Thread: Do Aussie 2.2 Pumas have a "D.P.F."?

My dealer gave me a detailed run through of how the DPF works on my 110 I picked up on the weekend. He said if the DPF warning light came on, go for a 30-45 minute drive at 110km/h until the contents ignite and eject from the exhaust.

I can't imagine why he'd go through all of that if the car didn't have one. I'll have to check under the bonnet myself I guess.

My wife's vw polo has a dpf and the light comes on all the time as she only does a short trip to work . 1 month after buying the car the light came on and a day later went into limp mode . I drove it to the stealership and they charged me $200 to do a forced regen cycle . and told me my wife has to drive it with keeping the revs higher to make sure it burn the soot off .the smell from the exhaust after it regens is rank and makes you feel sick .I fail to see the pros outweighed the cons with a dpf
