Volvo C30 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2006-2013)

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of your car's exhaust gas treatment system. It captures and burns off fine soot particles that result from diesel combustion. This process reduces harmful pollutants and keeps your Volvo in line with Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards. Without a working DPF, your vehicle condition deteriorates and you risk fines or MOT failures.

A few signs the particulate filter may be compromised:

• Dashboard warning light
• Slow throttle response
• Drop in fuel economy
• Excessive smoke or unburned soot
• Diagnostic code such as P242F (filter overload)

If these symptoms occur, your system might need a thorough cleaning or full replacement.

Yes, if the issue isn't severe. You can use a DPF cleaner or additive (like SIC or EOLYS) along with a long, steady-speed drive to regenerate the filter. This method works best on 1.6D engines with additive-supported systems.

However, if exhaust flow is fully restricted, even additives won't help. That's when it's time to invest in a new filter kit, which comes complete with all necessary accessories and installation instructions.

Replacing the DPF is a job suited for a garage or experienced DIYer. Our fitting kits for Volvo C30 include:

• The correct filter housing
• Mounting brackets, gasket set, and connector parts
• Any supplementary hoses or EGR pipe links
• A printed or digital guide to follow

Once fitted, reset the engine control module (ECM) to clear error codes and start fresh with accurate data.

Every product we ship includes:

• A high-efficiency DPF unit compliant with Euro regulations
• Full gasket kit
• Optional pressure sensor pipes and supplementary components
• Vehicle-specific equipment like clamps or EGR manifold connectors
• Clear product details and easy-to-follow installation steps

Here are the top reasons for DPF problems:

• Short trips that interrupt passive regeneration
• Engine running rich due to faulty injectors or worn turbo
• Build-up of unburned fuel or exhaust gas
• Faulty EGR valve or sensor failure
• Use of improper oil types with high ash content

Maintaining your Volvo in good condition helps prevent these issues from recurring.

Use the Krosfou search tool. Just enter your engine code, select the right emission standard, and compare article details. You can also browse by:

• OEM or EEC-approved units
• Additive vs non-additive systems
• Size, weight, and core material (ceramic or metal)

If in doubt, our customer service is here to help.

You'll find the filter bolted to the exhaust manifold, just downstream of the turbo. A pressure sensor monitors buildup, and access is easiest underneath the car. For convenience, many choose to do the mounting at a garage with lifting tools.

Yes, used units may contain soot residue that can't be measured without lab testing. They often:

• Don't meet Euro approval standards
• Show unknown wear or internal cracks
• Trigger recurring fault codes

Buying a new, certified filter with warranty gives peace of mind and ensures engine performance.

Absolutely. As long as the item condition is unused and packaging intact, we accept returns according to our terms and privacy policy. Simply contact our team for instructions.

To complete the process:

• Use a scan tool to clear stored codes
• Let the engine idle, then drive normally
• Monitor for light indicators or fuel surges
• Confirm no blockage or pressure sensor alerts

This will help stabilize performance and verify everything is working properly.
