Mini Clubman Diesel Particulate Filter DPF R55 (2007-2015)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is fitted on diesel versions of the Mini Clubman R55 (2007-2015), especially the Cooper SD 2.0 143 hp with the N47 C20A engine and the Cooper D 1.6d 109 hp with the DV6TED4 9HZ engine (2007-2011), meeting Euro 4, Euro 6 or higher emission standards.

DPFs compatible with Mini Clubman R55 diesel models include:

• Cooper SD 2.0 143 hp: length 820 mm, Euro 6 standard, recommended replacement interval every 120,000 km, max ash weight 60 g.
• Cooper D 1.6d 109 hp: specific SIC DPF (ref. DPF-G0321S) for Euro 4 engines.

Other products such as DPF cleaning additives and powders are widely available to support maintenance.

A clogged or malfunctioning DPF can cause:

• Increased diesel fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• Illumination of the Check Engine warning light on the dashboard

If you experience these issues, have the DPF checked promptly to avoid further damage or higher operating costs.

DPF maintenance methods include:

• Passive regeneration by driving at 60-80 km/h for 25 to 30 minutes to reach the heat threshold that burns off soot deposits.
• Using diagnostic tools like VCDS to initiate forced regeneration cycles.
• Applying specific cleaning additives available in aerosol or liquid form (typically 400-500 ml) that help dissolve soot and ash.

Always check product compatibility with your vehicle model and follow manufacturer instructions carefully.

Popular DPF cleaning additives include:

• MOTIP DPF Cleaner (500 ml aerosol)
• Valvoline Remove Ash (400 ml, suitable for catalytic converters and DPFs)
• PETEC Cleaner (400 ml, silicone-free and transparent)
• BOLL Cleaner (400 ml aerosol)
• Wynn's W29079 (500 ml liquid)
• FACOM Cleaner (475 ml bottle)

These products help maintain the DPF efficiency and prolong its service life.

Useful resources include:

• Online automotive parts shops showing technical datasheets and compatibility for R55 DPF (search for "FAP Mini Clubman R55").
• Specialist DPF providers with detailed product info for specific engines like the SIC DPF for 1.6d.
• Community forums and YouTube tutorials on DPF cleaning, diagnostics, and regeneration for Mini R55 models.
• Official BMW/Mini online parts catalogs for OEM references and part diagrams.

Always verify compatibility by original equipment reference or VIN before ordering parts to avoid fitment issues and counterfeit items.

Yes, the catalytic converter in your Mini Clubman R55 may accumulate deposits over time similar to the DPF. While it does not trap soot like the DPF, accumulated residues can affect performance. There are dedicated catalytic converter cleaning additives available that can be used, but always ensure the product is compatible with diesel engines and your vehicle model before use.

Using original or certified equivalent DPF parts is critical for proper functioning, emissions compliance, and vehicle diagnostics. Non-certified or poor-quality filters can cause premature clogging, engine warning lights, failed emissions tests, and even damage to the engine or exhaust system.

• Certified DPFs meet European regulations and automotive standards.
• High-quality parts are often constructed in stainless steel with advanced ceramic monolith technology for durability.
• They ensure optimal filtration performance, lower backpressure, and better fuel efficiency.
