Hello All,

I've just aquired a cheap 54 plate v50 with 180k on the clock.

Only problem is it appears to have a dpf fault, namely sump filling up (previous also reported a drop in fuel economy).

I'd like to remove the dpf, so my question is: how many people have done this potentiometer modification and if so have you experienced any problems with it? and can you clarify which wires are feed/earth/ecu signal?

Failing that, if its better to get the ECU re-programmed can anyone recommend a company to do this?

I can remove the filter myself, just don't want to spend a fortune getting the electrical side sorted.

thanks, Gav.
