Volkswagen Eos Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2006-2015)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on Volkswagen Eos diesel vehicles, especially the 2.0 TDI models, is an exhaust system component designed to capture fine particulate matter from exhaust gases. It helps reduce pollution by trapping soot and other harmful particles emitted by the engine.

Primarily, the Volkswagen Eos 2.0 TDI engines use DPFs, including:

• 2.0 TDI (engine code CFFB), 140 HP, Euro 5 standard, from 2010 onwards.
• 2.0 TDI (engine code BMM), from 06/2006 to 05/2008.
• Other compatible 2.0 TDI variants—always verify manufacturer specifications and vehicle VIN for exact compatibility.

Note: These DPFs are not suitable for biodiesel or rapeseed oil fuels.

Common issues with the DPF include:

• DPF warning light illuminated, indicating blockages or sensor faults.
• Loss of engine power or the vehicle entering a limp mode (reduced performance).
• Frequent clogging, especially in urban driving with short trips, where the DPF cannot properly regenerate.

Proper diagnosis is essential as sometimes a faulty sensor—not the DPF itself—can trigger warning lights.

DPF maintenance tips include:

• Driving for about 20 minutes on a motorway or similar road at 3000–3500 RPM in 4th gear to initiate passive regeneration and burn off soot.
• Using specialised services like engine decarbonisation to clean the DPF without replacing it.

Following these steps regularly helps prevent clogging and the need for costly replacements.

When replacement is necessary:

• New DPFs comply with Euro 5 standards and come with full certifications including E-mark homologation.
• They include mounting kits, PDF installation instructions, and guarantee a 24-month warranty.
• Ensure to verify exact fitment using your vehicle’s VIN and manufacturer details.
• Installation tutorials with videos and illustrated manuals are available for DIY enthusiasts.

Replacing with certified parts helps maintain compliance with environmental regulations and avoids issues during vehicle inspections.

Certified new DPFs are offered direct from factory with top European quality and 3-year warranty. Key points include:

• Manufactured in stainless steel with high-quality monoliths and unique thin-layer coating technology for durability and vehicle performance.
• Compliant with latest European automotive standards backed by TÜV SÜD certification.
• Available for most Volkswagen Eos diesel engines with quick delivery options.

Always confirm product compatibility by providing your vehicle VIN or engine code to the supplier before purchase.

To minimize DPF problems:

• Avoid frequent short urban trips where the DPF cannot fully regenerate.
• Periodically drive at higher speeds and engine revs to enable passive regeneration.
• Use the correct specification of diesel fuel, avoiding biodiesel blends that may damage the filter.
• Have the vehicle regularly diagnosed by a qualified garage for early warning light analysis.

Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of the DPF and ensures engine efficiency and environmental compliance.

For technical advice and parts compatibility confirmation:

• Provide your vehicle VIN or original part numbers to suppliers to check exact fitment and specifications.
• Access installation manuals, step-by-step guides, and video tutorials for fitting and maintenance.
• Contact professional support teams via email for precise technical follow-up.
• Some suppliers offer loyalty programs, bulk discounts, and used DPF buy-back services for sustainability.

Always use certified parts and trusted technical sources to ensure the best results with your Volkswagen Eos DPF system.
