Does my car have DPF?

[Beast535]

Hi there

Im just trying to find out if my late 2005 A4 2.0TDI has a DPF filter on it? From what i have read it seems it should not however I want to be sure so I know which oil i need to do an oil change. I have found the one specifically for the PD engine however there is one for cars with DPF and one without. Last thing i need is having to replace a DPF (like on my missis 2010 citroen).

Thanks

If it's a 170 variant it will have a DPF on it and if it's a 140 it will more than likely not have one.

But I found out lately that certain 140's could have one fitted as an optional extra.

Easiest way is to take a picture of your CAT/DPF and we'll be able to tell you what it is.

Its a only a 140, as soon as I get chance ill post a picture of the CAT, I believe it doesn't have one however i just want to make sure.

Dont want to damage it as ive only just got it

Welcome to the forum pal and also Audi ownership!

If it looks like this it's a CAT

If it looks like this it's a DPF

Thanks a lot for that, it looks like its just the CAT version (thank god), ive attached a picture.

Them DPF filters are just a pain in the ***, no end of people I know have had to have them replaced or regenerated.

Again thank very much for the help
