Hi,
Has anyone had either a remap or tuning box on a 150bhp mk3 2.0 tdi fr. I previously had an astra and mapped it when I did it nuked the dpf filling it. Any info or recommendations would be appreciated.

Did the same to my MK2 FR+. But that was because I went Stage 1 and did 2 miles to work. Winter just killed the DPF. Do you do a lot of long journeys?

On the bright side, when I knackered my DPF, the only option was a new one. Now everyone seems to do DPF cleaning (even mobile).

I do around 30 miles a day however just a roads not really motorway, will do more research but may just shy away, would have loved to have the 184 however not got deep enough pockets to buy and let alone to insure!

Had a dtuk on my 150. Never had a problem, good gains, not etc etc

If yours is out of warrenty though, get it mapped rather than fitting a box

I had a 2013 2.0 TDI 150 DSG for 2 years, did predominantly 25 miles (40 mins up, 12 miles each way, 1hr back) return city drive every Sunday, from east to west to east London, Tuesday 5 mile return (15 mins each way) with the odd, (once every month or 2 months longer (40miles+) fast ish drive. No issues with DPF. Just the usual active regen once in a while. It only drinks Shell/Esso standard diesel with the odd Shell Nitro Plus diesel. 30 miles a day (assuming 15 each way) should keep the DPF in check. Only 2-5 miles short hop, creats problems.

Does anyone know if the 150 has the same dpf consumption and regen cycles as the 184. Also are the engine internals the same, if so a remap surely would just take it closer to that figure without any problems.
