In most European countries, the DPF was an option for the MY2007, for MY08 was 'std' but there were many unsold vehicles from the previous year that were sold as "2008" but without (since they were manufactured "earlier").
Check for a large canister close to the engine in the exhaust line, right after the cat (the entire assy looks like two "canisters" one after the other). Models without a DPF have a straight pipe instead after the cat.

This said, I have run my JK for 14K kms now without a trouble. I've also logged over 90K kms on company vehicles with FAP (different technology, same function) and only once I had a "disabling" failure.
I am still troubled by this system and not sure if I want to keep it in the Wrangler, but not because of fearing failure, but because I am not sure the breaking down of dust particles is actually worse: studies in Italy have demonstrated while anti-particulate filters are effective in containing and lowering PM10, the breaking down produced by the burning in the filters themselves might generate additional PM2.5 particles, virtually undetectable and potentially more harmful to humans.
Need to find more time to read on the matter ....

Still, we are lucky to get 22 MPG stock

The tree huggers are anti diesel here, they are very strict here in colorado unless its a farm truck or commercial truck.

Thanks for the information it is exactly what I needed, I wil check this morning and as my JK was actually built in 2007 and sold as a 2008 it may well not have the DPF.

Mine is also a 2007 built and sold as a 2008 and mine does not have a DPF filter.

Where I am in Australia they only introduced the DPF for MY2011 CRD JKs (and they have caused nothing but trouble for many owners) after we adopted the latest Euro emmissions standards.

I've got a DPF in my 2009 CRD in OZ

Is it possible to eliminate the DPF???
