can i just add ..
i dont hate deisels .. i just fix them ..
I know from the issues we have had at work that the DPF can cause problems .. it needs a fairly long run to clean them out .. its a burning operation .. more and less fuel is added to create a high temp in the " filter " to clean them .. if this is not acheived during normal operation then it ends up with guys like me trying to fix the fault .
We do this with a tester .. 30 min job and we have to be in the car the whole time .
There are many values we can see on a tester to figure out how bad a Dpf is .
For what you are contemplateing and from what little i know then i think a diesel is not the best for you .. hence i point it out .
Its all i can do to add to this post .
