Thread: Getting rid of dpd on a Mu-X

Hi,
We have got a 2018 MU-X 3l diesel , that we got second hand with 67000km last year.
The car has now 85000 km , and we are noticing that it does more and more regenerations of the dpd.
Like one regeneration every 18 to 20 km on short trips. Or another exemple, south Auckland to Hamilton and it would do 3 or 4 regenerations.
We took the car to the local Isuzu dealer, they have done all kind of tests, swapping sensors, driving around, etc, we are still stuck with the same problem.
So I have heard that you could get the dpd remove entirely, ( getting a partial new exhaust line to replace the dpd section), get the computer tweeked so it ignores the now obsolete sensors, and get a retune for proper combustion. And get an emission certification after that.

So the questions are:
- is that modification all right on the vehicle and for the engine durability ?
- what are the implications for future WOF, fuel consumption, insurance and resale value?
-what are the chances of failing the emission test after all the tune up is done?
If you had to get it done, where would you go? ( we live in the waikato ).
Thanks.
