Re: C5 2.2 HDI DPF removeal
Welcome to the world of MoT's and changing regulations......just wait 1/2 and there will be at least 3 areas of advice.
1. Do NOT do it, it will fail MoT
2 Do NOT do it, clean/replace filter/Eolys and stop killing children and puppies
3 Do it, it may or may not work....but I know a guy who did it and it turned the car into gold/ did it got a warning, took it off....
I am at No 2.....fix the car and stop killing puppies (kids...Yuk...go ahead and mow the little bu66ers down its quicker)

Err....having a wang on the motorway is surely dangerous ?
I would not use Redex, however I would give it a good push for 20 odd mins. 70mph in 4th seems just about right.
Did you know you can remove them and clean with a jet wash. Are you getting a "Blocked Filter" or "Low Eolys" ?...... or just a "Poss of Blockage" message ?
Also, what car/year/engine is it ?
Do you have a Lexia ?

Re: C5 2.2 HDI DPF removeal
Take the DPF off, chuck some acidic wheel cleaner in it, allow to sit for half hour and then jet wash all the crap out. Alow to drain/dry for another half hour and re-install. MOT in future will include a check for a working DPF if fitted as OE equipment by the manufacturer.

Re: C5 2.2 HDI DPF removeal
how easy is this to remove and clean?
Would not know where to start.
Last time i did anything mechanical to my car was to replace the alternator.

Just as hard as removing an exhaust, a few bolts and brackets with the odd sensor plug.........its that easy/hard
