I was just reading the delete thread and thought I'd post an idea I have as a VERY inexpensive alternative to a delete tune. It consists of 2 things:
1. The ability to do a manual regen.
2. The ability to disable the "countdown to death".
All other things being equal, this might cost a couple hundred $, and still greatly increase the reliability of these cars.
I say this as someone who's put just about 200K miles on my stock CTD, and the 2 main "leave me stranded" type of emissions problems I had centered around the DPF regen and the countdown to death.
I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this approach.
