2.2hdi 407 buying tips?
#9
Nothing wrong with a DMF, its no different to change than an SMF, just a bit more expensive. Its also easier to drop the gearboxes on newer cars as everything isn't rusty and seized lol. And they'll easily last 120k+ under normal conditions, same time as the clutch starts the fail anyway.

DPF is the bigger worry, especially PSA ones with the Eolys fluid which are only expected to last around 75k miles before being blocked by regen ash which cant be 'cleaned'. Needs replacing then as it's now illegal to just remove them (yes illegal, not just an MOT fail). May be different in Sweden but I'd imagine they're much hotter on emmisions stuff out there tbh.

On the 2.2 it's also a VNT turbo, which come with their own 'sticking' problems if its been driven slowly by old people previously lol.

Also, 2009 is when the Euro 5 regs came out, which meant that almost all diesels in Europe then needed a DPF, there are quite a few smaller cars without one up to then which has surprised me a bit. However the Euro regs wont apply to Sweden so it may differ whether or not the cars there have a DPF with the same engines if that makes sense.
