When removing the dpf on this vehicle please ensure you are removing the diesel particulate filter not the catalyst! Easily mistaken for the cat, the dpf (can) be found infront of the catalyst, which is located just of the turbo. However it can also be located in the middle section of the exhaust. You will be able to tell if it is the dpf or the catalyst by checking the filter material inside the exhaust when removed. see pics

  • jammed/stuck egr valve
  • swirl flap failure
