[QUOTE="IsaacVky, post: 377169, member: 12652"] We don't have it in the 1st place because of the local diesel quality. So I guess retrofit is pointless else they should have came with the car. (but why low quality diesel can't work together with DPF?) After a bit of google/wiki/definition et cetera, DPF is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot [COLOR="Red"]from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.[/COLOR] [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/FAP-Filter_Peugeot.jpg/180px-FAP-Filter_Peugeot.jpg[/IMG] Which means its a post-combustion filtering, not the normal pre-combustion diesel filter that sometimes you need to drain water out lagi :stupid: It needs proper maintenance. 'Filters require more maintenance than catalytic converters. Engine oil ash builds up on the surface of the inlet face of the filter, and will eventually clog the pores. This increases the pressure drop over the filter, which when it reaches 3.6 pounds per square inch (25 kPa) or higher it is capable of causing engine damage. Regular filter maintenance is a necessity.' My guess is, our local diesel is too horrible that the DPF would clog so many times in the 3 years BSRI therefore BMW removes it to avoid warranty claim. Moreover Malaysia government tak sayang environment pun, diesel hanya euro2m, saye punya engine dah euro3, cukup la :listen: [/QUOTE]
