It's a belt. And as regards to DPF, all depends on the engine model. Some 2005/6 cars have DPF yet my facelift 2008 does not. Also some are dry DPFs so last the lifetime of the car and others are 'wet' DPFs that needs top up of additive periodically and also need completely replaced at 75k.

What's the best way to find out. Phone a dealer?

Generally if there's a grey plug on the left side of your battery then it has a DPF, if not then it doesn't. But the only way to know for sure will probably be to ring a dealer.
