no DPF then,
should be a LOT lower with a DPF = lower emissions,

Not as simple as that the 1.3mjet GP van is about £180 from memory due to it been a commercial vehicle yet IMMSMC its £30 if a car

Is it a car, or van?

florino

Ah, Qubo is the car version isn't it?

SO, that my way of working it out, out of the window, as like you say its a commercial vehicle so taxation is different.

its a van

I bought my Qubo new in Feb 2011. It was one of the last Euro IV diesels and does not have a dpf . As far as I'm aware, new imports from March 2011 were Euro V compliant and were fitted with (the dreaded) dpf.

I think the Qubo VED remained at £30 until "Stop/Start" came in to reduce emissions further, when it dropped to £20.

Incidentally, first year Qubo VED is £0 as it's classed as a diesel car .

I'm pretty sure that's your DPF.
You wont know it's doing a regen unless you are watching your instant MPG whilst driving: It will suddenly read a rather low mpg for about ten minutes each time it regenerates. No lights come on and you don't really feel or hear anything. When the cycle is finished the mpg goes back to normal.
I hope that answers your question

GM- General Motors
FPT- Fiat PowerTrain

The 1.3 is a joint venture by Fiat and General Motors/Vauxhall. Since around '05 Fiat have begun badging engines and components with the FPT logo.

Simplest way to determine if you have a DPF is to switch on the ignition and see what dash lamps illuminate, specifically to see if the amber DPF warning lamp comes on and goes out.

The DPF itself will also have a metal pipe in the side which leads to a rubber hose which connects to a pressure sensor. Don't confuse this with a pre-cat which will likely have a lambda sensor and possibly EGT probe also.

i went onto euro car parts and put in my reg for an exhaust system and it lists the item in descussion as a CAT no mention of a dpf at all , and it also shows you the pick.
the way of finding out if you have a dpf is to" turn on the ignition and see if the light illuminates "
that must of been to obivious for me

thanks

Mines a 2009 Qubo, DPF was a optional extra at the time of order........I never ordered one, so never got one.......one bit less to go wrong.
