Renault Trafic Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 2 (Ii) (2001-2014)

This component, also known as a particle filter, sits in the exhaust system and captures soot particles from the engine. It's a standard part in most Renault diesel engines, including variants like the Renault Clio with similar configurations. The filter helps limit harmful pollutants and keeps your car within legal emission thresholds. Over time, this part can clog, reducing performance and triggering alerts.

You may see a warning light on the dashboard, such as "Check injection" or "Anti-pollution system." These alerts could signal an airflow restriction, engine light activation, or issues involving the EGR valve, oil contamination, or fuel type mismatch. Addressing these issues early can prevent a costly repair.

Restoration options include:

• Passive regeneration during high-speed driving
• Active regeneration triggered by the vehicle's ECU
• Manual cleaning at a garage or full replacement

Cleaning is usually effective in the early stages. If regeneration fails or the condition worsens, a new unit may be required.

Basic cleaning solutions and kits exist, but they're not always thorough. Professional removal and high-temperature treatment provide more reliable results. If you want to restore factory performance, purchasing a new branded item with the correct label and specification might be the better choice.

Regeneration is a built-in process where high heat burns off accumulated soot. It happens automatically during longer drives or can be activated by the vehicle's system. Frequent short trips disrupt this process, increasing the risk of clogging and triggering system warnings.

Using a diagnostic scanner, you can check for specific codes pointing to pressure imbalance, sensor failure, or centre system blockages. These codes can identify whether the issue lies in the DPF, catalytic converter, or another connected part like the pipe or EGR valve.

The cost varies depending on your Renault model, the filter's construction, and whether it includes additional components like a catalyst. Prices range from around £250 for basic systems to over £1,200 for more complex solutions. At Krosfou, you'll find top-quality diesel particulate filter DPF units at our price, which is significantly lower than OEM rates.

At Krosfou.co.uk, you can easily search by model or fuel type to find the correct filter for your Renault or equivalent brands like Opel Vivaro or Vauxhall Vivaro. All items are available for online purchase, clearly labelled, and include compatibility charts for confidence before checkout. Our expert team is always available via contact to help with product selection.

You'll need the engine code (e.g., R9M408 or G9U630), model year, and emission category. Use our search tool or vehicle compatibility list to match the correct brand, series, and product. Each page is designed to ensure the right fit before you complete your purchase.

Most kits contain gaskets, fasteners, and mounting parts. Depending on your application, you may also receive sensor extensions, brackets, or a hose. Always verify product content details to ensure everything you need is included for smooth fitting.

Performance can also be affected by the catalytic converter, pressure sensors, EGR valve, and the fuel system. Failing to maintain or replace these components may lead to repeated filter clogging or inefficient regeneration.

All Krosfou parts are developed by experienced manufacturers, certified to EEC standards, and built for long-term reliability. Whether you're servicing a Mercedes, Renault, or another diesel engine, we offer only high-quality, tested products designed to fit your needs with confidence.
