If you own a car manufactured after 2012, you don't need to worry because
2012 models onwards come with diesel exhaust filter removal. But if they
assembled your vehicle before 2012, chances are it doesn't have a dpf delete.
To avoid confusion, you need to check whether your car has a dpf or not. The process isn't daunting because you need
to check the following parts.
diesel delete is part of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is between the
silencer and the catalytic converter.
There are some car models where it is in the catalytic converter. Run your finger around inside the exhaust pipe.
If it is clean, then your car has a dpf.
The Particulate Emission Filter is found only in diesel cars.Remember when trying to observe if your vehicle has a dpf delete kit.
Check the stickers carefully because they will help you know whether your car has a dpf bypass or not. Look for
stickers placed in your vehicle by manufacturers. You can find them either inside your car or on the driver's door.
The reason to observe these stickers is that they contain the manufacturer's helpline contact.
Through the contact, it's easier to call and determine whether your car has a dpf delete or not. In some car models, the sticker is in the bonnet. Some manufacturers place the
sticker on one of the caps in the engine or the
bumper. Few brands like VW have diesel delete.
You can also tell if your car has a dpf through the oil. If your truck has a
dpf delete, it will require a low content ash oil.
Once you complete these tests, you should be in a position to
tell if your car has a diesel delete or not.
It is good to know whether your car has a dpf or not because the kit requires maintenance or replacement. The
system does not only harm the environment. But your truck will fail the MOT test. In
the UK and some countries in Europe, it is illegal to delete dpf. If your car doesn't have a dpf or you
delete it, you may pay a fine of up to $1,000.
It isn't illegal to delete your diesel, but you can have your dpf delete filter removed from your vehicle. But you require certification by the manufacturer and a new label and issued
certificate.
At this point, you must know that it is illegal to delete diesel EGR delete. The
penalty for emission component
alteration is high.
Diesel delete increases the performance in power from 5-10%. It also
increases the MPG from 30-50%, thus mileage
extension.
It helps lower the maintenance cost because, without a dpf, you don't need to do dpf maintenance.
DPF delete helps increase engine life from 50-100% because there is reduced
wear and tear on the engine.
Without DPF, there is no need for DPF regen that must occur to burn off the excess soot within the DPF. So, there
are no hassles from regen cycles.
It's expensive to replace a dpf delete kit. Also, there are hefty fines that come with deleting the dpf. Even though off-road and racing cars are free from this rule, dpf delete is the best way to go. It is also in the best interest of your wallet.
