I read the link at the top of the screen about dpf filters and it fitted with what my car does.. Cant describe it too much you need to read it for yourself to get a better picture. When regenerating,I generally find the car revs at just under 1000 rpm and feels a bit lumpy as tho it might stall, during this time i notice the car feels more responsive feels faster - conflicting i know! Just my interpretation, also therre is sometimes a slight burning smell but this is only occasionally. But, I know my car and if I continue to do short stops after these factors, the light will come on shortly afterwards.

Hi,
Still awaiting enough people to get behind this before the development is worth considering.
I believe we currently have a total of 2 names. For us to warrant carrying out this development work we will be needing many more than this.
Anyone who is interested in this development please PM us with the details asked for on the previous posts and we will look into this.
Many thanks.

Not wanting to P**S on any bonfires or I might be missing the point but wont DPF deletion on vehicles produced after 2010 lead to legal issues. I can understand on pre 2010 when some vehicles had DPF and some did not, you could get away with a bit of smoke out of the exhaust on acceleration.
However as of EU5 and the legislation on particle matter all vehicles have DPF (in one form or another).
So to me and maybe a plod with any idea, if you’re behind a vehicle 2010 onwards and it kicks out smoke, it has been modified. As such it no longer meets EU5 emission and is there for illegal. Thoughts?

Hi,
As I believe it to be, the EU5 legislation is not in play untill September 2010, from this point all new vehicles will require a DPF filter.
Any vehicles pre September 2010 do not have any legislation holding over them with regards to the removal of the DPF filter.
There are millions of vehicles running Europe wide which are running on non TUV approved suspension ,brakes, de-cat and sport cats, with them not being TUV approved they do not meet the legal standards for road use and should therefore not be used on the road but will still pass an MOT?! is this not a similar problem?
The EU5 legislation currently does not inform me of any changes in MOT regulations only in the manufacturing limitations therefore there is still a posibility of a EU5 manufactured car passing an MOT on EU4 regulations.
I found this link which tells people about the EU5 legislation, read it your self and let me know what your take on it is!

I make it january 2011 that EU5 applies to All vehicles, september 2010 it applies to LCV and special needs vehicles? (autistic cars?)
Would it be wrong of me to say "It's a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Straight 8. Fireball 8. Only 8,985 production models. Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway. But not on Monday, definitely not on Monday." ?
I suppose if you are getting grief from your DPF, you may well consider removing it. Personaly I have had no issues with it and am a bit too concerned about voiding the warranty to chance it.
Good luck to anyone who goes for it though!

They cleared it for nothing as apparently there was a fault with the DPF ecu and it needed recoding, though they said generally it's £40 (half hours labour) to do it.
That was 300 miles ago, and today, i had to do another regen run, thankfully this time i knew more than last time and it cleared properly.

Hi. Just wondering how good is the car for driving instruction? I heard it's quite easy to stall. My fabia 1.9tdi is very difficult to stall and very easy to teach in. Also how is the realistic mpg for tuition? Am thinking of changing cars in the near future as mine has done 113k. thanks.
Hmmm it's definitely very easy to stall - I know I wouldn't enjoy learning to drive in one.
Although I'm sure someone on here did say they were a driving instructor with one, so I guess it must be ok.
I'm well used to it now - but I'd say at the start it was actually easier to stall that my old 1.4 petrol mk3 Ibiza.

Can't say I have had any problems stalling mine and I think it would be a good car to learn in. I find it realy easy to drive.
talking about easy cars to stall. anyone tried a mazda 2? fooking joke. they make ibizas look like autos.
Hmmm I guess it depends on the type of car you had previously, but it definitely required a completely different driving style compared to my 1.4 petrol, or any other diesel I've ever driven.
On the whole though it is definitely easy to drive, steering is really light round town which is great.
Don't know how a new driver would feel about reversing though - the 3 door has pretty poor visibility, but I guess it's no worse than any other modern car!

The missus had 1 before she gt new polo
. The mazda 2 has the shortest clutch ever i think but its an excellent short shift gearbox. I agree the new ibiza does stall rather easy for a diesel however
I'm hoping that I'll keep developing my feel for the clutch, as even after nearly 9 months, I still have to boot it like a chav when pulling out when it really matters as I don't have the confidence that it won't stall at the crucial moment and result in me being t-boned.
Still prefer it to the petrols i've driven recently though, the biting point always feel in the wrong place on the petrols
