    C220CDi 54 plate.

    Good evening, have the dreaded DPF failure and wondered if anyone know how long labour wise it is to change a DPF on a 54 plate C220CDi ? I have a replacement unit off EBay and wondered how much of a job it is. Any help with regards to sensors etc would be much appreciated, thank you.
