Citroen C3 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an integral part of your Citroën C3's exhaust system. It traps soot particles produced by the diesel engine, reducing pollution and ensuring your vehicle meets emission standards.

The Citroën C3 DPF captures particulate matter in the exhaust. During regeneration, the DPF burns off trapped soot either naturally or through forced regeneration, maintaining engine performance and preventing clogging.

If you notice a DPF fault, you can try regeneration through driving or use fuel additives to assist the cleaning process. If that doesn't work, you may need professional cleaning or replacement of the DPF.

Driving at 2000 RPM for 50 miles can help with passive regeneration if the DPF is slightly clogged. However, if the DPF warning light remains on or the vehicle performance doesn't improve, further cleaning or replacement may be required.

The DPF warning light will typically appear on your dashboard during regeneration. You may also notice an increase in exhaust temperature or engine noise. Let the process complete for optimal results.

A clogged DPF can cause poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased emissions. Left untreated, it may even cause engine damage.

The cost of DPF replacement typically ranges from £150 to £400. Installation costs can add another £100 to £250. Krosfou offers affordable and high-quality replacement parts.

If the DPF warning light appears, try driving at higher speeds to trigger regeneration. If the light remains on, the DPF may need to be cleaned or replaced.

A particulate filter blockage happens when soot builds up in the DPF and cannot be burned off during regeneration, leading to restricted exhaust flow and reduced engine performance.

Although DPF cleaning is possible, it's usually more effective to seek professional help, especially if the blockage is severe.

Fuel additives help lower the burning temperature of soot particles in the DPF, making it easier for your car to regenerate. They improve engine performance and reduce the risk of clogging, particularly for short-trip drivers.
