I can see most people just smashing the innards out of the standard dpf rather than removing it completely now.

The MOT tester isn't gonna waste time seeing if the DPF is mapped out surely?
Some good news though, I ain't got one

I should hope you haven't got one, they only ever fitted a DPF to the twintop in the Astra range Originally Posted by III_ASH_III

It's one of the reasons I didn't go for a 1.9 CDTi Twintop Originally Posted by III_ASH_III
