Is there a DPF filter in a 2004 Vauxhall Corsa Energy 3dti?

I've found one entry in a forum saying 'no'. Can anyone 100% confirm this?

Thanks!

    Buyer beware:

    COMMON THING THE CAMSHAFT SNAPPING ON THE 1.3 CDTI ENGINE CODE Z13DT ITS ALL DUE TO POOR CASTING AND WHEN IT SNAPPS IT TAKES OUT THE ROCKERS AND ROCKER ARMS AND A SMALL ROUND COG THE BEST WAY IS TO GO ON EBAY AND FIT A NEW TIMING CHAIN KIT THEN REFIT THE NEW CAMSHAFT BUT THERE NOT CHEAP THERE £352 PLUS VAT AT VAUXHALL DEALERS IVE DONE 4 OF THESE CORSA CDTI 1.3 ENGINES AND ALL THE SAME FAULT SNAPPED CAMSHAFT GOOD ENGINES OTHERWISE I THINK VAUXHALL SHOULD BE TAKEN TO COURT AS THE SAME CAMSHAFTS ARE FITED IN THE CORSA D AND THE MERIVA ETC AND ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN THEY SNAPP ON YOU JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BREAKDOWN RECOVERY ON THE 1.3 CDTI WITH CHEAP SNAPPABLE CAMSHAFT THAT CAN FAIL ON YOU WHEN YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOWHERE LIKE IT DID TO ME ON THE 1ST CORSA CDTI

    nope.

    DPS have been used on cars as old as 2004 onwards.

    i think in this case VX used the DPF on the corsa's in 2006 onwards.

    your pm box is full debtmonkey
    here is my reply to you though
    no worries
    oil oil and new oil as apparently the long service regimes causes the i assume tensioner not to take up the slack on initial start up thus allowing the chain to jump,also could cause turbo issues
