Fiat Sedici Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2006-2014)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a crucial exhaust component in diesel Fiat Sedici models, especially the 2.0 D Multijet 4x4 versions from August 2009 to November 2014. It captures fine soot particles from engine gases to reduce pollution and comply with Euro 5 emission standards. Proper functioning is essential for your car's engine performance and environmental compliance.

The DPF is fitted mainly on the Fiat Sedici 2.0 D Multijet 4x4 (FY) versions produced between August 2009 and November 2014. Some older 4x4 diesel Sedici models from 2007 may also have a DPF, though not always Multijet engines.

Typical signs of DPF problems include:

• DPF warning light illuminated on the dashboard, indicating severe soot blockage.
• General engine warning light turning on.
• Loss of engine power or reduced driving performance.
• Error codes detected through ECU diagnostic tools pointing to DPF faults.

These issues are often caused by frequent short trips, excessive urban driving, unsuitable engine oil, or incomplete regeneration cycles.

DPF regeneration burns off accumulated soot at high temperatures to prevent clogging. Regeneration can occur automatically during normal driving or can be forced manually by specialists using diagnostic equipment. Driving at sustained high engine speeds (above 2000 rpm for 20–30 minutes) also supports regeneration.

• Automatic regeneration is the most common method during regular highway use.
• Forced regeneration requires an OBD tool or workshop intervention if the DPF is heavily clogged.
• Regular regeneration protects the DPF and prevents ECU error codes and power loss.

Failure to regenerate properly can cause soot to build up and seriously affect car performance.

Yes, professional cleaning services such as engine decarbonisation and DPF cleaning can restore filter efficiency without needing replacement. These services remove soot and residues without dismantling.

• Cleaning is recommended before the filter becomes severely blocked.
• Regular maintenance including the right engine oil (5W-30 ACEA C3) helps prolong DPF life.
• Cleaning can be a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire unit.

Consult a garage to assess your DPF condition and recommend the best solution.

If the DPF is irreversibly clogged or damaged, replacement is necessary. Krosfou offers high-quality, brand new DPF units specifically designed for Fiat Sedici 2.0 D Multijet models post-2009.

All parts comply with European standards and come with a 3-year warranty covering up to 100,000 km use.

• Installation guides and illustrated tutorials are available for DIY replacement.
• Replacement parts use robust stainless steel construction with advanced ceramic monoliths for durability and performance.
• Only use genuine, new DPFs — never reconditioned or used parts — to ensure reliability and regulatory compliance.

Replacing a DPF restores engine efficiency and helps maintain emission standards compliance.

The DPF warning light mainly indicates severe filter blockage or sensor faults. Causes include incomplete regeneration, aggressive urban driving profiles, or sensor errors such as pressure or temperature sensors failing.

• Diagnosis with an ECU scanner can identify the exact cause.
• Forced regeneration or cleaning may clear the light if caused by soot load.
• Replacement of faulty sensors or the DPF unit itself might be required.
• Reset procedures usually require a diagnostic tool after repairs or regeneration.

Ignoring the warning can lead to more serious engine issues or emission failures.

While some may consider removing the DPF, this is illegal under Euro 5/6 emission regulations and can result in fines and failed inspections. The recommended alternatives include:

• Regular driving at speeds above 50 km/h to support natural regeneration.
• Using high-quality engine oil (like 5W-30 ACEA C3) and premium fuel to reduce soot formation.
• Periodic DPF cleaning services to extend its lifespan.
• Prompt diagnostic checks to detect filter and sensor issues early.

Maintaining your DPF properly ensures compliance, engine health, and environmental care without costly replacements.
