Hi, just been alerted to this thread via daily email. I've got dpf/egr issues at present on my Zaf B SRi 150 cdti which clearly need sorting asap. I've noted the suggested cleaning method for the dpf, but where is it located on the vehicle and is it possible for a novice non-mechanical type (me!!) to remove and re-fit or does it need to go into a garage for a mechanic to deal with?
Also, while I'm on, I've seen talk on the site in other threads about removal of dpf entirely and (I think) blanking off the egr valve and re-programming the ECU. Is this a solution to the whole dpf problem and related egr issues with diesel Zaf B's? If so, it is easily done; who can carry out the work, and will it create other emissions issues come MOT time?
Any input gratefully received.
Cheers
Holdie
