Spray the sponge black and it would be great Good find, hopefully the new com2000 i put into the car in 2010 will last a few more years.
The man doing the video sounds like he is from northern ireland.
I did the sponge fix as a temp fix on mine. In the way of temp fixes its now been through 2 mot's like it. I managed to find some dark grey sponge, and its almost invisible. I did darken it a bit with a felt tip pen. And i'm £140ish better off.

The man who had the 406 before me used newspaper crudely painted black and stuffed in. Worked for about a day after I bought it.
Com2000 is the proper fix. £140 for the part and an afternoon swearing at the airbag release.
And the man in that video I swear is Barry "the Blender" Henderson

He sounds like an old ICT teacher from school, he was from Ballymena i think.

I did masses of research on DPF's a year or two back and in doing so, came across much to support trem1's observations, but you're right, it's not morally acceptable to take this as true without the facts / personal experience.
I guess most of us take the stuff on forums with a pinch of salt, but tend to accept that which you hear independently from multiple sources.
