Hi all,
As ***le, in the course of all the DPF issues had on here has anyone written to Honda UK with regards to a replacement DPF? Mine has started playing up (re-gened twice in 3 months). So am now looking at the options for it's replacement / removal.
I know most will say remove and remap - no brainer - and to be fair this is the route I will most likely take but there are few companies in my area offering this service. Before I commit to this, I see in other threads that others on here have had a good will offer extended from HUK.
Car has 64000 (2009) miles on it and was a company car serviced within the Honda dealership until it was sold to me 7mths ago by the first garage that it was obviously shunted out to when it was upgraded after 3 years. i have had it looked at at the Honda dealership since so although it is technically outside the Warranty period, it is a main dealer serviced car. Hence I am wondering if there would be a goog chance of getting an offer of a cheap replacement!?!
If I end up going for a DPF removal, there is one local company offering to do the job for £450 inc VAT, inclusive of an additional performance remap. My only concern is that this company wants to cut the DPF open to remove the guts and then weld it back together, which does the job but I am not keen on the removal being visible form the outside (I know the heat shield covers the DPF but all the same...
I would welcome any advice (Fahad) on what to ask for when dealing with this local guy - is there a better type of software that should be used? Can an EGR delete be applied at the same time? Should I insist they knock it out and not cut it open? So many questions.......
Any advice welcome as usual
