DPF

[neilybs6369]

Hello guys.

Can anyone tell me what year the DPF's were introduced on the Skoda Fabia TDi.. Or what was the last year before they fitted them? Ta in advance...

[Ootohere]

If it is the 1.6 TDI then i guess when they were fitted to MK2's they had a DPF as after 2009.

 

As to other engines like the 1.2 TDI i suspect they had a DPF as they were part of the Defeat Device Scandal.

 

No idea if there were any TDI's that were fitted to the first Mk2's without a DPF. 

 But someone will be along that knows about 1.9 TDI's & 1.4 TDI's.

I don't believe any VAG group diesel vehicles from 2009 onwards didn't have a DPF fitted as standard because euro 5 compliance was mandatory across the range.

Plenty threads ask the same question over the years.

I thought that possibly since the Mk2 was launched pre Sept 2009 there might have been some diesels without a PDF.

1.4 TDI Greenline is the only 1.4 TDI fitted with a DPF.

I've been looking at 2009 Skoda Fabia Est 1.4 TDi. My last skoda Fabia Est was a 2008 1.4 TDi which did not have a DPF fitted.

I'm not 100% sure of the following, but the parts catalogue suggests:

If it's a BMS engine code it'll have one as shown here exhaust pipe with catalyst and particulate filter... - Fabia(FAB) [EUROPA 2009 year] (7zap.com)

If it's BNM or BNV it won't, as (not) shown here exhaust pipe with catalyst - Fabia(FAB) [EUROPA 2009 year] (7zap.com)

The 1.6 tdi was intrduced in 2010 and all 1.6 tdi Fabia`s have a DPF. 

The 1.9tdi & sdi Fabia was made from 2001 to 2010 and no Fabia 1.9tdi OR 1.9sdi have a dpf.

So the youngest Fabia diesel without a DPF is a 2010 Fabia 1.9tdi.

There none on autotrader at the moment but there are four 2009`s.

You might finf the following link useful.

Thank you so much that is very kind of you  😉

BLS code 1.9 did have DPF according to my first link above?

[sepulchrave]

This is nuts, if you don't want DPF problems don't buy a diseasal as a shopping cart or for the rush hour city centre commute, they need a decent run to keep them clear and the pennies you pinch on fuel costs are pounds wasted on getting the DPF cleaned out.

 

Buy a petrol car instead, for low mileage the TCO is far less.

I had a 2008 Fabia 1.4 TDI without one issue in the time I had it. Not nuts mate just asking for a bit of advice.

Is this correct, so the 2009 skoda Fabia 1.4 tdi DOESNT have a DPF 🤔

@Adzalot Are you looking at buying a car and concerned over problems / issues with a DPF?

Does the car drive OK, and how many miles has it done & how does the past MOT,s and advisories look if there are any?

 A 1.4TDI Greenline model, which is an "economy" version with the model 2 trim, higher gearing and some other mods such as aerodynamic body mods, does have a DPF, the trim models 1, 2 and 3 do not.

^^^^ was that because run out models?
