If you don't fancy the hastle of maintaining the egr, (they are a pain to clean) then as part tof your map have the egr function mapped out so it stays closed, no need to blank it off. Last edited by Silver Streek; 06-16-2022 at 02:52 PM.. |

So the same as without a remap then. If the DPF is being overloaded with soot, of course it clogs eventually. The way to stop that from happening is to make sure everything upstream of it is working properly, remap or no.

If I'm honnest since I've had it removed I'm around 3-4mpg better off zero smoke under load as it's a proper map done on a rolling road to suit the car no jerkiness or lags anymore that I felt previously at certain rev ranges, may be placebo but feels as though it pulls stronger mid range too. |

Yes agreed. 10k services an all filters strictly runs on BP thermos & temps done everything else ran perfect - so once it's time was up it came out and I'm better off for it.

Run whatever brand fuel you want; just add this to it if it's supermarket stuff:
https://www.powerenhancer.co.uk/2-eh...e-booster.html 1 part in 1000ish. Without that I get ~3mpg worse economy on supermarket fuel, and the engine sounds more clattery when you put your foot down. With it I can't tell the difference between supermarket and shell diesel. Adding it to shell diesel doesn't seem to do much, by comparison. |

I've had good experience with it, and I believe it's worth the money, but only just. I started using this stuff after reading a positive review, then went in search of the main active ingredient in its raw form:

However with the current cost of fuel I might look into this additive to use with standard fuel. |

This. It makes me grumpy seeing modern diesels smoking away, or stinking up my car. But I do try not to be the emissions police; I do drive a 3L TD after all.

Well iv bitten the bullet and put a deposit on a 320d m sport touring gets delivered on Thursday . It’s a lci with all the toys I wanted satnav , extended Bluetooth , blue and mileage 136k . It has had a timing chain replaced in 2020 at 122k . It has also had dpf regenerated . Got couple of bits to change wood trim to aluminium. New starter button . Wood trim to aluminium. Only thing I don’t like is brown interior but will hopefully grow on me.

Cool, good luck!
Hopefully the DPF work isn't a sign of something upstream being off. I'd really like a brown interior. Saddle brown. Black is fine, but too damn hot in the summer! |

Hope you enjoy your new car, I really like the shape of the touring body, also much handier for loading full of stuff. Especially if you have a family.
Regarding the DPF, that may have just been the way it was driven eg lots of short journies etc. Check the basics though, it's usually something simple like the coolant not getting up to temp, needs to be minimum of 75 Deg C or it won't regen. If it's less than 87 change both stats. Then check the EGR is not coked up and stuck on. |
