At last! A proper DPF delete.

[parso_rex]

I would have thought they would use a tool like this ......



There are a couple of other companies that offer this service too

This is one for Jimmy but what I have heard is they can turn the warning light off, which isn't the same as removing the regeneration process.

C-C spent a long time writing this software so I wouldn't expect it to come out elsewhere overnight. Superchips also work on practically every manufacturer on the planet, so spending time on what is really a pretty small market segment, might not be a big priority?

I am happy to be corrected on this Jimmy.

OK so that would mean you wont see the light but the engine will still continuously think that it needs DPF regeneration and run the engine hot. Doesnt sound like a good idea.

So you are saying that Recode can do it properly too? Is that software that you developed?

Well we should be able to do it properly but I have seen a few cases overseas where it just hasn't worked with some other brands so I always like to say 'should' . For some vehicles depending on the ECU type EDC16 or 17 or whatever the DPF setting can even be modified in the rom with the editing suite so you have a choice of a dedicated SW tool or the usual SW that you would modify the maps with - if you have either. In the case of the GT with its Siemens ECU its only the tool. This is only one type of ECU and there are many amongst all the Vehicles
And no not developed by me thats a lot of work in itself to do that OMG . You'd be better off doing each car on a case by case basis simple due to the effort required. The SW will look for a particular string within the file that is known to control the DPF function. It then modifies that. Modifying the takes about 3 seconds or about 2 minutes tops including stuffing around opening the laptop and drilling down through the directories.
If I ever had an issue with a modified file not working then I would simply send the original to one of my partners OS who use yet another brand of SW and I would use that and owe them a beer or two when I'm over there next . Always worked on the VAG stuff but as I've said before if the car was a Peugeot It might not
IMO wouldn't just rip out the DPF thinking your going to gain much though unless your after every last kW

Just reading through the replies to this thread. Again, I have to say, Custom Code and Gav was awesome to deal with and the car has been bullet proof. No issues at all. If you love your GT sport like my wife does. Trust Gav with it and his proven record.

My 2 cents.

[Greg Roles]

So at the moment Superchips cant flash the ECU properly for a DPF delete?

No. A member got led on about that from a company other than Custom Code and its been a disaster. I'll leave it to him to comment, got the sad news via email yesterday. Not bringing anyone down but at this stage ONLY Custom Code have a proven solution.

Interesting read....

[HaywireTig]

This DPF delete doesn't work on the Tig MY2010 103TDI? Sorry... Just a little bit new and confused.

Yes it was and seeing this thread revitalise brings back bad memories and a sour taste.Oh well at least someone north of the tweed is benefitting!

[Greg Roles]

And I still have "that guys" delete pipe, I should buy it given I've borrowed it for so long, and no it is only being used on the bench, not the car!

It's nice enough to put on the wall Greg. Look nice in the lounge!

Were you going to do this to your GT Greg?
Or don't want to get involved with the emissions fees :S

[Greg Roles]

Was a long time ago, but despite the fact I can get a DPF delete tune overnight from Viezu, and have all the gear to flash it on, plus I've had Stormsharks DPF delete pipe for a few months now, it's not a route I want to go down. In my opinion making a clean diesel smokey isn't cool, plus I believe I can get all the power and economy benefits and stay close to zero soot with my high flow DPF experiment, if ever I manage to get my hands on the right core!!

And yes the potential fines, especially for a business are massive, so that killed any thoughts of cutting it out!

Building a better version of the DPF that never clogs nor needs regens, flows far better, and can then be used with the "delete" tune is my goal now. Will soot a little no doubt, but I reckon both Viezu and my long time championed Custom Code could clean that up. We shall see in due course.

[kamold]

Really look forward to hearing how your experiments go Greg. Best of luck

[gecko2k]

definitely! Count me in! I am interested in a Viezu + Greg-pipe combo
