Porsche Cayenne Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The DPF captures tiny particles—mainly soot—before they exit through the tailpipe. This protects air quality and ensures your Cayenne diesel meets legal emission limits. Every modern diesel vehicle, especially post-Euro 4, is equipped with a particulate system like this.

Here are the common symptoms:

A dashboard warning like "Check Filter" or "DPF Full"

Sluggish acceleration or a manual/auto mode delay

Unusual fuel use or exhaust gas noise

The engine running hotter than normal

If you're seeing this, the filter may need cleaning or, in worse cases, replacement.

Only for a short time. A clogged DPF can restrict airflow, strain your engine, and lead to damage in your converter, sensors, or EGR valve. We recommend stopping to assess the condition or booking a DPF regeneration as soon as possible.

Depending on the severity of blockage:

Passive regeneration: Drive on the motorway to trigger a burn-off cycle.

Use a DPF cleaning kit or diesel fuel additive.

Book a professional regeneration at a garage using diagnostics.

These processes often restore filter flow—unless the filter is too far gone.

Regeneration clears the DPF by raising the exhaust gas temperature. It can happen passively (normal driving), actively (triggered by the ECU), or through manual intervention at a workshop. If regeneration fails, a replacement unit may be needed.

The cost for a diesel particulate filter for the Porsche Cayenne typically ranges from £200 to £600, depending on the brand, engine year, and whether you're buying a full kit with pipe and sensor, or just the core unit. We keep prices competitive with direct-from-manufacturer pricing.

OEM filters come from the vehicle's original supplier, while aftermarket filters (like Krosfou's) are made to match or exceed those specs. All our DPFs meet EEC compliance, include full warranty terms, and are designed for seamless fitment and quality performance.

Not usually. A used filter may already be blocked or near its end-of-life. It also likely won't include any warranty or info on its past condition. For peace of mind and full emission control, a new purchase from a reliable brand is your safest bet.

Yes—many Cayenne 3.0 TDI units share filter systems with other VW Group models, like the Touareg. Always double-check with us or refer to the part's technical data for a perfect match.

If your filter is still in decent shape, a cleaning and regeneration may be enough. But if it's cracked or heavily blocked, it's smarter (and cheaper long-term) to go for a replacement. We'll help you choose the right option.
