Hi, I'm quite new here and spent ages looking for a guide on removing an early (2008) A5 3.0 DPF. I couldn't find one so blindly took on the task with a mate (albeit a mechanic) and managed to do the full thing (removal/customising/refitting) in a morning. We read some bits and bobs about the turbo needing to come off, engine mounts off, gearbox out etc. but this isn't the case, at least not for us.
I'm far from an avid mechanic but if anybody is planning on removing their DPF for any reason and needs any pointers/guidance etc, drop me a message or reply and i'll try to help out best I can. If there's enough need for one, I can also put together a rough guide from memory and possibly include some photos.
Cheers
Mat
