Does the Ford Kuga diesel have an Eolys-treated DPF system?
I am interested in a Ford Kuga Diesel, but have read that it may have an Eolys additive system on it. Going on various friends' bad experiences with this sort of set-up, I absolutely will not buy a diesel so equipped. Can you tell me for definite if the DPF is a coated type, or is it Eolys treated?

In my 2006 Peugeot 407 SW SE, diesel fuel additive should be checked at 70,000 miles and running out can lead to massive bills. Mine required three litres of additive at 65,000 miles at a cost of £75....
