How can I check if my car has a DPF or not?
On the subject of DPF removal, which you covered recently, how would I know if the DPF is still intact on my car, a Citroen C6 2.7HDi? I read that it can be removed and everything welded back so as to look like it was never touched.
As I purchased the car second hand I do not know the history of the DPF. Surely if this item has been removed prior to my ownership I could not be held to account?

Specialist emissions testing would show this up.

Is it possible to retro fit my 2011 Ford Kuga 2.0TDCI with a dashboard symbol that will warn me when the ECU triggers a DPF regeneration, so that I know not to switch off the engine till it has finished?

It looks and drives like a big Citroen should - idiomatic, smooth and very hushed. Plenty of high-tech gadgets. Excellent crash safety ratings.
