Thread: DPF??

Hi Baz,

Mine is a 09/11 TDV6 and I am fairly certain that mine does have a DPF. My manual implies that it is.

I am a no expert in mechanical matters at all but there is a thread somewhere in the d3/d4/rrs section that someone who is much more knowledgable than me described how to find it on your vehicle - under the passenger side somewhere?

I tried to find the thread but could not remember what the original title of the thread was - hopefully the original poster can help you out.

mine is a 2011 model and doesn't have a DPF

I had a look on the Disco3.uk site, they say if the 8th letter of your vin is G it is there and M if it isn't, the 8th letter in my vin is a number

I can only assume the vins for Aust are different.

Graeme told us about the DPF. It is located under the passenger seat in the exhaust pipe if you have one. I thought mine had one but when I looked there is nothing but a straight pipe and a spare mounting point for it if it was fitted.

Hi all
All 2.7's in Aus do not have DPF.
Was only introduced for the 3.0l.
If u have a 3.0l, your vin will have a G if u have a DPF.
Eg: SALLAAAG incl. DPF, SALLAAAF no DPF.

Cheers.

Hey Baz,
You have the same as me, a 2.7 so it will have a 1 there.

We are taking the car to Trivetts next Friday, they going to see why our economy isn't very good, I thought having the DPF could be why the economy was crap, I like Trivetts, they have restored my faith and have always been good to us.

Thanks all,

Baz.

Thanks Pete.
First time someone has come up with a simple way of finding out whether they have a DPF or not.
