Vauxhall Antara Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2006-2015)

A DPF is a filtration device fitted in the exhaust of diesel vehicles like your Antara. It traps and burns off soot particles from the exhaust gas to lower harmful emissions. The filter uses a process called regeneration to restore function, usually during high-speed drives. This system helps protect your engine and maintain optimal fuel efficiency.

Look out for these signs:

• DPF warning light on your dashboard
• Noticeable power loss or turbo lag
• Increased fuel consumption
• Excessive exhaust smoke
• Engine going into limp mode

These symptoms could indicate that the filter is nearing full capacity. Checking the DPF sensor readings or consulting a local garage for a pressure test is recommended.

Yes, you can attempt servicing first. There are two approaches:

• Passive/active regeneration: Take a long motorway drive to burn off soot.
• Heavy-duty DPF cleaner sprays or additives: These may help restore limited particulate filter cleaning capacity.

If these don't work and the light stays on, a DPF replacement may be the only fix. Make sure to select the correct item by model and bhp.

It's mounted on the exhaust system, close to the engine bay. In Euro 4 and Euro 5 models, it's often part of a combined catalytic converter and DPF unit. You'll usually find it by tracing the pipework from the turbocharger. Some Opel Antara and Chevrolet Captiva models share similar layouts.

You'll need the following:

• Engine code (e.g. Z20DM or A22DM)
• Year and bhp rating (e.g. 163 bhp CDTi FWD)
• Euro standard (Euro 4 or Euro 5)

Use our vehicle selector or contact our support team for tailored recommendations. We can help you view options, match the right fuel system (like direct injection), and confirm if the part is in stock.
