So my dpf light came on and noticed before that my astra would not do dpf regens anymore. I plugged in my tester and got these codes. I have to do a forced regeneration using the tester every 250km and these codes keep coming up. Do i need to replace my dpf filter?

I think i will delete the dpf as im not a fan of them. Yes costs more than cleaning but at least there is no more hassle.

I thought dpf was a legal requirement and would fail MOT if tampered with? How did you get on with doing this?
