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

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Yep, Doggy is reasonably close to you as well. I'm sure he'll see this thread

PP2000 (dealer diagnostic kit).

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.
