If any of you are still thinking about dpf removal then please think again. I decided on getting it done when I was persuaded to do so by a so called professional promising me great mpg's with no emissions problems or MOT worries ever again. If only I knew that these so called companies are just a bunch of highly trained professionals in the art of lying through their teeth who have taught themselives how to hide behind technicalities when it comes to MOT time. Now I'm £550 out of pocket and need a new dpf fitted by a real professional. One big cycle which has left me completely out of pocket and back where I started from in less then a year. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/88280-lexus-is220d-check-vsc-p2002-dpf-removal-remap-mot-failure-so-avoid-like-the-plague/

Thanks for the good advice, just hope others don't fall into this trap.

I just can't believe it. I had a check vsc light on all the time with my car driving at under 20 mph constantly so I started to look for an easy fix on this forum around october blast year. The sound of having it cut out was more appealing to me because it meant that the're would be no expensive bills in the long run according to the garage that I found near me. They told me that it was all legal and above board and that once it was done it was going to be the end of the story for good. Well I went for an MOT this afternoon and was horrified to get a call from the MOT man telling me that thebcarbhad failed for 2 reasons which he explained was No DPF present or has been tampered with and emissions failure on natural and fast idle. He has advised that to pass the car I need to fit a new DPF onto the car which will sort the emissions fail too. I just can't believe this. The garage that did the work is closed for comment due to me getting the car back at around 6:30 this evening so I'm trying to chew on options right now. Has anyone else had this or am I the first????
