Problems with the Amarok Diesel Particulate Filter are well documented. The Amarok runs an active DPF system that traps harmful diesel particulates in a honey comb structure, and then burns them off as the DPF flow is reduced. In the Amarok, often the soot left behind after the burn cycle can build up and cause a permanent blockage and expensive failure
Signs your DPF is failing include reduced engine performance, higher fuel consumption along with more frequent burn cycles.
Remove your DPF, and upgrade the performance of your Amarok today with a full stainless steel PPD Performance system
Specifically designed for the v6 cylinder Amarok, this stainless system unleashes the performance and sound that they should have had from the factory!
VW added a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to the Amarok. These are prone to failure and significantly restrict performance.
DPF Delete Specifications:
- Polished Stainless Steel Piping
- Straight through design for maximum efficiency
- 4 bolt connecting flanges for bolt-on installation
- TIG welded
- Mandrel Bent
- Gaskets and bolts included
These are a proven design producing fantastic sound and performance upgrades on the Amarok
Note: An ECU remap is recommended when deleting your DPF.
Disclaimer: DPF removal components are designed for off-road use only with specific exemptions, they are not legal for road use. Please consider this before purchasing and installing.
