If I suspect you have the OM651 engine you will have a cat before the DPF as on mine, only found out what is was recently myself when cleaning my own DPF. Didn't think a cat was in diesels until this. Probably why your garage man was on about 2 DPF,s.

Definitely wouldn't go back to him if he doesn't know the difference between a DPF and Catalytic converter

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the advice on location. I'm based in Bolton, but work in Stockport so I cover most of Manchester.

Won't be taking it there to sort, and I'll try the specialist finder you've just mentioned.
@John Laidlaw , or @SmartAmg might be able to recommend an independent for you

Will drop them a bell and see if they can give me a rough quote. Also rang DAS first thing and awaiting a quote from them.

Much appreciated for the heads up, Warrington isn't too far off if service and price are good :)

Yep, Wighty, I take mine to SDC Mercedes in St Helens, he's very good, but there's only him, so therefore very busy, could be weeks before he can see you,
unfortunately.

Bit of an update, DAS quoted me 250 (+vat) for the dpf clean. Oil and filter (Inc labour and vat) at £133.50 and the footbreak diagnosis as £70 per hour, and they said they'd probably be able to fix that in an hour. Altogether seems very expensive...

Also something to consider, could be a split boost pipe for the turbo. One side effect is clogged up DPF as the car doesn't run as well.
