Lancia Ypsilon Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an integrated filter in the exhaust system of diesel-powered Lancia Ypsilon models. Its primary function is to capture harmful soot particles produced by diesel fuel combustion, reducing pollution and helping the vehicle meet environmental standards.

DPFs are present on Lancia Ypsilon diesel models mainly from 2009 onwards. Notably, the 1.3 MJT diesel engine models built since approximately 2009 include a DPF as standard. Earlier versions of the 1.3 MJT 90hp engine did not have a DPF. The 5-door Ypsilon variants with the 1.3 MJT 95hp engine also feature improved DPF integration.

The most reliable method to confirm if your Lancia Ypsilon has a DPF is to physically inspect underneath the vehicle. Look for the distinctive filter unit within the exhaust line. Additionally, vehicle documentation or service manuals may provide information regarding DPF presence based on your vehicle's model year and engine code.

The primary challenge with DPFs is premature clogging, especially affected by driving habits:

• Short city trips : The engine and DPF do not reach optimal temperature for natural regeneration, causing soot buildup.
• Regular long drives : Typically no issues as the DPF naturally regenerates through higher exhaust temperatures.

The issue of clogging has been addressed in later versions, such as the 1.3 MJT 95hp model, with altered DPF positioning improving heating and regeneration.

Under normal conditions, the DPF requires no specific maintenance. However, if clogging occurs, a forced regeneration at a dealership or qualified workshop is necessary to clean the filter and restore function.

The DPF is compatible with various Lancia Ypsilon diesel engines, with known codes and standards including:

• Engine code: 199A3000
• Model years: 09/2006 - 12/2009
• Emission standard: Euro 4

Always verify compatibility using your vehicle's engine code and model year when selecting a replacement DPF product.
