Washed the car on Sunday and I have to say i'm very impressed with Audi's DPF.

The car had done 300 miles since its last wash and I couldn't believe how clean the exhaust tailpipes were INSIDE. I mean not even a speck of soot whatsoever.

I thought the DPF would just reduce smoke on a TDI, not eliminate it completely.

When booting it at night in my previous TDI's, I was pretty used to seeing a puff of smoke in the headlights of the car travelling behind but with the Audi there's nothing at all.

Diesel Particle Filter. [Y]

How expensive are they to replace? wonder what happens when the filter fills?

 

[davemk]

The filter regenerates when it gets to a pre-determined level so it "shouldn't" need replacing. Some info:

I love that answer to unblock the DPF --- grab it by the neck and take it for a good throttling!
