Dacia Lodgy Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2012-2022)

The DPF on the Dacia Lodgy is a device installed on diesel 1.5 dCi engines (85cv to 110cv) designed to capture fine particulate matter from exhaust gases. It helps reduce pollution by filtering soot particles before they are emitted into the atmosphere. Petrol engine versions of Lodgy do not have a DPF.

No, the DPF is only installed on diesel versions, specifically the 1.5 dCi models (85, 90, 107, 109, 110 cv). Petrol variants such as 1.2 TCe, 1.6, LPG, and SCe are not equipped with a DPF.

The replacement cost of a DPF on a Dacia Lodgy varies by engine model, with prices ranging roughly from €272 to €1,150, including parts, dismantling, and labour.

• Lowest replacement costs: 1.5 dCi 90cv (around €272-322).
• Highest replacement costs: 1.6 SCe models (€1,113-1,150).
• Labour time ranges between 54 minutes and 2 hours 11 minutes depending on model.

For example, 1.5 dCi 90/107/109/110 cv models require about 54 minutes of labour, while the 1.5 dCi 85cv version can take up to 2 hours and 11 minutes for replacement.

Maintaining the DPF involves regular cleaning to avoid clogging, especially if the car is used mainly for short urban trips:

• Use additive cleaning methods that inject gases raising exhaust temperature to burn soot.
• Encourage active/passive regeneration by driving at speeds over 60 km/h, ideally on a highway to burn off accumulated particulates.
• Consult tutorials and manuals for professional or DIY cleaning procedures.

Failing to maintain the DPF can lead to filter blockages, increased emissions, and possible vehicle inspection failures.

Yes, brand-new high-quality DPFs are available for the Dacia Lodgy’s 1.5 dCi engines (e.g. 90cv and 110cv versions). These parts comply with manufacturer specifications and European regulations, and come with a 3-year warranty.

Ensure to check engine codes (e.g. K9K626, K9K628, K9K629 for 90cv models) and vehicle registration for correct part fitment.

Common symptoms of a clogged or faulty DPF include:

• Illuminated dashboard warning light related to the DPF.
• Reduced engine performance and power loss.
• Increased fuel consumption.
• Unusual exhaust smells or smoke.
• Difficulty passing vehicle inspection tests related to emissions.

If you suspect DPF issues, a diagnostic check and timely maintenance or replacement are recommended to avoid further engine damage.

Detailed illustrated manuals and video tutorials are available online that guide you step-by-step to replace or clean the DPF yourself. These include:

• Tools needed for removal and installation.
• Safety precautions to follow.
• Procedures to safely clean or replace the particulate filter.
