Renault Modus Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on Renault Modus, including the Grand Modus, is an essential emission control device fitted to the 1.5 dCi diesel engines (engine codes JP1D and JP0F) primarily to meet Euro 5 emission standards. It captures fine soot particles from exhaust gases and requires regular regeneration to prevent clogging and maintain performance.

The DPF is fitted on Renault Modus and Grand Modus 1.5 dCi models produced between August 2010 and October 2012 (with JP1D engine for Euro 5). Some earlier models with JP0F engine code might also have a DPF. To verify if your car is equipped, check the VIN or consult diagnostic tools and Renault forums.

A clogged DPF can cause several noticeable issues :

• Warning lights indicating a blocked DPF and degraded engine oil quality.
• Loss of engine power and unstable RPM.
• Increased fuel consumption.
• If the car is highly used (over 400,000 km), regeneration might fail and replacement becomes necessary.

Timely diagnosis is essential to avoid engine damage and costly repairs.

Forced regeneration requires a diagnostic tool (OBD scanner) connected to the Renault Modus 1.5 dCi. The procedure typically lasts 30-45 minutes and should be done carefully following these steps :

• Prepare the car: engine warm, fuel tank > 1/4 full, no active engine faults, and a safe environment free of flammable materials.
• Connect the diagnostic tool and select "DPF Regeneration" function.
• Turn on dipped headlights, set fan to max (or medium), keep engine idle; RPM will automatically rise to 2500-3000.
• Monitor exhaust temperature (~420°C) and filter pressure during the process.
• Stop regeneration safely using the diagnostic tool or vehicle controls if necessary.
• After completion, turn off the engine and perform an oil change as recommended by Renault.

Interrupting the process prematurely can cause damage. Always follow safety and manufacturer guidelines.

Replacement is needed when :

• The DPF is irreversibly blocked and regeneration is not possible (e.g., very high mileage over 400,000 km).
• Physical damage or failure detected during diagnostics.
• Persistent engine warning lights related to the DPF after multiple regeneration attempts.

Brand new DPFs specifically designed for Renault Modus 1.5 dCi (2010-2012) are available with full mounting kits and come with a 3-year warranty for quality assurance.

Good maintenance and driving habits help :

• Prefer regular long motorway drives to allow automatic passive regeneration at high exhaust temperatures.
• Check DPF status and engine regularly with diagnostic tools.
• Avoid removing or modifying the DPF, as this is illegal and causes technical inspection failure.
• Always perform an engine oil change after forced regeneration to maintain engine health.
• Verify your vehicle model and engine code to confirm DPF presence before purchasing or servicing.

Following these tips ensures your car's emission system remains efficient and compliant with emission regulations.

Always confirm part compatibility using your vehicle’s VIN or engine code before ordering.

To check if your Renault Modus is equipped with a DPF :

• Check the engine code: 1.5 dCi models with JP1D or JP0F engines usually have a DPF.
• Use your VIN in online forums or official diagnostic tools to confirm.
• Look for dashboard indications or ask a professional to scan your vehicle.
• Review your car’s emission standard compliance, as Euro 5 diesel engines mandate fitting a DPF.

If uncertain, consulting a qualified Renault service or using an OBD diagnostic tool is recommended to confirm DPF presence and condition.
