st tdci 2.2 does it have a dpf

zxjon · Sep 26, 2009

Hi all,
New member so be gentle,
Looking at buying a 56 plate mk 3 st tdci estate tomorrow.
Does it have a diesel particulate filter in the exhaust or is that only the new mk 4 .
My previous car had one and had nothing but problems with it and they £1000 to replace.
Thanks Guys.

Welcome to the site.
No dpf in the mk3 introduced in the mk4.

Thanks for the reply.
U put me at ease with that.
DPF's are a bloody nightmare, all for emissions.

I agree. You have to make sure the burn cycle is activated or they get clogged up and cause all sorts of problems. Glad we don't have them !

Because that would just be another thing to fuck up.
