Ford retrofit DPF's prices makes Volvo look like bandits
Yes I've been googling again, and look what I found
Ford of Germany offers retrofit diesel particulate filters for just 133.33 euros That would be £141.40 with 15% VAT applied here in the UK for the supply of the filter Quote:

Ford for the masses, Volvo for those who appreciate quality, safety and like to stand out a little.
£500 + for DPF change is a joke however. Incidentally, has anyone serviced their S40/V50's at a Ford Dealer? |

I am now up to 22,000 miles and the next service will be due in November. I will be using the Ford dealer again. (incidentally I presume you mentioned a Ford dealer for the same reason that I used one, the links between the Focus and the S40) 22,000 miles in and my car has not given me a moments trouble.

In fact it was mainly why I did a deal to sell the S40 yesterday, and to buy a Focus for the wife. Because if I was going to stuff another £800 or more into the S40, there was no way I was selling it after that. Obviously with Ford and Volvo sharing engines, Focus owners have fallen foul of the expensive DPF http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/po...ex.htm?t=74278 And a driving instructor finds out to late about the dreaded DPF, but warns another unsuspecting punter I just found a well priced ford focus 2005 1.6 TDCi
