I can see some sort of silverish long thin radiator type thing but that is all...this runs flat underneath the car directly underneath the drivers side-is the DPF above this, which means it cannot be seen?
Some pics from somebody to compare would be good please...

Is that not the fuel cooler under the seat, from reading i thought DPF, then cat, then pipe to rear, maybe middle box and then back box. saw a pic, it is a round ball at fromnt of exhaust.
That is the fuel cooler!! with a long cover over it will be modifiy mine with a NACA scoop [simlar to what VW golf/passat have on the front under bib of the engine - when the weather improves

Good job M.Shark
I'm just about to remove PDF from my a3 2.0 170 tdi - I know that you did it , and my question is _ How your " ex seat tdi " behave , and If You had any problems in longer period after changes made _ ?
Thanks

I dind`t have any problems removing the dpf and no light came on...
The only thing that bothered me is that the ECU is programmed to make a periodic regeneration in the particle filter, although the car didn`t have it...What happens is that the sound of the exhaust becomes very loud ( like a Remus in a bad condition lol ). But you can be relaxed, because these ends in 5 minutes... Sorry my english.
Cheers.

PDF - Done and dusted
Hi M.Shark
I finally removed PDF , and don't have any faults on dash
Big respect for You and your knowledge Once again well done.
My next step is to blind EGR on exhaust manifold ( already done once, but had fault every time PDF got blocked -I don't have it now, so should be ok ),and valve it self ( need to use resistors) .
With all this done I should get about 220BHP (I had 207BHP_ GIAC Remap _ ,before changes been made)
I will put my car on dyno when finished it all , and let U know
Regards

The DPF is what is in the PD170 engine.

From a standard turbo, you should be able to get 240bhp. a PD170 with DPF in place can give up to 210bhp. taking off the DPF alone can yield an extra 15bhp. Another benefit of the DPF removal is that a more aggressive map can be used as you don't have to worry about clogging up the DPF. Couple the DPF delete with a non-resonated performance exhaust and you should be laughing. i'm looking to remove my DPF, but sorting the suspension and brakes before i get it done.
So what do you do when you need an MOT just bolt it back on?
Also what about road tax, as emissions will be enormous without the DPF

Yep, u just bolt it back on for MOT. With regards to road tax, u just pay same amount as a non modified tdi fr. Aftermarket modified cars don't have official emissions figure to get taxed on.
And I guess if you have an accident and it is noticed to be missing (long shot i know) you would be completely and utterly f****d!
