Cross Polo 1.6 CLN DPF and catalytic converter questions.

Post by CLN1.6TDI FK »

Hi guys, I need some info I have tried the web but only get mixed details, none seem to fit my questions.

I drive a 2013 1.6 TDI Cross Polo on which I would like to remove the DPF and delete the EGR. Get little software done as well and downpipe.

My question is, the car has no catalytic convertor, no sensors on exhaust and no sensors before or after the DPF. I checked for a DPF sensor found none, only the EGR sonsor is visible. On the manifold there is a exhaust gas sensor and what I assume is a lambda sensor.

I think there might have beeen work done on the car before I bought it not sure though.

Any have an idea where else I can look for the sensors except the obvious places where I find none.

Have any one ever done software, cat and DPF removal on the 1.6 TDI with success.
I was told by a "speed shop" I
would have a 50/50 chance but will need to spen a few thousand to take the chance and let them check.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Ok no response let me try again.
Has any one on the site done a downpipe on a 1.6 16v tdi?
My tdi has only a lambda and exhaust temp sensor no sensors for dpf is this normal?

Not sure on a polo, I have just done a jetta 6. Has a few sensors.

* 2x on upper dpf/cat (one is a probe type sensor, the other is a lambda)
* 1x downstream of dpf/cat (this also seems to be a probe type sensor)
* 1x egt probe on the exh manifold.

Im quite sure that the probe type sensors, senses the amount of flow through the cat/dpf. There Most likely is 1 downstream of the cat/dpf aswell so that a difference could be calculated by ecu.

And yes software can be done irrespective of the ecu type (Siemens VS Bosch). There are many tdi tuners that offer the deletes.

Hi Ashveer03
Thank you for the reply.
The sensors before and after the dpf on my polo are not there, there are no points also where any sensors were. Only sensors is what I asume is an exhaust temp sensor directly after the turbo exhaust housing rigt at the dpf flange and a sensor on the exhaust manifold before the turbo. I will take pictures and send it to clarify. The car is fairly strong with a massively fast pull away which makes me think it has maybe be worked on.

Maybe it was.. They really respond well to the deletes.

Is ur egr unit still hooked up?

Again I'm not sure on the polo, but on the jetta, the wiring for all the sensors have a bracket on the firewall above the gear box.. Probably check if it has any plugs that are disconnected?

Sorry, read again, u would want to delete the egr..

U could just gut out the original and fit it back. Much easier and cheaper to do

Thanks, I will check for the connections on the firewall, egr is still on car, should still be functioning as the heater is hot as hell. Gutting is a good idea would save me some cash to fit bigger brakes. Tried to load a photo of the dpf but not getting it loaded

These engines have horrible egr units. Wouldn't affect the heater, that depends on Thermostat. But when the egr is working as normal, the engine warms up much quicker.

If the egr is faulty, will definitely give Grey hairs. Lol

I will check the egr, I need to get a photo loaded so you can see what this dpf looks like.

Sup ..If you have a clna motor, it only has a catalytic converter....no dpf..

Soo you can get a downpipe fitted without any errors.....

That is great news, thanks. I will be going for a powerflow downpile then thinking of going 63mm out the back.
