Default transit dpf ,to delete or not?????

can any of you guys in the know tell me if its a success or not to either delete the dpf and remap my euro 5 transit or have it cleaned and the atomiser/vapouriser replaced ?

i have been having engine malfunction light coming on every day or two fro the last month, but today the van actually cut out and was hard to restart.

i think i will have to have it lifted on monday by the AA and brought to a garage to do one or the other

REPLACE OR DELETE????

thanks in advance guys

if i replace the atomiser/vapouriser and bring it for a good drive couldthat be enough for the dpf to unblock or would the dpf need removing and cleaning?

I'd get the atomiser replaced if it's at fault then get the garage to do a forced re-gen. Hope that the DPF is not fully blocked so it's able to be re-genned!

Check all the sensor wires that fit in the DPF.these rub on the exhaust guard and bring up dpf faults.think the green one is always the one that goes.

i had the van plugged in a month ago and the dpf was 94% blocked ,but i drive my van like miss daisy and wasnt aware of the regen procedures so it very rarely got over 2000rpm .i was just wondering is a dpf delete and remap make for a better van
