Vauxhall Astra Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A particulate filter system, also known as a DPF, traps soot from the diesel exhaust. Installed between the catalyst and the tailpipe, it captures particles as you drive. Once full, it triggers regeneration, which burns the accumulated matter.

This process helps maintain safe air quality, lowers fuel emissions, and improves fuel consumption over time.

A warning light usually means the system is blocked and the particulate filter can't regenerate properly. Common causes include:

• Short trips that don't allow proper regeneration
• Poor-quality fuel
• Cold weather conditions

If not cleaned, it may lead to loss of power, excess soot, or even damage to the catalyst. This is a sign to either support regeneration or get the issue checked at a garage.

Some cleaning can be done by driving at higher speeds or using additives that help combustion. However, deep soot accumulation, high backpressure, or failed sensors often require full replacement.

Professional services like Krosfou focus on supplying genuine, direct-fit DPF units for long-term reliability rather than offering cleaning services.

If regeneration completes successfully or the blocked filter is cleaned, the warning should disappear after a short time.

If it remains on, the issue could be a sensor, pressure pipe, or another engine code error. A technician may need to inspect the system and perform a manual reset using diagnostic equipment.

The price varies depending on engine type, fuel system, and vehicle year. Products are available for 1.3, 1.7, 1.9, and 2.0 CDTi engines, all designed to fit Vauxhall Astra and Euro 4 fits Vauxhall emission specs.

Thanks to direct-to-consumer manufacturer models, prices start at £250. Each item is backed by a solid warranty.
