All the manuals had DMFs. I think all the diesels did too, but they are no trouble with the 6-speed torque converter auto: 2007-2009. No problems yet reported with Powershift from 2009. If you want to ask Britain's biggest user, ask Addison Lee. Tags: buying a used car dpf diesel engines.
In simple terms, a DPF is a filter. Once the DPF has captured the polluting soot, it stores it until the engine reaches a high enough operating temperature to burn the soot, converting it to less polluting ash. 'Passive Regeneration' uses the heat of the exhaust whilst driving, usually around 30 to 45 minutes of a constant motorway or A-road
If I ever upgrade to a younger more powerful 2.2 I feel the need to avoid the dreaded DPF. Some say … that there is no X-type diesel with a DPF! But trusty (?) Wikipedia says that the 2008-09 2.2 145bhp model has one. Also, HonestJohn refers to late 59-reg models having one and apparently a DPF is standard on facelift 2.2 automatics.
K > Stage V. S > 2000 EEC (Stage III) V > Stage IV + Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) 7 > Stage IV. If you read "7" your car is stage 4 without DPF and it must be 90 bhp. if you read "V" your car is stage IV with a DPF then it must be 109 bhp. if you read "S" its stage III, without a DPF and it must be 109 bhp.
In fact a DPF, as a system, would have to be one of the dodgiest, least reliable systems on a modern car. Not because it’s a bad idea - it’s not. It’s a great idea. No lung cancer? I’ll take it. Have that wrapped and sent to my suite. It’s a bad idea because it’s a bolt-on, after the fact addition. It’s a systematic ‘fail’.
Active regeneration is a process in which extra fuel is sent to the exhaust, so that its temperature can be raised in order to burn off the excess soot which is starting to block your DPF. Active regeneration is particularly useful for those of us who tend not to drive long distances. Your car will struggle to burn off the excess soot without
