A few friends of mine removed the DPF, well hollowed them out, on their DS3 diesels, they smoked like old style diesels after having it done - one even ended up with black emissions all over the back of the car. I can't understand how the smoke test in an MOT wouldn't see this - we could when...
So does the cheat software only affect cars that are less than three years old ?
Isn't the point that if you don't have it done it will still pass the MOT as the software is still in place ? I've not read anything about the MOT tests or systems being updated to detect VAG cars with the cheat...
