    ECU Tuner _ DPF delete possibilities.

    I came accross this on another forum. Sounds interesting for those with DPF problems.

    Welcome to Custom Spooling

    Yes, Big power and fantastic fuel savings too. From what I've read CustomCode seem to be the only one's that have done it with no reliability issues. I think I'll wait till my DPF dies before I do it though as its not just a simple coding job - it will require a new exhaust and with possibly the installation of a catalytic converter as the DPF in the Mk5's contain the Cat, so removing the DPF also removes the cat. I'm happy that Gavin is local too.

    I think you will find their DPF removals only pertain to the Cummins / Powerstroke big arse SUV engines which they spend a lot of time cracking. Currently only Malone tuning in the USA is "trying" to delete the DPF from their MK6 VW's, but as they hardly saw the MKV DPF, there is no US removal tune to my knowledge. At least now the MK6 crew will have options, and they have a better, split cat / DPF filter over the combined, and thus expensive to replace MKV version.

    Many have tried in the UK ( and still are ) but to date I'd still only trust Custom Code as having a true solution. Great spotting all the same!!

    Did you check the site? Custom Spooling is in Ireland. I particularly checked to see what they offered for "Big Arse" F250's - nothing! They mainly target european vehicles.

    Boy I shouldn't be so quick to judge, just saw .com and figured it was the good ol' US of A!

    I'm afriad an F250 is a "light duty" SUV in the USA, heck, you don't even need a side step!

    An F250 with a 7.3l Powerstroke engine, weighing in at around 3.5 tonnes is hardly a "light duty" SUV even in USA! What do you perceive to be heavy duty?

    I'm just gonna stop commenting on this thread, I'm not feeling so smart here! I thought a F250 was a more normal sized SUV, but then I'm not into them so I'll just shut up!

    It seems Viezu also does DPF deletes (for BMW diesels anyway).
    see here

    Like Custom Spooling, they mention it on their website but no details are provided.
