It's a at your own risk thing. DPF can be removed from the fire wall side. Tech can r&I engine in 16 hours that's flat rate labor. I challenge any mechanic to tell me the damn plastic drive coupler is not worn out loose and sloppy when we pull the engines out for DPF service!! So I look at pull engine, DPF service, replace drive coupler.
For those in the UK, click here to watch the episode. In a statement from Nissan to watchdog regarding this issue they said, “The 1.5dCi, 1.6dCi and 2.0dCi engines fitted to QASHQAI include a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to reduce emissions and help protect the environment. The functionality of a DPF may not be suitable for all customers.
Unplug all the connectors for the sensors instead of trying to remove them all. Also on the hangers instead of fighting with the rubber bushings, just unbolt all three hangers from the frame. Its much easier to slide the rubber hangers off with the DPF on the driveway with the help of some PB blaster.
