I'm thinking of putting my fabia estate in for a 1.9TDI Superb demonstrator,I don,t want one with a DPF,i only potter around,but want theSuperb for towing a caravan.How can i tellwhich models have a DPF? Many thanks

Only the 2.0 PD has the DPF so if your looking for a used 1.9 you'll be fine.

I dont think the new 115bhp 1.9 PD uses a DPF, can someone confirm this?

If you want to tow I would recommend a 130PS Euro Cat III Superb. Look on the cambelt plastic clip-on cover and you will see the engine code which is 3 letters. The one to have is AWX.

Avoid the Cat IV and 2 litre PD engines at all costs. The Cat IV engines suffer from blocked DPFs and the 2 litre engines are beginning to show problems with failed oil pump drives and blown head gaskets.

I may be biased, but the best Superb of all time is the 130PS diesel with folding back seats - there was about an 18 month window in which this combination was available.

rotodiesel.

I havent seen a 2.0 8V with oil pump drive issues (they dont run the balancer shafts of the 16v engines) but the DPF issue is well covered.

Thanks for all your help.

Just bought an 06 1.9TDI, AWX engine, Euro 111, with folding rear seats, with7000 miles on the clock,i may be able to pick it up next week .It was built in Nov 05, and not registered until june 06.Can't wait ,this is so exciting.

...get it remapped!
