My previous car was a 2006 Audi A3 - one of the first to be fitted with a DPF. At the time Audi forums were full of severe DPF problems. Despite this, and despite 90% of my journeys being short hops around town at low speed I never experienced any problem. Theories abound, including fuel type, driving style, luck, etc.

That was the advice I got from LR Experience at Luton. It has also been pointed out that the oil recommended by LR is not necessarily suitable for DPF fitted engines, although this is complicated - generally, DPF engines require a C3 spec oil, but this does not suit all motors. Not clear whether LR motor is suitable for C3 oil (I haven't got DPF so haven't looked into this!). The thread at http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic2863.html relates but may be out of date by now. For those who want to know all about DPF, there's quite a lot on Wikipedia. |

There is an article in the Jan.2012 issue of Landrover Owner International Magazine about the MY 2012 Defender with aprrox 10 column inches dealing with DPF's.
