I'll give you a clue it's not the feckin paper filter . I know they don't work the same but the dpf looks more like a cat .. hence using it as an example a dpf has more in common with the paper filter then it does with the cat a cat is turning one gas into another and burning off any unburnt fuel (pop and banging ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was a member of the Diesel and Gas Turbine Engineer’s Association for many years, but I retired long before all these eco restrictions came into place. Cheers. I’m not mechanical minded at all mate but every time you land at a garage it’s “could be a dpf problem” All these computer systems and dpf type things are the worst thing ever invented in motors, no such nonsense with an old landy where an old fashioned mechanic didn’t “plug it in” but diagnosed problems by holding a spanner on the engine and to his ear and told you what was going on. Few nuts and bolts later, all fixed ! Everything seems so fragile since since car manufacturers made everything “better” ?……maybe it’s got something to do with all the money being made in parts rather than sales ?

I was describing how one looks and is placed to make it simpler for people who don't know. The way your talking people maybe think you can just screw one on and off like a traditional oil filter .

Many years ago, as an apprentice, I “blue printed” a Lambretta engine for use in scooter racing and sprinting. I had a one off inlet manifold fabricated to accept a Wal Philipps fuel injector, opened up and polished the inlet, transfer and exhaust ports and fitted an Ancelloti exhaust , amongst other modifications. It was completely intractable but went like the proverbial shit off a shovel. This was long before the eco nonsense and all I wanted to know was what were the advantages/ disadvantages of having or removing the DPF valve in a modern Diesel engine . Cheers. use to love messing with 2 strokes seeing what did what no dremel back then chart what did you use that was similar have to be carful how far you go don’t want the fuel air mixture pooling jet it better exhaust better reed valve kids dreams a made of lol when i was stripping engines replacing bearings etc me old lady would go fuvking mental when she come in i’ve got the engine in. the oven lol bearings crank in the freezer she hated it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
