Nissan Juke Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2010-2019)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Nissan Juke diesel, mainly on the 1.5 dCi 110 hp engine (code K9K, 1461 cm³) from 2010 to 2014 Euro 5 models, is an exhaust component often integrated with a catalytic converter. Positioned under the seat, it measures approximately 1210 mm in length and weighs about 11.5 kg. The DPF captures fine soot particles from diesel exhaust gases to help the vehicle meet emission standards through passive or active regeneration processes that burn off accumulated soot.

Common problems include premature clogging caused by a faulty turbo hose with poor sealing. This defect triggers a dashboard warning light, power loss, and engine limp mode. It is essential to replace the turbo hose before any DPF repair or replacement to avoid repeated failures.

Other symptoms include engine blocking and potential overheating. More heat-resistant silicon carbide versions are recommended for better durability.

DPF regeneration is an automatic process which can be passive—using exhaust heat—or active, which injects fuel to burn accumulated soot. Maintenance also includes cleaning techniques such as:

• Ultrasonic cleaning to dislodge trapped particles with sound waves (professional method)
• Chemical cleaning involving injection of products that break down and flush out soot deposits
• Use of dedicated additives designed to clean and boost DPF function

DIY replacement manuals and step-by-step video tutorials are also available to guide owners on replacing the DPF on a Nissan Juke.

Key product references for the 1.5 dCi 110 hp diesel Euro 5 Nissan Juke DPF include integrated DPF and catalytic converter units about 11.5 kg and 1210 mm in length, supplied as kits with mounting accessories.

• Versions compatible with 2010 to 2014 models
• Manufactured to meet European standards with up to 3 years warranty
• DPF filters designed specifically for Nissan Juke diesel engines ensuring perfect fit and function

Always verify turbo hose condition and perform on-board diagnostics before proceeding with any DPF intervention.

Krosfou offers a 3-year warranty on all their Diesel Particulate Filters and catalytic converters. This warranty applies to products used within 100,000 kilometres and covers manufacturing quality and performance. Customers benefit from premium-grade stainless steel DPFs that meet or exceed OEM standards with TÜV SÜD certification for assured reliability and durability.

Cleaning or unblocking a DPF can be done by professionals or, in some cases, by vehicle owners with the right tools and products. Methods include:

• Ultrasonic cleaning to physically remove soot particles
• Chemical injection treatments that liquefy and flush out deposits
• Regular use of approved additives to maintain DPF efficiency over time

Videos and guides demonstrate how to perform regeneration or cleaning at home under appropriate conditions.

For newer petrol Nissan Juke models, a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) is used instead of a diesel DPF. The GPF captures carbon particulates during normal driving conditions, with automatic regeneration processes similar to diesel systems to maintain emissions compliance.

• GPFs are standard on petrol models from 2024 onward
• Designed to work seamlessly with the catalytic converter for optimum pollution reduction

Official Nissan documentation details care and operational guidance for GPF maintenance.

Additional resources include:

• Specialist websites offering product datasheets, diagnostics, and maintenance articles
• Online tutorials and video demonstrations for DPF regeneration and replacement procedures
• Expert blogs detailing advanced cleaning techniques like ultrasonic and chemical treatments
• Official Nissan manuals covering particulate filter care, particularly for GPF on petrol models

For any dashboard warnings or doubts, always perform a diagnostic test and consult a qualified mechanic before taking action on the DPF. Proper diagnosis ensures safe and effective maintenance.

YouTube and dedicated forums also provide community advice and experience sharing among Nissan Juke owners.
