Mine started to have trouble at the end of feb, then off the road at the end of March.

The new part looks massive!!, so should not cause any problems now!!

Its been a long road. However worth it now that im back in it again. Also I was told by the dealer no one will be able to order CRD's till next year now as there shutting the plant down for reno's...

Just happy to be back in my CRD JK
Apparantly our diesel fuel here in OZ, though the quality has got better recently, is still poor quality and burns dirty & is full of sulphur compared with the European stuff (apparantly the reason why many of the European car & light truck diesels weren't available here until relatively recently). So I'm wondering if the European-standard DPF originally fitted to the VM 2.8L CRD was just too small for our sub-standard diesel & clogged too easily, with the remedy being to fit an oversized one designed for a much bigger motor?
