Thanks mate, would be quicker next time as I know exactly what to do now 😂😎👍🏻

😂😂 thanks mate, think I’m getting to that stage, a ramp would make it a lot easier 😎👍🏻

Thanks mate, Need any advice let me know, u replacing or removing std internals? 😎👍🏻

After your advice going for engine mount 1st

@MrRichiem3 I’d take that bolt out first, no matter what, there are two ways of removing the dpf, both require an engine support, the way I did it remove the mount, or drop the subframe for access, if your on the drive I’d say remove the mount, I used 1/4 drive sockets for that bolt and bolt came out easy ish, but dot a lot of head scratching first remove the 16mm bolt from the mount then tackle the engine mount /bracket, it’s not a 5 min job but is doable, the other 3 bolts were relatively easy, if access is poor just raise the engine on the support for a bit more space, hope that makes sense 😎👍🏻

Thank you for advice yes makes a lot of sense I'm lacking I've got a big garage to work in so I can walk away from it then try again once again thanks

Thanks mate, As long as it’s blanked at the manifold, I can’t see there being an issue, u would still need to get mapped out, and remove vacuumed line, etc, the only benefit I would see about doing it that way is for the std engine look on mot, to be faire u can’t see the inlet with the engine cover on so u could still swap out the inlet part for better flow, and leave the cooler in for show🤷🏼‍♂️😎👍🏻

Hi mate, if you gut your dpf and refit you will need a remap as pressure readings will obviously be different, reduced back pressures etc 😎👍🏻

Hi mate on first start up in winter, there is a bit more of a smell, but the glow plug module needs changing🤷🏼‍♂️, hotter days you wouldn’t know the difference 😎👍🏻

@330dfam think I should get that done anyway? Don't think they've been done.. or injectors

To be honest, with the covers back on you have to look to see the dpf, the engine cover pretty much covers the egr, I’m confident the engine is healthy and will pass emissions. The misses car has had the std dpf gutted and mapped out with a STG 1 map and that’s flown through 3-4 mots so pretty confident. If your worried but want to do the mods, just gut the dpf and refit, you can blank the egr and keep it on so it looks like it’s working, then you should have a problem, hope that helps 😎👍🏻

Hi quite easily I imagine, the wifes dpf has been gutted and stage 1 map, flown through the last 3 mots not even a mention

Hi mate, I had a quick go with the mount in place, the dpf was fouling on the bulkhead and didn’t look like it would slide past at all, spoke to my mate who’s done loads of them and his advice was to just remove the mount as I had an engine brace, if you got yours out you must be good at puzzles 🧩 😂💪🏼😎

Did you genuinely get it out without removing the mount ? I'm actually doing this job on my car in the morning taken the day off to do it lol 😆

@@justinjones1015how did it go? Do you have to take the mount off?

😂, was a pain but now Iv done it would take 1/2 the time😂, thanks for the support mate 😎👍🏻💪🏼
