9-3 2 (Ii) (2002-2011)
The Saab 9-3 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) 2 is a crucial component in controlling diesel emissions and maintaining optimal engine performance. Positioned after the catalytic converter and before the silencer in the exhaust system, this advanced DPF uses a ceramic structure with numerous microscopic channels designed to trap up to 99% of soot particles from diesel combustion. This filtration not only helps reduce pollution but also complies with strict emission standards.
The DPF operates through two main regeneration processes to clean itself: passive and active. Passive regeneration occurs during regular driving when exhaust temperatures allow soot to burn off naturally. Active regeneration is triggered by the engine control unit, which adjusts parameters such as the EGR valve and turbo to raise exhaust temperature above 580°C for effective soot combustion. Regular regeneration intervals, typically every 500 to 700 km depending on driving habits, are essential for preventing clogging and maintaining engine power and fuel efficiency.
For Saab 9-3 owners, understanding the signs of a clogged or failing DPF—such as increased fuel consumption, reduced power, or warning lights—is key to timely maintenance. Professional cleaning solutions, like 360-degree machine cleaning, offer effective non-invasive restoration, while replacement is straightforward with expert labor times around 55 minutes. Choosing high-quality, durable DPFs ensures long-lasting performance and environmental responsibility for your Saab 9-3 diesel.

9-5 2 (Ii) (2009-2011)
The Saab 9-5 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) 2 is a crucial component designed to reduce harmful emissions from diesel engines. Positioned within the exhaust system, this advanced DPF is engineered to trap up to 99% of soot particles generated during fuel combustion, helping to keep the air cleaner and comply with stringent environmental standards. Featuring a high-quality ceramic core with numerous micro-channels, it effectively captures particulate matter while allowing exhaust gases to flow smoothly.
The DPF operates through filtration and regeneration cycles to manage soot accumulation. Regeneration is vital to maintain efficiency and engine performance, occurring in passive, active, km-based, or manual modes. Passive regeneration happens during long drives at high engine RPM and temperatures between 350°C and 500°C, while active regeneration involves the engine control unit initiating various processes to raise the filter’s temperature to around 620°C, burning off the soot. Manual regeneration can also be performed during maintenance using diagnostic tools.
For the Saab 9-5 2.0 diesel engines, including models equipped with 160 to 190 hp variants, a properly functioning DPF is essential to prevent power loss and increased fuel consumption. The system uses differential pressure sensors to monitor filter condition and control regeneration cycles automatically. Krosfou offers top-quality, durable DPFs made with stainless steel and certified ceramics, ensuring reliable performance and longevity in line with Saab’s high standards for emission control and engine health.
