UK spec'ed diesels with DPF are being sold in Malaysia now. Can anyone (Bobby?) tell me if it is safe to own these cars (i.e. Can imported diesels with DPF cope with the Euro2 diesel available in Malaysia)?

If not - is there any independent in Malaysia who can be trusted with removing the DPF and sorting out the ECU accordingly?

Much of Australia's diesel comes from Singapore refineries and I assume much of Malaysia diesel also comes from there. The quality of aussie diesel while Ok is not the best.

We have diesels with DPFs and as far as I am aware there are no major issues.

The quality of diesel in Singapore is hugely different from across the causeway in Malaysia. While Singapore uses euro4 diesel Malaysia is still on euro2. I am no technical expert but as far as i know euro2 is much 'dirtier' and has much higher sulphur content. I am not sure if it is ok for EC spec'ed DPF diesel cars to use the lower grade diesel prevalent in Malaysia. It'd be great if someone knowledgeable on here is able to advice.

Thanks.

Where is Malaysian diesel refined?? 07MY RRS TDV6

Malaysia refines its own oil. I believe even the higher grade diesel used in the EC are often refined in Malaysia. But due to a lot of reasons, not least consumer resistance vis cost, lower grade stuff is used domestically.
