There are some things that should never be taken with you in the car and some components that cannot be removed or tampered with, under penalty of high penalties. As much as one might think that the car is a reserved space, it is not.
Even in the car the highway code must be respected and its many rules that unfortunately not all motorists know. Those who know them do not respect them.
The law does not admit ignorancetherefore if you are stopped by the police at a checkpoint and if any discrepancies are found, you would risk getting a very high fine.
Highway code laws are no joke, that’s what you risk
Cars driving around the streets must respect the rules 100%.%, otherwise, there is a risk of important consequences or dizzying penalties that weigh on the shoulders of motorists in a period that is already not easy in itself.
This discourse is hand in glove with the decision taken by governments around the world and by administrations that are increasingly pushing towards green and eco-sustainable policies.
We travel at speed towards the environmentally friendly transition. Consequentially cars that pollute can no longer be accepted.
What you risk if you tamper with your car
In particular, we must pay attention to one thing, namely the particulate filter, which was introduced more than 10 years ago on diesel engines. The aim was to limit harmful emissions into the air and the environment.
Unfortunately, however, it has caused some problems not insignificant, on the functioning and performance of the cars, becoming more of a major limitation for circulation.
We therefore came to the conclusion that removing it from the car was the right choice to make. Not everyone knows that it’s actually risky and prohibited by law because you are going to damage the environment and in case of controls you can be punished.
In petrol cars the problem of performance case and filter clogging occurs much less than in fine diesel cars.
Either way, either way remove the DPF it is not the solution, nor is eliminating the EGR valves. Their elimination would cause the engine temperature to overheat, with an increased risk of melting down.
Tamper with, remove or modify the FAP can cost from 422 to 1697 euros, then you also risk the withdrawal of the booklet and finally you are forced to restore the FAP. In some cases, there is even a risk of imprisonment of up to 6 years and a fine of 100,000 euros.
