Today we were working on a 2007 Seat Leon FR MK2 1P 170TDI

We had already worked on this car performing a DPF Forced Regeneration. The customer was returning after having physically removed their DPF to have it mapped out along with the EGR blanked. The issues the customer was having with the DPF was due to the driving style, of which was many short town journeys and school runs. With the DPF not having the correct conditions to work properly it was failing so removing it was the right thing to do.

Before we got started we took some benchmark figures:

Power	170bhp
Torque	350nm
0-60mph	7.9sec
30-50mph	3.0sec
50-80mph	6.6sec

After a very quick read of the cars ECU, it was time to load our custom software with DPF, EGR and V-Max removal.

Now it was time to see the affect our software had on performance:

Power	227bhp
Torque	421nm
0-60mph	7.1sec
30-50mph	2.6sec
50-80mph	5.7sec

The customer loved the extra pull they got from our software and is pleased in the knowledge they’ll never have to worry about their DPF and EGR again.

Please note the car is now used as a track car and not on public roads so the DPF removal is 100% legal
