Hi - new to the world of 406's but not to diesel's (had C220 previously).
Got the 406 2.2 Hdi estate for the economy & to fit the dog in.
It is flashing up on the trip computer clean dpf urgent message - sporadically.
I have had a read on here about remapping to "remove" the DPF, then physically disconnecting some sort of connector?
As you tell I am not mechanically minded.
Can someone recommend where i can get this done for me, i am in NN8 postcode.
Thanks in advance

You can buy this from ebay etc. so if Doggy can't get to you there'll probably be someone with it who can

Hi & welcome to the forum.
Have you read my howto?
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12487
I can help you with all but the physical removal of the element, (some of the guys have found an exhaust place prepared to do that bit for £20-30 if you don't want to attack it yourself).
Let me know if you want any help or info, (I'm at NN17).

I have a local friendly garage who can likely do the physical knock the innards out. I'd be grateful if you could do the electronics bit. can you do that then i get the innards removed? If you let me know how much & we can make arrangements.
