Diesel Particulate Filter for Disc 4 HSE SDV6

[areamihc]

I was disappointed to find out my 2012 built SDV did not come with a DPF.

I'm concerned about the health implications and would like to know if its possible to order a DPF from the dealers to have it supplied and installed?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

DPFs in general are a lot more than an add on like a catalytic converter. They have pressure sensors to detect their status and as they become blocked the ecu initiates a burn phase by adding more fuel to burn off the soot.
I don't think your dealer would be able to retrofit a genuine DPF.

There is an alternative though. An Australian company sells a DPF that is sold for use on underground mining vehicles, it could be retrofitted.

I have the website bookmarked on my work PC. I will post it later today.

if it was such a problem. dident you ask before you bourght the car???

and no,, highly dout it we could just fit DPF, there are very very few d4s/sports out there with dpf,

Why is that stiggy?
european models?
is it on the option list?

Sounds like a troll post

Worried about the health implications of no DPF - please...

As opposed to all the chemicals coming out of the brand new leather and synthetic interior? Or emissions from the vehicle in front?

Seriously - are there people in the world that really think like this?

Trust me, you dont want one.

Australian fuel barely meets the standard required to support the engines that run them. If you use the vehicle for stop start city driving it'll wind up spending more time cleaning itself out and burning more fuel than you need to.

Good tech when it can be supported tho.

In a city the size of Sydney, you think there are health implications by not having a DPF on your own vehicle?

You don't want a DPF and you really don't want to pay more for one up-front and then pay again for replacement or removal in 5 years time.

Most international articles state 2012 SDVs come with DPF.

Only after careful reading yesterday on the australian brochure, I realise nothing was written about the dpf. Nor was it on the option list.

Why LR Australia decided to leave it out is beyond me. It would be of very poor taste if their reason is that Aus does not require it.

Euro 5 versions have it, euro 4 versions do not. Australia and NZ are still selling euro 4 versions.

LR leave it out because it would cost the owner more money to buy it, more money to repair/replace the DPF and sensors over the vehicles lifetime and would drink more fuel with the needed regenerations.

If you do not require one to meet legislation, then don't get one.

Your logic is flawed. Please go ahead and eat some poison pill. I'm sure you wouldnt be worried because you're already exposed to so much more poisons out there.

The idea here is to reduce the levels of poisonous stuff, so really I don't see your reasoning.

Furthermore, see Diesel cancer link.

Not everyone is a troll. I love my LR. I'm just ****ed off that LR Aus did not have a dpf. Why so sensitive? I thought this is an avenue for discussion.
