These overland truck builders have mostly no experience with newer models and Euro4 upwards. Because not many use them.
Here see you some of them get stranded and how they could solve it:
4x4tripping: Using an Euro5 Diesel car for an worldtrip?
The manufacturer usually had to be involved , or an specialist. They do a downgrade to Euro3 or less.
An Overland truck builder usually do other stuff, they have to train about, when more people start to use these newer models. What they do....
My little research shows that mercedes is better there, has experience how to resolve it, while VW users spend their money to clean (and replace from time to time) their DPF. In both cases it is hard to catch a guy even from the manufacturer who has knowledge about.
