Peugeot 5008 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Peugeot 5008, especially diesel versions like HDi 110/112 or 1.6 BlueHDi, is an exhaust component located after the catalytic converter. It captures, stores, and burns fine soot particles produced by combustion to reduce harmful emissions. The DPF operates in two main cycles: filtration (accumulating soot) and regeneration (burning soot particles at high temperatures).

A faulty or clogged DPF can lead to common engine issues in the Peugeot 5008, including :

• Loss of engine power and sluggish acceleration.
• Increased fuel and oil consumption.
• Illuminated engine warning light, clogging alerts, or limp mode limiting performance.
• Black smoke at the exhaust and frequent engine stalls.
• Specific "Service" warning light indicating DPF saturation risk.

These symptoms often stem from short city trips without proper natural regeneration.

DPF regeneration involves burning off accumulated soot particles to prevent clogging :

• Passive regeneration : Occurs during sustained highway driving where exhaust gases reach 550-600°C, burning soot into ash.
• Active or forced regeneration : Triggered at about 45% saturation, injecting fuel or chemicals to raise exhaust temperature (approx. 450°C with Peugeot's additive).

Peugeot 5008 models use additives to lower combustion temperature, but ash inevitably accumulates and requires occasional maintenance.

Maintenance options include :

• Non-dismantling cleaning (preventive and recommended):
  Step 1: Diagnostic check for errors and soot accumulation via OBD.
  Step 2: High-performance decarbonising product injection.
  Step 3: Forced regeneration to burn deposits.
  Step 4: Final verification and error code reset.
  This method restores power, reduces fuel consumption, helps avoid costly replacements (£2000+), and meets emission standards.
• Other approaches include long high-revving trips, fuel additives, or professional hydrogen decarbonisation services.
• Manual regeneration via diagnostics may be possible if natural process is insufficient for urban use.

DPF replacement is generally recommended every 150,000 km or as per the Peugeot maintenance schedule. Diagnosis is essential to confirm DPF failure before replacing, as other issues may mimic symptoms.

• The procedure includes removal, replacement, and pollution control verification.
• For keen do-it-yourselfers, guidance is available via technical manuals and video tutorials.
• Replacement cost typically ranges from £1500 to £2500 including parts and labour; dealer quotes are advised.

To prevent DPF clogging and failures :

• Regularly undertake drives longer than 30 minutes at higher engine speeds to allow passive regeneration.
• Follow scheduled preventive maintenance to avoid irreversible damage and failed inspections.
• Verify your Peugeot 5008’s diesel engine type (HDi 110/112, BlueHDi) via the VIN for specific DPF care instructions.

Ignoring symptoms can lead to permanent engine damage, increased consumption, and environmental non-compliance.
