How to identify if 320d has DPF?

[Dre]

Hi guys,

can somebody perhaps guide me on how to confirm whether my car has a DPF?

Thanks in advance

Every diesel has a DPF bro, higher up above the flex on exhaust, that will come out when fitting a Downpipe

Maybe he means how to check if there is a DPF or a CAT?

when i was searching myself i couldn't find a certain answer.
Many answers dependent on year made, if efficient dynamic model etc etc


Even when i was shopping around on quotes for a downpipe i got different answers from different exhaust shops/tuners whether DPF or CAT

What year is your 320d?

2012 year model.
I asked because the exhaust shops have advised it's more tricky to do downpipe if the car has a DPF.
I'm quite clueless in diesel mods

Give powerflow Midrand a call.

They advised me with my 20d and also made sure they had the answers before quoting.

Have you done your downpipe via power flow midrand?

Not yet.

I have only heard good things about them.

They also gave the best insight and made sure they knew what tgey were talking about before advising and quoting.

Ive also seen work from them on other cars and they know what they are doing.

Thats where my money is going.

Thx, for the referral [WHITE SMILING FACE], I'll give them a try.

I have to admit though that I am/was sceptical due to their exhaust specialist (I think his name is Sanjeev) no longer working there

F30 or E90?

AFAIK the E90 320d LCI doesnt have a DPF

GUYS DOES A 320D F30 GET LOUDER ONCE A DOWNPIPE IS FITTED as compared to stock.

Why would you say that? PreLci 320d has a dpf. Lci 330d has a dpf. So surely the 320d lci has a dpf.
