Because of these filters and the EGR valves, I think I'll never buy another diesel again. Diesels used to be very reliable..now due to troublesome devices they are anything but.
The MOT emission test for this vehicle model year is a visual test to make sure that any visual smoke is not excessive then a smoke meter test that measures soot paticles in parts per million (PPM) - this has passed both easily.
Peugeot also made this model & year with the same engine but without a DPF & this vehicle is now pretty much the same as one of those.
A roadside emission test is done along the same lines.
Fitted the DPF and cleared stored fault codes. Engine runs well but 'Emissions Fault' came up on display after a few days. Cleared fault code again & has stayed clear up to now (about 2months).

It'll cost you a lot more than £400 in fines if you fail an emissions test and they find that you drilled a hole through your filter...

Do you know anything about emission testing..?

Not seen the vehicle lately so presume all is well but will ask my mate when I next catch up with him (it's his daughters car).
