Better off cutting it out, and having it turned off in ECU, its not worth replacing it for $6K when the car is worth $8K unfortunately. |
Agreed mate. I've just bought a Grand Cherokee diesel with the DPF and it worries me as I intend to keep the thing indefinitely. Some Jeep dealers are now claiming that as the DPF is a filer, it's not warrantable!!! with any luck, someone will come up with an
ECU byapss and gut the damn thing for GC's.
Presumably though, there's going to be a nice cottage industry for someone to cut DPF's open, clean out and zip them back up.
