Hi, I’m trying to work out if my newly purchased 07 Vito Dualiner has a DPF fitted from the VIN. tried a few of the sites suggested but no joy on the data card so anyone here able to help? VIN is WDB63960123306292. Thanks
 
A quick way is to check your tailpipe :

Sooty = No DPF (or been removed)

Clean = DPF

Try using a vin decoder website to see the datacard. I did try but couldn't get far with the VIN you've posted.
 
it seems there is something wrong with the VIN.
But as a general a 2.1 Dualiner won't be with DPF,
a V6 3 litre will have DPF.

I have seen a V6 with a sooty tailpipe and a DPF. I bought the bl**dy thing believing I was clear of that issue, it became an issue.

T'other and more definite way is go under. Follow the exhaust, just back of the drivers door if there is a silencer box,and it has 2 pipes at pressure sensing points, and a wire from temperature sensor you have a DPF because that's it.
There is always possibility that a DPF has been gutted, but it would need to be mapped out of the ECU, and that would normally be carried out during an engine remap of the ECU.
 
Poke your finger in the (cold) exhaust pipe:

VIN I think should be WDF ?

Euro 4 ?

Well spotted,
and no sign of a DPF.

I'm jealous yours has the auto wipers.
