Fiat Doblo Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on Fiat Doblo diesel engines captures soot particles from exhaust gases to comply with pollution standards like Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 6. It helps reduce harmful emissions but tends to clog quickly during urban driving, leading to power loss, engine warning lights, and reduced performance mode.

Compatible models and DPF details include:

• Fiat Doblo 1.3 JTD Multijet (2005-2010, Euro 4): Engines with 1248 cc, 62 kW / 85 hp or 75 hp variants. New DPF reference DPF031 with mounting kit included, positioned under the seat.
• Fiat Doblo 1.6 D Multijet (from 03/2015, Euro 5/6): Engine code 263A7.000, new DPF reference PAM1309DPF available in stock.

All replacements are manufactured in Europe, comply with French standards, and come with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Typical signs include:

• Loss of power and reduced vehicle performance
• Black smoke emissions
• Increased fuel consumption
• Illuminated DPF or engine warning lights
• Entry into limp mode with limited speed

These symptoms indicate DPF blockage requiring attention.

DPF regeneration burns off trapped soot by heating the filter to temperatures above 600°C. Natural regeneration occurs during long drives at high engine speeds.

• For urban or stop-and-go driving, regeneration can be assisted by adding liquid additives to fuel or driving at 3,000 to 4,000 RPM.

Regular highway driving helps maintain DPF performance and prevents clogging.

Yes. Professional cleaning machines like the Bardahl 360 5-in-1 system offer a 1-hour procedure that flushes and regenerates the DPF without removal. The process involves:

• Connection to vehicle battery and pressure sensor
• Injection of cleaning fluid into fuel tank and DPF
• Selection of cleaning program: normal/preventive or severe/curative
• Rinse and fuel regeneration steps
• A 20-minute road test to complete regeneration

This method effectively removes soot build-up and restores performance.

Options include:

• New DPF units with mounting kits for different Fiat Doblo models
• Professional cleaning and restoration services at competitive prices
• Garage replacement service with associated costs starting around £1,000
• Electronic DPF removal and engine reprogramming as an alternative solution (consult experts)

DIY tutorials and illustrated manuals are also available to assist in self-replacement tasks.

Recommended maintenance tips include:

• Favoring longer, high-speed drives rather than short urban trips to facilitate regeneration
• Using approved additives to assist soot combustion
• Regularly checking engine oil quality and changing it as per manufacturer recommendations
• Monitoring warning lights and addressing issues promptly to prevent damage

Proper use and attention extend DPF lifespan and optimize vehicle performance.

Useful resources include:

• Online video tutorials demonstrating cleaning procedures and replacements
• Professional advice from specialized technical teams offering vehicle-specific diagnostics and part compatibility checks
• Access to catalogs with genuine new parts made in Europe and covered by warranty
• Forums and communities dedicated to Fiat Doblo for user experiences and tips
