Land Rover Freelander Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 2 (Ii) (2006-2014)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in the Land Rover Freelander 2, mainly 2.2 TD4 models from 2006 to 2014, is an anti-pollution device designed to capture fine particles from exhaust gases. It meets Euro 5 standards and is specifically fitted to diesel engines like the 2.2 TD4 16V.

The DPF fits Land Rover Freelander 2 models with 2.2 TD4 diesel engines producing between 150 and 190 BHP. Relevant OE references include LR006765, LR022070, and LR29196, with equivalents like BM11047 and FPPL FCD7328 available. This DPF is suitable for models from 2006 to 2014.

Common DPF faults include clogging from urban or short trips preventing proper regeneration. The dashboard will show an orange DPF warning light indicating regeneration is needed.

• DPF warning light illuminated
• Loss of engine power
• Possible failure of differential pressure sensors
• Damaged pressure pipes, often during removal

To regenerate the DPF, it is recommended to drive at speeds between 60-112 km/h for at least 20 minutes to enable automatic cleaning.

Maintenance includes regular driving under appropriate conditions for regeneration and potential professional engine decarbonisation.

• Cleaning via engine decarbonisation services
• Replacement requires about 1 hour 24 minutes of labour
• New DPFs come with a 3-year warranty and certified quality
• Installation kits and detailed manuals are often provided

Before fitting, it is advisable to check all related sensors and pipes, ensuring no leaks or damages.

The DPF uses differential pressure sensors to monitor filter status. Fault code readings like B100A-15 or P2455-00 commonly point to sensor or clogging issues. Addressing sensor faults or faulty pipes promptly can prevent power loss or limp mode on your Freelander 2.

• DPF sensor faults cause warning lights
• Replacing damaged pressure pipes concurrently is recommended
• Diagnostic tools help verify sensor functionality and fault codes

DPF regeneration usually happens automatically, but to complete the process, maintain a steady speed and engine revs. Driving on motorway or open road at 60-112 km/h and in 4th gear for about 20 minutes encourages soot burning off inside the filter.

• Maintain speed between 60-112 km/h
• Use 4th gear and higher engine revs
• Avoid short journeys that cause clogging
• Regularly check DPF warning and diagnostic codes

Professional cleaning services and diagnostic checks can also help maintain efficiency.

High-quality new DPFs manufactured in Europe with stainless steel construction and certified by TÜV SÜD are available. These include full warranties and meet or exceed original part specifications.

• 3-year warranty coverage up to 100,000 km
• Certified quality and high-performance monolith technology
• Direct from factory products with quick dispatch times
• Free technical support and installation documentation available

Always verify compatibility using your vehicle VIN or engine type.

Whether you are in the UK or Spain, it is advised to consult with a specialist garage familiar with Land Rover diesel engines and DPF systems for fitting and servicing. Local garages or official dealers both can be options depending on expertise availability.

• Check local garage experience with DPF systems
• Ensure proper tools and diagnostic equipment are used
• Keep records of fuel filter changes and turbo checks
• Consider professional cleaning to negate frequent DPF faults

Proper maintenance extends the life of your DPF and ensures vehicle performance remains optimal.

Remember, using the correct engine oil suitable for DPF-equipped vehicles helps prolong filter life and prevent faults.
