Just used the VIN info tool thing here to work out my MY year and if it has a DPF. Apparently I have a cDPF and not a DPF. What's the difference? Any pros/cons on either?

Ta

cDPF - "c" stands for "coated".
aDPF - "a" stands for "additive".
Both are plain and simple DPF.

Here's a quote from the net, about Ford's cDPF. (you know that FL2 was developed with Ford)

"Coated Diesel Particulate Filter (cDPF): Ford's optional cDPF system traps carbon deposits as they exit from the combustion system, preventing their release into the atmosphere. Under favourable conditions the system then cleans itself with a controlled 'burn-off' process, thus providing a self-contained clean air system without the need for service maintenance.
Additive systems have an additional additive tank that primes the fuel tank with the additive (a metallic catalyst) at every refuelling. On the Ford cDPF the additive is embedded in the filter washcoat, hence no additional complex priming system is required and no refilling of the tank.
Long life – a ‘normal’ additive DPF tank needs refilling after approx 60k km, whereas the new Ford cDPF has been developed to last at least 200.000km."

Ah right, I did actually read the Ford thing but wasn't sure if it was the same thing. Thanks.
