Dodge Caliber Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2006-2011)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an anti-pollution device fitted in the exhaust system of Dodge Caliber diesel vehicles, especially the 2.0 CRD engine (140 hp) from 2008 to 2010 (Euro 4 standard, ECE engine code). Its purpose is to capture fine particles from exhaust gases through a two-phase filtration and regeneration process to reduce pollution emissions.

The DPF traps soot particles in a passive filtration phase, then burns off the accumulated particles during an active regeneration phase at high temperature to avoid clogging. Common problems include the DPF warning light turning on due to clogging, which can lead to turbocharger damage. Symptoms include loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and ECU error codes related to the DPF system.

New, compatible DPF parts for the Dodge Caliber 2.0 CRD (from 01/2008 onwards) include original and aftermarket units. Product references include OEM part numbers and equivalent aftermarket references that meet required standards for emissions and vehicle inspection.

• Original OEM part compatible with Dodge Caliber

The Dodge Caliber 2.0 CRD diesel models can come with different engine codes such as ECE or ECD, each requiring compatible DPF parts. It is important to identify your car’s engine code to ensure the correct DPF reference and compliance with emission standards.

• Check the engine code on your vehicle identification documents or VIN decoder
• Refer to the vehicle’s manual or service documentation
• Consult with professional parts suppliers who can confirm compatibility based on your VIN

Using the correct DPF variant compatible with your Dodge Caliber engine code ensures optimal performance and avoids ECU errors related to particulate filter mismatches.

If uncertain, seek expert advice before purchasing or replacing the DPF.
