What a DPF delete is

The diesel particulate filter on the 156 traps soot and needs regular regenerations to stay clear. A DPF delete takes the filter out of the equation: the engine software is recalibrated so the car runs without it, with no regeneration cycles and no DPF warning lights.

Why 156 owners ask for it

  • No more blocked filter, DPF light or limp mode
  • No replacement filter to buy
  • No regeneration cycles interrupting short journeys
  • Often done with a Stage 1 remap in the same visit

How it works

  1. Diagnose

    We read the fault codes and live data first, so we know the state of the system and anything else that needs attention.

  2. Read the ECU

    We read the engine software, over the diagnostic port where the car allows it and with the ECU out on the bench where it does not.

  3. Calibrate

    The software is calibrated for your engine so it runs properly without the system, with no warning lights.

  4. Check and hand back

    We clear the codes, run full diagnostics again and check the car before it goes back to you.

Pair it with a remap

Most owners pair it with a Stage 1 remap in the same visit. The 1.9 Diesel 150hp typically goes from 148bhp to around 175 to 190bhp at Stage 1, and Stage 1 plus DPF delete is £349.

Alfa Romeo 156 DPF FAQ

156 DPF questions

£249, or £349 with a Stage 1 remap at the same time.

A diesel particulate filter that never gets a long enough run fills with soot, and the 156 lights up its DPF warning or drops into limp mode.

Often, yes. A forced regeneration burns the soot out of a filter that is still sound. Message us with your reg and the warning you see.
