I was under the impression that my April '06 3.0 TDi did not have a DPF yet I've had a couple of experiences recently where during driving the MPG drops and the footwells get VERY hot as if doing a DPF regen. The engine temp gauge shows no change before, during or after however.

Do I have one or not?
 
My '05 3.0 tdi has DPF. You can look it. These are differences
Without DPF

That's interesting to know, thank you. I have read elsewhere that they weren't fitted this early on the 3.0's
 
In 2005 it was optional. Too you can look at the PR codes.
7GN or 7GG = has DPF.
When it has DPF, the exhaust tails are clean.

I wonder if later years have different PR code for DPF. I have no 7GN of 7GG codes in data sheet. I have checked all PR codes and non of them are DPF code. Tail pipes are clean and one day had DPF sign light up on cluster. Car is 2009 automatic, emission standard is EU5.

If its a 2009 it has got DPF.
My 2009 avant has DPF.

Put your option codes in here http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx and it will decode them for you.
 
Hi Roy,

I have already checked all my option codes and there is no dpf code directly there. There is 7MG Emission standard EU5 option code and I'm thinking on later models they must have changed wording of DPF to Emission standard EU5. I have seen 2007 allroad data sheet and there was DPF clearly marked next to engine kw.
 
I have decoded my list and there is no mention of a DPF.
