Hi all,
I have been reading up on re-maps, DPF removal etc...
Does anyone have any first hand experience of having DPF removed? All of the tuning websites say it's safe, improves performance AND mpg... does not increase emissions to MOT failure levels etc... but then again, they would wouldn't they?! They are not going to make a service they offer look negative!
I cannot seem to find any personal opinions on this specific to Mercs (namely W204s) anywhere. My Pug that I got rid of recently only had 57k miles and the DPF was screwed on that, was running in LIMP mode etc... and the cost was £773 to replace and refuel DPF. I imagine with a Merc that cost will be much more - so something I can have done for a couple of hundred quid that can prevent any of this, and offer better performance and economy is obviously very appealling - IF it is for real and does not lead to other issues (shortened lifespan, worse future problems etc...).
Any advice on the matter is much appreciated! Cheers guys!
