Default Re: Diesel Particulate Filter Problems

DPF's and EGR's on diesels are a band aid slap stick way of meeting emission requirements, SCR is the best way to go, with the only inconvenience being finding a place that sells Ad Blue or the relatively minor extra expense involved.

DPF's are going to be a big headache in the future when these cars get older, and EGR's put unwanted extra heat back into the motor, and contaminates engine oil faster. At least with SCR you can tune the motors dirtier and then just after treat the exhaust.
