Here is picture of the 125kW engine showing DPF. You can clearly see the temperature sender @ top & @ bottom also visible is Lambda sensor.

Damn Does that mean I was sold a MY06 with a MY07 steering wheel?

No wonder the selling dealer will not take or return my calls.

I'll be ringing VW Australia tomorrow

where did you get the info that the 07's have a dpf? vw has always advertised the gt as having the dpf but never mentioned it for the 103's. they're not in the business of charity so i highly doubt theres one in any of them.

easy way to find out your model year is to check the vin and use something like this http://www.abvwc.org.uk/vw_vin.htm it should also tell you your engine number and from that you can determine if its an engine number with a dpf or not.

The salesman; but I have now checked the 07 spec brochure they gave me and you are all right - no mention of the DPF. I feel pretty stupid - damned stupid sales reps
Oh well, that explains the general level of **** that comes out of the exhaust - A true diesel owner and here I was buying this because it seemed ecologically responsible... From now on it will be on pure driving pleasure

If you go to the german VW website www.volkswagen.de and choose the Golf then run through the "Konfigurator" you will see all the engine options there.
For the 2.0l TDI it actually states DPF.

Gee they have some options over there, they can configure the car basically how they want. Not to mention all the colors they can choose from.
