when dpf is blocked even regeneration by running on higher revs won't help. Removal I think the best option. P&P auto services in Taunton they definitely can perform dpf removal on IS220

any smoke? You wouldn't get engine management light if the turbo would fail.

if you fancvy change it for xxx pounds - do it. What would you do if you new dpf would get blocked after another 6 weeks? Would you fit another one for xxx pounds? Dpf could fail because other things working not correctly in the engine:air mass meter, egr, lambda sensor etc. I've seen cars fitted with new dpfs units and they are failing again after 2-4-6 weeks. So take your own opinion.
Irrespective of what make/model of car you own/drive it always pays to investigate even the slightest variations in performance/behaviour of your vehicle. A small fault caught early might be a £5 fix which if ignored could cause the failure of several items leading to a bill which could run into £hundreds/thousands.
The answer is not to remove items (which are there for a reason) but to find the core problem and fix it.

did you ever experienced dpf problem? Did you take it to the garage which doesn't have a clue what is doing?And the best one : did you after spending 2k or more for replacing dpf fiter get the some light back on on the dash after few weeks?What would be your feeling? I think you never did experience this sort of problem . So I removed dpf out of my car: no more problems with dpf, no more regenerations, better fuel economy ,better performance etc. I know we could talk about it : remove or not to removed , but I stay on the bright side REMOVE IT and forget about it. Regards guys

Hi I don't know where did you get that myth from about dpf removed - mot failure.
-
or just simply remove it - forget about problem with dpf and enjoy driving IS220

white smoke every so often? dpf in regeneration mode?
-
so they charged for but didn't change it? Notty...

hi
fuel smell - maybe you have diesel leak
poor mpg- maybe dpf is doing regeneration so often and that's why you have higher fuel consumption? Does it smoke white occasionally ? Did you notice lack of power?
cleaning injectors that could help as well.
