DPF Blocked but it has been remapped out 🤦‍♀️

Ok, bit of a long one this....

2016 Ford Transit booked in for a Stage 1 remap. However, we found a problem with the DPF, C.V Boot unclipped, and front brake pad wear sensor missing....

The customer bought the van from a sales company, they put a fresh mot on abut it failed on excessive smoke. He was told that the dpf had been tampered with and that they would put a new dpf on and return the van to stock. (he has a receipt to show this being done).

The customer believed the van to be underpowered, and it would smell fumey now and again. Ok 🤔 Transits are generally pretty nippy, there isn't a lot of weight in the back of it and she shouldn't smell of fumes. 🤷‍♀️

As always (where possible), we run a file check first. It came back as a stock tune with a DPF patch. I've then done a quick back pressure check, and it shows as badly blocked. 😬

While under there, I've also found the O/S CV Boot to have slipped off as it was done up with a cable tie and the brake pad wear sensor missing. 🤦‍♀️

Unfortunately, the sales company he bought the van from put a DPF back on the van to get it through it's mot (2 years agao) but it hasn't then done a regen since because as far as the ecu is concerned, it hasn't got one. He's just very lucky that he only does short journeys, and we found it before it starts causing turbo and/or engine problems!
