A self employed neighbour of mine retired recently. Whilst working he drove 30k+ pa in his '59 reg Mondeo Tdci. Once retired his motoring became local stop start and his Mondy was in the dealers thrice with DPF problems. Today he tells me it has been disconnected ....not by the Ford dealer, but his DPF problems resulting from short stop/start journeys are now a thing of the past. I was too busy to listen to his story re the technicalities, but find it hard to believe, as I thought that the DPF was an integral part of the exhaust system.
Has anyone heard of this scenario?
