Hyundai Santa Fe Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 2 (Ii) (2005-2012)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an essential emission control device fitted on the Hyundai Santa Fe II 2.2 CRDi (CM) models produced between 2006 and 2009 that comply with Euro 4 standards. It captures fine soot particles from exhaust gases and often works combined with the catalytic converter to reduce harmful emissions.

This DPF is compatible with the Hyundai Santa Fe II equipped with the D4EB 2.2 CRDi engine, delivering approximately 155 hp (114 kW). The compatible production years range from March 2006 to September 2009, depending on the source.

The main specifications include:

• Type: New diesel particulate filter, generally marked with E-mark certification (ECE-ONU R103 Rev.1 approved).
• Material: Typically made from silicon carbide (SiC) or cordierite, with SiC offering higher durability.
• OEM Part Numbers: Commonly 28990-27830, 28990-27230, and 28990-27820.
• Function: Combined catalytic converter and DPF ensuring compliance with Euro 4 exhaust and emissions regulations.

This DPF is designed for original installation or replacement to ensure proper emissions control and vehicle compliance.

Common signs of DPF issues include:

• Loss of engine power and reduced drive performance.
• DPF warning light illuminated on the dashboard.
• Forced regeneration cycles initiated by the vehicle management system.
• Excessive dark smoke or soot emissions from the exhaust.

Addressing these symptoms early can prevent costly repairs or replacements.

In some cases, mechanical replacement coupled with electronic reprogramming may be an alternative. This involves disabling DPF monitoring in two steps via vehicle reprogramming. However, verifying the vehicle's Euro emissions standard and legal compliance before proceeding is essential.

• Consult professional workshops or dealerships for compatibility and options.
• Ensure any modifications comply with local emission laws to avoid fines.

Always seek expert advice before considering such alternatives.

High-quality new DPFs certified for performance and compliance are available, offering:

• 3-year warranty covering up to 100,000 km use.
• Manufactured from stainless steel INOX 409 with premium ceramic monoliths.
• Strict adherence to manufacturer specifications and European standards.
• Complete assemblies often include mounting hardware and installation instructions.

Contact trusted suppliers or dealerships to ensure you receive a certified, original-quality DPF suitable for your vehicle model and engine.

Proper DPF service involves:

• Regular driving conditions that allow the DPF to reach regeneration temperatures intermittently.
• Using suitable fuel and oil products recommended for diesel engines with particulate filters.
• Promptly addressing warning lights and faults indicated by the vehicle’s engine management system.
• Professional cleaning or replacement when required to prevent blockages and maintain exhaust flow.

Routine checks by a certified garage can help detect issues early and keep your vehicle compliant with emission standards.

Certified original DPF replacements ensure:

• Compliance with regulatory standards (ECE-ONU R103 certification).
• Proper fuel economy and exhaust emissions performance.
• No requirement for re-registration or inspection changes post-installation.
• Superior materials like silicon carbide for durability and efficiency.
• Backing by warranty and technical support from reputable suppliers.

Choosing certified parts supports vehicle reliability, environmental protection, and legal conformity.
