Nissan NV200 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2009-2021)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Nissan NV200 1.5 dCi is a key component of the Euro 5/Euro 6 exhaust system. It captures harmful diesel combustion particles to reduce emissions. This filter is integrated with the catalytic converter and comes factory-fitted on models from around 2010 to 2015, specifically with K9K engines like K9K 608, 636, and 892 codes.

The DPF fits these main Nissan NV200 variants :

• NV200 1.5 dCi 90 CV (M20, M20M) with K9K 892 engine (10/2013-07/2015), featuring factory-fitted DPF and catalytic converter.
• NV200 1.5 dCi with K9K 608 or 636 engines (from 02/2010 or 04/2011) compliant with Euro 5 standards.
• The same DPF is also used in cross-application vehicles like Nissan Note, Juke, Qashqai, Pulsar; Renault Clio, Kangoo, Megane, Scenic; and Mercedes Citan and A/B/CLA/GLA CDI models.

The filter material is silicon carbide, certified for European regulations without increasing engine power.

Common warning signs include :

• Increased fuel consumption.
• Loss of engine power.
• Illumination of the "Check Engine" warning light.
• Excessive soot accumulation, with up to 60 grams of ash blocking the filter's effectiveness.

Recognising these symptoms early helps maintain emissions control and vehicle efficiency.

DPF maintenance involves the following :

• Passive regeneration: Driving steadily at 65-75 km/h for 20-24 minutes to reach optimal temperature for ash combustion.
• Forced regeneration: Using diagnostic tools like VCDS to initiate DPF cleaning cycles.
• Cleaning additives: Aerosol products specifically designed for catalytic converters and DPFs can help reduce ash deposits and maintain filter performance.

Regular checks and use of approved additives can extend DPF life.

The recommended replacement interval is every 120,000 km to 190,000 km to avoid functional issues. Replacement includes :

• Using original quality DPF spare products designed for Nissan NV200 engines.
• Approximate labour time for a 1.5 dCi 110 CV model is about 3 hours.
• Installation kits come with proper mounts and fittings for accurate installation.
• Detailed illustrated manuals and step-by-step video tutorials are available for professional mechanics and experienced DIY users.

Adhering to these guidelines ensures the exhaust and emission system functions reliably.

High-quality original DPF spare parts for Nissan NV200 are manufactured in Europe to strict standards, including stainless steel (INOX 409) construction and advanced silicon carbide monoliths.

These parts come with a 3-year warranty and technical support, with features including :

• Certification by recognized European automotive authorities.
• Strict compliance with European emission regulations.
• Direct factory supply to ensure competitive pricing and authentic quality.
• Expert technical assistance and installation guides available upon request.

Choosing proven European-manufactured DPFs helps protect your Nissan's exhaust system and the environment.

Yes, a clogged or faulty DPF can cause :

• Reduced engine power output due to exhaust backpressure.
• Higher fuel consumption as the engine compensates for restricted exhaust flow.
• Illumination of the vehicle’s dashboard warning lights, primarily the “Check Engine” light.
• Potential long-term damage if the issue is left unresolved, impacting catalytic converter and exhaust system components.

Timely diagnosis and maintenance are essential to avoid these problems.

To ensure proper fitment :

• Use your vehicle's engine code (e.g., K9K 608, K9K 636, K9K 892) to select the compatible DPF model.
• Confirm the European emission category (Euro 5 or Euro 6) that matches your model year and engine.
• Check OEM reference numbers against spare parts catalogs.
• Consult technical documentation or professional guidance for sensor positioning and installation steps.

Proper selection ensures your DPF works seamlessly with your Nissan NV200’s exhaust and emission system, preserving engine efficiency and environmental compliance.

If unsure, professional diagnostic tools or expert advice can help confirm the right product and its installation.
