Hi All,
Was curious more than anything if anyone looked into it - had a look and mostly German forums (google translate) seem to mention it but nothing of much substance, some suggesting to just put it in to get the "green sticker" without it really doing much as long as it had the labeling. Seeing as when i had mine MoT'd only emissions tests run were the "smoke" ones and get a pass cause it does not smoke like a truck.
With the ULEZ spreading it doesn't sound too far fetched to just retrofit a filter - though who knows how would government paper pushers would react to that, when checking on website my TDI 90 comes up as having the extra charge, though some members did mention in another thread that TDI 90 was except.
Mrs. fiat 500 washing machine/dish washer combo does have a DPF but still has the additional charge, more i read more i feel government has no idea what they're doing with the matter - while i do not need to drive into London it would be nice to have options if the zone is extended.
https://translate.google.co.uk/tran...pf-nachr%C3%BCstung-mengenrabatt/&prev=search DPF from various models seem to work in the A2, though the filter "cartridge" seems to need replacing every so often.
Looks like a fairly straight forward fit of chopping the catalytic and replacing with the filter. Would be interesting to have option for a self cleaning one but that'd likely require fair bit of modification electronically etc. might be worth while - seeing as DPFs can be had for relatively cheaply.
Thoughts?
