hi im have a problem with the dpf. tried taking it for a run over 2000 revs in 4th or 5 th to regenerate the filter but no use .. now i have a heater plug light flashing and the engine management light on.. just wondering if i was able to get a dpf delete and remap..i live in south wales, any information and /or reccomeded remapping people in my area would be much appreciated.
thanks
 
Not quite in your area, but there's someone in Ross On Wye that sticks in my head from this or other forums who does it. Have a look around...
Could be in Hay even. Just got a mental bookmark in case I ever need it done, but as I've never even had the light on yet, I could be waiting another 50,000 miles (touch wood).

Hi, I had some DPF trouble which was initially down to a fault differential pressure sensor. This solved the issue but every time I would be in traffic it would come back on. Since then I had to replace the camshaft and remove the head, so far it's never come on.

in any case, you need to get your car on vagcom and see what the differential pressure is across the DPF, if allowable do a forced regen, see link below

i'm interested in getting adpf delete and remap too! (pick up a B7 2.0 tdi cab -bpw engine next week)
any recommendations for the Yorkshire area?
 
RS tuning in Leeds can do it or if you can travel South to Nottingham there is a guy I used that did a great job, I ended up by passing my dpf after it became clogged up as a replacement was too much money, so had a pipe made a got that and the egr valve mapped out
 
rick @ unicorn motorsport did mine and its been absolutely spot on !!!! hes manchester so very central for most people.

Doesn't a DPF delete mean black smoke when pressing the loud pedal?

How are you going about getting your EGR cleaned? I'm considering doing mine just before I get it deleted (software only). Won't be getting a remap as mine is a manual.
