FORD Diesel Particulate Filter DPF Transit Connect 2 (II) (2013-Today)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a crucial component in the exhaust system of Ford Transit Connect 2 diesel engines (MK2/V408 series). It captures fine particles such as soot and ash to comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. It is fitted on various engines including 1.0, 1.5 TDCi, 1.6 TDCi, 1.8 TD/TDci, 2.0, and 2.5, with multiple OEM references.

DPF prices vary widely depending on engine model and supplier, ranging from approximately €12 to €2,200. Examples include:

• 1.6 TDCi 95 CV Euro 5 model with 740 mm length
• 1.6 general DPF around €957 including tax
• 1.8 TD/TDci with silicon carbide material recommended for heavy use
• 1.5 TDCi V408 model available with or without integrated catalytic converter at discount prices

Weights typically are 7 to 8 kg, with lengths between 640-740 mm depending on model and made from silicon carbide or cordierite.

Common signs of a failing DPF include :

• Increased fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• "Check Engine" warning light activation
• Accumulation of ash inside the filter, which cannot be removed by regeneration

Normally, the filter can hold up to 60 g max of accumulated ash before replacement is necessary.

DPF cleaning is done mostly by regeneration :

• Passive regeneration: Driving at sustained speeds of 60-80 km/h for 25-30 minutes to burn off soot.
• Active regeneration: Using a diagnostic tool to trigger forced regeneration to clear soot.

Preventing blockage extends the DPF’s lifespan and helps maintain engine performance.

It is generally recommended to replace the DPF every 140,000 to 190,000 km to avoid major faults and maintain optimal engine performance. Selecting the correct part reference for your engine variant (e.g., 1.6 TDCi TZGA, 1.5 TDCi CHC) is important for compatibility.

High-quality new DPFs are available directly from specialist manufacturers offering :

• 3-year warranty covering usage below 100,000 km
• Manufacture in stainless steel INOX 409 with advanced monolith technology
• Exclusive production certified by leading European automotive certification bodies

Ordering direct from factory ensures best quality and performance for your vehicle’s engine and emissions system.

Yes, an overloaded DPF saturated with soot can trigger engine management faults, reduce power and increase fuel consumption. Proper driving habits and timely regeneration are vital to avoid this situation. In some cases, professional cleaning or replacement may be necessary.

• Check engine light may come on after DPF service if soot clearance is incomplete
• Regular maintenance following manufacturer recommendations prevents overload

Consult a qualified expert for diagnosis and options if you suspect DPF overload.

Professional support includes :

• Compatibility checks via VIN or OEM reference to ensure correct DPF choice
• Installation manuals and expert assistance by email support
• Technical analysis on used parts to identify faults or failure causes

Reliable service and high-quality new parts help maintain your Ford Transit Connect 2 engine performance and compliance for years to come.
