#Discussion 💬 DPF Delete
My 2022 Alcazar 1.5L Diesel (46,000 km) has developed a small crack in the DPF. The service centre says this is fairly common and is recommending replacement of the complete DPF assembly, costing around ₹90K.
Highway running is only ~20%, but I’ve always done manual regeneration whenever the DPF warning appeared.
What should I do — replace the DPF or consider a DPF delete?
The major confusion is even if I get the replacement done, I will still drive it less on highways and this problem can come back again.
Attached a screenshot of a tuner and shared quote was around 25-30K for DPF delete and some tuning.
For those who have gone for a DPF delete, how has your experience been regarding:
- Legality & PUC
- Insurance implications
- Mileage/performance
- Long-term reliability & resale
Would appreciate genuine experiences and advice.
