DPF and Add Blue Delete

[A.C]

Hi All,

I live in Papua New Guiena where i will be importing my Ineos Grenadier diesel wagon to. PNG is remote and ragged, i dont even think we can buy add blue here. Also there are no emission regulations or laws in PNG so i wanted to find out if anyone had successfully deleted/removed the DPF and Add blue through a tuning shop?

See if you can arrange to import a Sth African spec diesel. Certainly no Ad Blue, not sure re. the dpf.

Pretty gutsy move importing a grenadier into PNG. I haven't heard of anyone successfully deleting either system yet and both systems are pretty deeply integrated into the vehicle electronic\s

I wonder what their Diesel quality standards are like compared to Australia and how you'll go with service diagnostics and simple things like resetting the service indicator? Perhaps having a chat to the local BMW distributor up there would be a good idea.

Getting spare parts will also be interesting. I still have memories of having to source parts from Australia for the family Mitsubishi when I lived there in the 90's. Even thought the car was sold new in country getting anything except service spares was a constant headache.

I'd also echo DenisM's comment regarding trying to get an SA spec vehicle, but only if you never planned to bring it back to Australia.

Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve. Yeh the diesel quality here is questionable and there is no BMW dealer here. We do however have our own workshop at work with a OBD scanner so hope i can reset the service light. My family have been her pre world war II. we use to be the coke bottler in Rabaul. Now we are a PepsiCo bottler. Thanks for the help.

Considering all the costs and risks, why not just buy enough ad blue for 100k miles and import it with the truck?

Unfortunately at this point in time the service light reset can only be done by Ineos dealers. I don't know of anyone who has managed to do it themselves.

That said there is light at the end of the tunnel. according to a couple of threads here, an online workshop manual should be available soon for owners. I was also chatting with my dealer's service manager last week and he said that Ineos were working with Autel to make an Ineos specific scantool, Unfortunately he had no idea when it would be available. I guess if all else fails and you are importing the vehicle from Australia, have a chat to Ineos Australia and see what they could do for you with regard to after sales support and diagnostics.

Unfortunately Ad blue has a finite shelf life and most suppliers quote a shelf life of 12 months when stored correctly. Apparently using old adblue can cause issues with the SRC system and potential damage.

Ok, so buy 2 years worth of adblue and rotate stock.

Point being, it is NOT the weak link in the process of keeping this truck operational in this location, and if you’re willing to risk dealing with all of the issues, why even discuss this?

At present you won’t be able to reset your service reminder however it would be worth presenting those circumstances to both your dealer and Ineos Australia to discuss measures that might be taken for long term operation away from the support network.
