Does that mean the new law won't comply to a 57 plate then? So it will still pass the MOT without the DPF?

This is interesting - but come 2012, how will EVERY MOT Tester in the country (many of which dont even specialise in SEAT / VAG cars) remember come MOT time, to check the DPF filter ? 
Mines an 07, so I'll still be good to (DPF) go! Just waiting for things to settle, and the "DPF Delete" procedure be a task most tuners can do in their sleep - with no repercussions.

a hole is cut in exhaust above dpf filter .filter removed exhaust welded up ,soft ware for sensors sorted out and then remap .about 2 hours work. car runs like a dream . gaurantee 4 life also m.o.t pass check out ecuflash.co.uk. my car should be about 240 bhp now with mpg gains

It all sounds so simple. Almost keyhole surgery!
Again, the only real test with such a procedure is long term, how the car behaves / also how the ECU responds with no DPF Filter!
urs is 07 or 57 tho isnt it? yours will have been tested at 2.5 limit rather than the new 1.5 limit for 58 plated cars

Researching the website more - They actually cut a big square plate out of your exhaust system, where the DPF filter is.
Then remove the filter, then weld the plate back onto your exhaust, to seal it up again, leaving a void in your exhaust system, where the filter used to be !
- So yes, I imagine any dealer would know something had been done pretty quickly, with the obvious tell-tale welding work around the exhaust pipe (if you are concerned about warranty).
- No option for replacement pipe, or interchangable piece of exhaust / DPF filter.
Theres a handful of pictures on the website that shows this process.
Still, for the price, it gets the job done (rids you of your DPF filter), looks a pretty neat job + you get your car remapped in the process.
its a 08 plate. the smoke meter reading had Limit: 1.5 on it and my reading was 0.1

Very interesting....thanks from down under - where we don't get anywhere near the options you guys get!

Em! If you want to sell your car you probably need to state that the DPF has been removed. I dare say that the DPF cannot be put back?
Had mine replaced by *** in Chesterfield and kept the original part just in case I wanted to sell the car later! Its simply the matter of replacing the part and re flashing the ECU with the original software! Around 2 hours worth of work!
Also I did do a little research and there is a website chi*tuners that had flagged ecuflas* dont know why but thats what I read!
Just my two pence!
