Peugeot Bipper Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2007-2017)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on Peugeot Bipper diesel models (mainly 1.3 HDi from 2007 and later) is an exhaust system component that traps fine soot particles from the engine emissions. It works in two main phases: filtration to capture soot particles and regeneration that automatically burns off the soot at high temperatures to clean the filter.

Frequent clogging occurs if the DPF regeneration fails, especially during short urban driving or low-speed trips. Typical symptoms include:

• Black smoke emissions on acceleration
• Loss of engine power
• Engine warning light (DPF warning light) illuminated
• Strong exhaust smell
• Car entering limp or degraded driving mode

These symptoms notably affect Peugeot Bipper diesel models as mileage increases, indicating a DPF issue that requires attention.

DPF issues can be diagnosed by checking the engine management light and running a diagnostic scan on the engine control unit (ECU). Important points include:

• Reading fault codes related to DPF or regeneration logs
• Checking the DPF warning light and other engine warning lights
• Monitoring driving conditions that impact DPF regeneration level

Forced or manual regeneration can sometimes be activated using diagnostic tools compatible with Peugeot, such as professional Peugeot Planet software, to clean the filter without replacement.

DPF regeneration is the process that burns trapped soot particles inside the filter at high temperatures to prevent clogging. It can occur automatically during driving conditions involving fast and long drives or can be activated manually.

• Automatic regeneration happens when engine temperature and load reach levels sufficient to burn soot
• Failure to regenerate often results from short urban drives or frequent stops
• Manual forced regeneration can be triggered with diagnostic tools when safe and appropriate

Proper driving habits help maintain DPF health and avoid premature clogging.

If cleaning or regeneration fails to restore DPF function, replacement is necessary to avoid damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Key details include:

• DPF replacement is recommended when the filter is irreversibly clogged or damaged
• Original fitment DPFs for Peugeot Bipper 1.3 HDi 2007+ are available with guaranteed compatibility (e.g., reference PAM1065DPF)
• Professional replacement costs may start from around £1100 and vary by region and mileage

Replacing the DPF may also require ECU adaptation to avoid warning light recurrence and ensure proper engine operation.

Yes, DIY replacement is possible with the right tools and knowledge. Detailed manuals and tutorial videos are available to guide you through the steps for dismantling the exhaust and fitting the new DPF.

• Ensure you have appropriate tools for exhaust system work
• Follow step-by-step illustrated guides for removal and installation
• Take care with sensors and ECU reconnection after replacement

If you are confused or inexperienced, it is safer to rely on professional garage service to avoid engine damage or check engine warnings.

DPF clogging is mainly caused by incomplete regeneration due to driving patterns. Prevention tips include:

• Regular long and fast drives to raise engine and exhaust temperatures for soot burning
• Avoid frequent short trips and urban driving that prevent full regeneration
• Keep up with scheduled maintenance and periodic DPF check light diagnostics

Proper care reduces the risk of issues like DPF warning light activation and loss of engine power.
