Thanks for that.. £19 isn't bad at alljonsowman wrote:You don't need a 2.2 HDi specific one, just any generic flexi that has the same diameter will be workable.

I smashed the DPF and cat out of mine, the estate is the same. The cat doesn't give much power increase (I'm told) and the exhaust smells slightly different. So definitely get rid of the DPF innards, but the cat is up to you.
Noticeable increase in mid-rpm power after deFAP and de-cat, even on the standard 136bhp mapEnjoyed the empty B-road blast home immensely!
Huge thanks for that, will size it up etc. 
Thanks for your advice!jonsowman wrote:Mine's running the standard map which is 136bhp, and I've heard just removing the DPF and CAT adds around 5bhp due to a freer flowing exhaust.
However, there is a 180bhp map floating around that someone on here will give you if you want it. This requires de-FAP, but does not require de-cat or de-EGR.
By the way when you de-FAP, I highly recommend removing the additive tank from the car as well. Just chop the hoses, plug them with bolts, and unplug the electrical connector. Be careful with the additive, it's horrible stuff which you really don't want on your skin or in your eye!
Sounds so easy when you put it like that.. thanksjonsowman wrote:The additive tank is bolted underneath the fuel tank on the passenger side, #15 in the below. It's held on by a retaining bracket which unbolts on one side and then unclips from the other. It holds about 5 litres when full, but could be completely empty. Mine had just been topped up by the (unknowing) previous owners. Costs about £30/litre that stuff!
I can't remember the bolt diameter I used to plug them, M4 or M5 perhaps? The electrical connector is on the back of the tank, it just unclips and I tied it out of the way above the fuel tank with a couple of cable ties.
Don't worry, it'll all be very obvious once you're under the car.
Are you going to the rolling road day in Essex? I sure would be interested in finding out the results of both maps.. I wonder if Doggy has put his on a rolling road since the map?oldskoolskool wrote:Flexi hose is 2.25" diameter and about 20cm long.
The files are called 180 and 200 but I don't believe that is the power they make, hopefully the rolling road day will give an insight as I have the 200 file on my coupe and someone else has the 180 file.
Removing egr will increase combustion temprature, however it probably won't be anything near as hot as the dpf regeneration process.

Usually wisest to make sure the softaware works first, BUT it then becomes essential to remove the FAP before it blocks, (which it must do if not regenerated).rwb wrote:Isn't it normal to DPF-delete the ECU before the physical delete?
No simple answer to that one. 500 miles is pretty much a maximum, the additive ecu will determine when based on differential pressure, distance since last regen and distance since last antipollution service. Even with no faults, this will inevitable get below 100 miles in time.Out of curiosity, how often does regen happen? Since each tankful of fuel gets dosed, it must be expecting to do it once every 500 miles or so?
