Just fix your broken heap instead. Do us all a favour and stop us having to inhale more particulates that we already have to.
On a more serious note, nobody offering these services actually knows what they're doing, are largely buying badly modified binaries from a handful of sellers that just run around with a big stick attempting to turn any and all diagnostics off. Largely leaving all of the other functionally like passive regens active, which in turn means the poor sod that buys the car next finds out all sorts of things are broken when the car inevitably starts driving rough/loss of power etc because it couldn't tell them something is faulty because all of the fault codes have been disabled

i do know company's that do this and do it without further issues by deleting only the relevant codes and gutting the dpf , the car wont ever do a passive regen in a thousamd years with the dpf removed but i guess its more the attitude to breaking the law , at the moment an egr delete wont be spotted unless nox is tested in mots to come , a dpf can cover up fuel system faults so the car would have to be running well or will end up throwing out smoke .
been following this guy for ages ,this is a customer finding out he is without dpf as a software update overrides the delete

This is my last regen , trying to figure out the anomaly in exhaust gas temps , my sensors read ok at ambient.
Happy with finishing on 5 g of soot , the diff pressure is slightly high as I was still moving when I did a screenshot.
As always calculated (made up) soot level set it off at 21 g it never actually needs to regen

Pre-DPF cars aren't tuned the same and they DO make a lot of smoke when starting from cold or when you floor it.
It will stink and most likely fail the MOT at some point, then you'll have to undo it all to ever pass again as it will be noted. You'll also have to let people know when you sell it (which will put most people off), or they might come back to haunt you for selling them an unroadworthy car when they find out.

i know for a fact they can get through ,ex ford higher technician here not just using google and that's bs about all non dpf cars pouring out smoke
Total BS
Eh?
Fair point, but it depends on what the "smoke" plate value is and whether the tester can actually and reliably tell any emission equipment has been removed.
For example, if the car has an engine cover or undertray that requires tools to remove it to take a close look at emission equipment (EGR/DPF/Cat etc) then one can't fail what one can't see (ie if the brick has been knocked out of a DPF/Cat).
A lot of the pre DPF diesels are a lot cleaner than one may think (unless it's French, then yeah, it'll probably kill you).
added emoji as i came across too serious !!!

I don't think I've suddenly become more sensitive to diesel smoke but I'm wearing a nice shine on my air recirculation button lately because I constantly seem to be behind something chucking **** out of the exhaust. They aren't all old bangers either so something seems to be changing in derv land.
Well dpf deleted diesel's will throw out soot for sure even when smoke free , it just seems they have been implemented so badly, mines not even euro 6 so no ad blue but it wants a good run to get the exhaust temps up , then it's injecting extra fuel to raise it even more during a regen, couldn't it have been mounted near or on the exhaust manifold for constant passive regen ? Edit / more frequent passive regen There's probably an obvious answer why not
Having said all this you could argue that there's many thousands of vehicles out there that regen without issue and it's down to too short journeys,sensor faults etc, watching the oriely channel it seems even some main dealers are clueless when it comes to solving the faults

I might be wrong but I think some older, but not ancient, diesels don't like biodiesel and actually run worse on it.
This is why I opted for a 440i vs a 435d.
My car doesn't even get warm on my work commute lol
