I took it to vw and they say everything seems to be ok apart from the dpf is switched off. Now i know when the dpf is turned off the dpf should be removed from the exhaust, i have been under the van and the dpf is still there and never looks like its been opened or gutted out as some put it, so now im thinking that on tickover the smoke forms in the dpf then when you pull away it puffs it out?

Im gonna have the dpf taken out to see what happens but just wondered if any of you guys know anything about these.
