Diesel particulate filter removed? The MOT inspector’s gonna get you!

In theory, the carbon filters to the rescue of our planet. They filter the exhaust fumes of diesel cars on the particles, which modern zelfontbranders purely flowers and elfenstof emit. In practice, hit send or download nasty stuff quickly clogged up – especially if you don’t keep on going, and make them frequently for malfunctions. But yes, the environment, eh.

According to a recent TNO study shows that on January 1, approximately 60% of all diesel cars in the Netherlands, a diesel particulate filter. Small problem: a sample show that approximately 5 to 7 percent of the factory-installed built-in filter is removed. After all, without this obstruction in the exhaust system, you will have more power and be statistically less susceptible to interference. Also tuning is easier.

In a letter to the Second Chamber allows the state secretary of Infrastructure and the Environment Mansveld know today is that they have an “unacceptable development” and cars would start to check the presence of the carbon filters. Something that is part of the APK should be:

“To the functioning of factory-installed particulate filters to check, should have a current MOT-roetmeting be adjusted.”

There is in the second half of 2015, research will be done to the control, after which the Room early 2016 will be informed about the findings. Take care, therefore, that there mid-2016, a change in the MOT regulations that the presence of a factory-installed mounted diesel particulate filter is required.

Further reports Mansveld that there is also a yacht will be made on companies that have carbon filters to remove, and thus advertise. Either: sell your diesel particulate filter is not immediately to the first the best camper. You will probably need it during the MOT.
