Welcomes,

The crack is there's a Million and one threads on this here and throughout the internet and yes the Diesel Particulate Filter ( DPF ) is on all Diesel versions of the DS3. They should last you a while but they can become clogged if you do alot of low-milage slow driving say around town etc. The best option is to get them removed - which is what I have done

I can't really do anything until my warranty is up Zack , I just wanted a bit more of an insight to it off some people who know there shit so to speak haha one of my partners relations had the Astra and she was just going on and on about how she was paying 80 a month to change it and all that crap so just wanted to know thanks .

They wouldn't have been paying £80 a time to change it- they're VERY expensive to replace, they were probably charged that by the garage for 'clearing it'. Which would have entailed either a long drive up a motorway or taking the car somewhere quiet and revving the tits off it lol.

Ok thanks Zack, I do a lot of motorway runs anyway and most of the time it's never to the speed limit haha a just couldn't understand why they would manufacture a car and then make u pay extortionate amounts every month to get it changed or cleaned or whatever I thought that's why u had a service if u know what I mean but thanks anyway.
