Fantastic.

Thanks Andrew. I have not searched for any parts myself as yet, however the dealer tells me that the Original VWrepalcement DPF part is around 4.5K

The page that I sent as link is for a 4 motion and I have had a look at their website and engines codes and years don't look correct.

I have a 2006 Transporter with AXE engine code and I think you have a BNZ.

I would call them. DPF Sales Australia – Australia's Leading DPF Specialist (I have no commercial link other than Google)

That's very cool, will be dearer than a euro eBay DPF, but at least it's a new core, and they can reset the ECU properly, the biggest hurdle. Other than that I'd be getting it pulled off, cut open and sent to Western Filter. Probably cost the same as one of those DPF sales new ones once you include labour to cut it out if you aren't a welder yourself.

Thanks Andrew,

The DPF has been replaced with an after market Euromax, which cost $1500.00 delivered to the dealer, who was happy to fit an after market part. However, I was told by the service manager, that the new DPF did require some " custom fitting" and was charged another $300.00 in addition to the $1400.00 labour cost to fit the DPF. Something apparently to do with sensor inlet angles!!!! I wonder.

Anyway, all seems good when driving and return to full power again.

Thankyou for all your advice on this lads.

$1400 to fit a DPF, outrageous!

Someone's taking the pi$$ there.

Even with the 4Mo bevel box in the way, they're not too bad to get out.

The dealer is making up for the loss of profit on a sale of the genuine part , so they are screwing him on labour .

[Umai Naa!!]

Yeah no doubt, it's the old BYO parts tax.

And then they wonder why people buy their parts online , I went into my local VW dealer to check a price on a part yesterday January this year part was $585 yesterday same part $665
