter, I hade a pug in the past and had to buy fluid for filter. Does these cars use addblue or anything like that Cheers

Hi, I read on the Normfest web site that EuroCarParts are the GB dealer for Normfest products and I am very keen on knowing if Normfest DPF100 cleaner does realy clean or is it just snake oil with beautiful video attached... Can anyone enlighten me? I believe that what can be cleaned does...

I have a 2005 (55) W220 Diesel. Can anyone tell me for sure whether or not it has a particulate filter. The vin is WDB2200252A462478 and engine no is 64896030114192. Thanks :)

Hi all, I posted recently regarding SBC pumps and DPFs but the thread ended up concentrating on the SBC pump problem I have. So I'll ask again about DPFs on the current E Class range. I'm considering trading in my 2003 E270CDi for a 3 year old E Class but most of my mileage consists of shorter...

Just been thinking about the issues that are associated with DPF's and it would appear that some manufacturers have better successes than others when it comes to reliabilty of the DPF's they fit. For example the 1.6HDi engine fitted to Citroen, Peugeot and Ford seems to suffer badly from DPF...

Hi everyone, currently have a fault code showing on my clk 270cdi p1189 vacuum intake shutdown. If I have a blocked DPF would this cause this error code and stick the car in limp mode. I have checked vacuum lines and cleaned EGR valve valves open at about 15Hg. The fact that it says "shutdown"...

Hi Kindly can somebody inform me if E class W211 320 cdi, V6 ,7speed, has or not a particular filter ?

Hi All, From looking at Parkers guide for the c220 cdi W203 it seems that pre 2004 cars do 43 mpg combined and post 2004 do 39 mpg. it it the case that the DPF has sapped mpg? If so is it worth avoiding the post 2004 models? Curiously, the C270 CDI which I am also considering, doesn't seem...

I've seen references to this being code 474 but contradicting statements that it is 926. Does anyone know for definite? The car is a W209 CLK220CDi. Cheers :).

On an earlier thread on the use of low ash oil I asked what the life expectancy of the diesel particulate filter was and its cost. Having now read this article http://www.dieselnet.com/news/2003/08daimler.php the last sentence states : ..... The Mercedes filter, in contrast, operates without...

According to my display I needed to add 1 liter of engine oil. Quick read through the manual shows different oils for C220 cdi with and without the particulate filter. My local dealer said it didn't matter and sold me the Mobil 1, which seems to be for the engine without the filter. On reading...
