What particulates? All modern diesel cars have DPF filters.


Many of which don't work.


All I see is an assertion for that with no evidence that I can check.

Euro 5 which effectively required a DPF came in around 2008/9. Any
vehicle older than 9-10 years could be belching smoke.

Many people have had theirs removed:

So I challenge you: how do you know they don't work? Have you been
observing smoke from old vehicles or modified vehicles?
