Citroen Jumper Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The DPF on a Citroën Jumper is a key pollution-control component in the exhaust system, mainly for diesel HDi engines like the 2.2 HDi. It is made from porous silicon carbide and traps fine particles such as soot, hydrocarbons, and sulfates from exhaust gases. The trapped particles are periodically burnt off during a process called regeneration, reducing harmful emissions to near zero in compliance with Euro 4, 5, and 6 standards.

The exhaust gases pass through porous elements that retain harmful particles. Regeneration is the burning of soot inside the DPF, controlled automatically by the vehicle’s computer to occur passively (at 550-600°C during highway driving) or actively (fuel injection heats the catalytic converter).

Citroën Jumper models use a PSA additive that lowers the regeneration temperature to 450°C, easing the cleaning process on diesel engines.

To prevent clogging, it is recommended to perform a monthly passive regeneration by driving on the motorway for about 30 minutes at more than 3,000 rpm. This helps burn off accumulated soot and ensures efficient filter operation, especially if the vehicle is mostly used in urban stop-and-go conditions.

• Avoid frequent idling or short trips that do not allow full regeneration.
• Use quality fuel and ensure engine tuning is optimal.
• Consult a Citroën garage or use diagnostic tools like Lexia/DiagBox for precise status checks.

Ignoring the DPF warning light or cleaning needs can cause performance drop and costly engine damage.

The average lifespan of a DPF in a Citroën Jumper ranges from 80,000 to 120,000 km, often shorter with predominantly urban driving. Symptoms of a clogged DPF include:

• Illuminated DPF warning light on the dashboard
• Reduced engine performance and power
• Increased fuel consumption or smoke emissions
• Potential risk of engine damage if untreated

If the warning persists after a recommended 30-minute high-speed run, professional cleaning or use of a regeneration additive may be necessary.

The 2.2 HDi Jumper’s DPF configuration varies by Euro standard compliance:

• Euro 4: Uses a DPF alone with PSA additive regeneration at 450°C.
• Euro 5 and 6: Use a DPF combined with an integrated catalytic converter optimized for gas treatment, typically in models from 2015 onwards.

This ensures adherence to increasingly strict emissions regulations while maintaining performance.

Replacement costs vary by model and regulation:

• Euro 4 DPFs typically cost under €400 for the part alone.
• Euro 5 models may require parts under €700 including connecting pipes.
• Euro 6 DPF parts can be up to €1,000.

Garage installation labor adds to these costs, with typical workshop prices ranging from approximately €608 to €1,073 or more. Professional installation is advised following repair manuals and technical guides for safe removal and refitting on the exhaust line after the catalytic converter.
