Ok, thanks, that's a lot cheaper than a Mondeo DMF

Is it generally a dealer only task?

Thanks for the replies, do you know what a budget cost for a replacement FAP filter is?

Thanks Random ">Be wary of problems with the DPF/FAP and the top ups for it,<" This must be the exhaust particle filter burning thing. Any links available? 90% of my mileage is motorway/dual carriageway, does that mean fewer burning sessions? I've found a couple of 2005 2.0 VTRs at £5k from dealers (I want some sort of warranty) not seen them yet. What mpg can I expect at a steady 75 - 80mph with a manual box?

Hi First post etc. I've had a couple of petrol Mondeos, buy at 40k miles, throw away at 140k miles. No real problems (except the mundanity of it all), now driving approx 30k miles per annum so the 37ish mpg could be improved upon and I'm sick of visiting petrol stations. I've looked at and tested a couple of TDCi Mondeos, including a 2.2 155 bhp that was surprising, and in all honesty I'd buy one tomorrow except for the horrendous accounts of TDCi dual mass flywheels, EGRs and expensive misfueling. I had a Xantia 2.0 HDi 110 hatchback 1999 to 2002, brand new to 100k miles, no real problems except for one of the fuel pumps failing at 95k miles. So, I like Citroen suspension and diesel engines, but are there any real show stoppers? I intend to buy a 2005 car with 40k - 50k miles, run it for another 100k miles and throw it away. Comments please!
