Citroen Jumpy / Dispatch Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The DPF in the Citroën Jumpy / Dispatch (notably 2.0 HDi engines with codes DW10CD, AHZ) is a crucial part of the exhaust system designed to trap harmful diesel soot particles. Made from silicon carbide or cordierite, it collects toxic particles such as carbon, hydrocarbons, and sulfates to reduce emissions in compliance with Euro 5 standards, often working together with the catalytic converter.

This DPF is compatible with the following vehicles and engines:

• Citroën Jumpy (Van, II, SpaceTourer/Combi)
• Peugeot Dispatch / Expert
• Toyota ProAce (equivalent models)
• Engines: 2.0 HDi 125/128/150 hp (codes DW10CD, AHZ, DW10CD_FAP_DTR, RHK (DW10UTED4)) and 1.6 BlueHDi Euro 6
• Production period: April 2011 to March 2016 for Euro 5 models

These DPFs are for vehicles fitted with original Euro 5 standard particulate filters including necessary mounting parts like clamps and silent blocks.

The DPF is located downstream of the catalytic converter and traps soot particles emitted by the diesel engine. Soot accumulates mainly during city driving at low temperatures.

• Passive regeneration occurs at 550-600°C during highway driving to burn off soot.
• Active regeneration injects extra fuel to heat the catalytic converter and the DPF faster, triggered when soot builds up beyond a threshold.
• The PSA group uses a fuel additive to enable regeneration at a lower temperature around 450°C.
• Driving steadily at 60-80 km/h for 25-30 minutes helps perform passive regeneration and reduce soot accumulation.

Forced cleaning can be done using diagnostic tools like VCDS, but ash residues remain and slowly accumulate within the filter.

DPF maintenance involves periodic cleaning and eventual replacement to ensure proper engine performance and emission control.

• Initial replacement is generally recommended around 180,000 km, then every 30,000 km thereafter (some sources suggest up to 160,000 km intervals).
• Replacement is relatively straightforward: remove the exhaust line segment, fit the new DPF with the appropriate clamps and gaskets, and tighten to specified torque using a torque wrench.
• Specialised mounting kits like MK3909 help during installation.
• Step-by-step maintenance guides and videos are available for reference.

Always ensure the DPF is compatible with your vehicle’s engine code and emission standard for best results.

A defective DPF usually causes:

• Increased fuel consumption.
• Loss of engine power and responsiveness.
• Illumination of the 'Check Engine' warning light on the dashboard.
• Frequent clogging due to excessive soot or ash build-up, especially with short urban trips where regeneration is insufficient.

If these symptoms appear, have your vehicle diagnosed using an OBD scanner or by a qualified technician to check for DPF-related error codes.

When buying a new DPF for your Citroën Jumpy / Dispatch, keep in mind:

Prices vary depending on the specific model and motor code, generally ranging from roughly €199 to €520 excluding taxes and delivery.

• High-quality filters are made from silicon carbide or cordierite ceramic materials.
• Look for products certified with E24-103R approval to ensure they meet stringent European emission standards.
• Purchase from reputable suppliers who provide warranty and support, such as a 3-year warranty covering up to 100,000 km usage.

Always verify the product’s compatibility using your vehicle’s VIN or original reference number before purchasing.

Professional technical support is recommended for accurate diagnostics and installation.

• Use official manuals and step-by-step guides to assist with DPF maintenance or replacement procedures.
• Verify DPF compatibility by providing your vehicle’s VIN or production number (OPR) to suppliers or mechanics.
• Consider diagnostic tools like VCDS to perform forced DPF cleaning and check error codes.
• Consult trained PSA garages or qualified automotive specialists for complex repairs.

Accurate DPF care ensures longevity and helps maintain low emissions from your diesel vehicle.

There are several trusted online resources and catalogs to consult for technical specs, part references, and advice:

• Manufacturer’s documentation and official catalog listings.
• Specialized automotive parts websites offering detailed compatibility charts and installation instructions.
• Free online tutorials, videos, and forums sharing user experiences and troubleshooting tips.
• Technical manuals (RTA) for in-depth guidance on maintenance and replacement.

Always cross-check part numbers and vehicle specifications to ensure you select the correct product for your model.

For any doubts, contacting a professional or using diagnostic tools is strongly advised to avoid incorrect installation or damage.
