hello all , new member here ....... just bought an 06 520d and the dpf needs replacing , the dealer are sorting it but as the missus only does short town journeys are we better off in the long run just getting rid of it ? . also can you force a regeneration or is it in the hands of the computer ? ...... be patient as i'm a novice but quite practical ... many thanks in advance !
