Peugeot Rifter Diesel Particulate Filter DPF / Partner 3 (Iii) (2018-Today)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a crucial component fitted to Peugeot Rifter and Partner 3 diesel engines. It captures fine exhaust particles to comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. The DPF is often integrated with a catalytic converter and is designed for engines like the 1.5 HDi / BlueHDi and 1.6 HDi / BlueHDi models.

The DPF fits several engine versions and years:

• 1.5 HDi / BlueHDi 130 CV (codes YHT, YHW, YHY, YHZ - 2018 to 2025, Euro 6 compliant)
• 1.6 HDi / BlueHDi 75 CV (code 9HN, Euro 5 standard)
• Platform-shared Partner 3, same DPF specifications as Rifter including catalytic converter variants

This DPF is also compatible with certain Citroën and PSA vehicles based on shared platforms and engines.

The DPF collects particulate matter from diesel exhaust to reduce harmful emissions. Over time, soot builds up and requires regeneration, a process that burns off the particles to clean the filter. Regeneration can occur passively during high RPM driving or actively through system-initiated cycles using heat or additives.

• DPF regeneration is essential to maintain filter efficiency.
• Some DPF systems include an oxidation catalytic converter (OXI Cat) to enhance regeneration and emission control.
• Failure to regenerate may trigger warning lights and affect engine performance.

Regular driving at sustained speeds and RPM helps ensure active DPF regeneration.

Common symptoms of DPF problems include:

• Warning light on the dashboard related to the exhaust or DPF system.
• Reduced engine power or "limp mode" activation.
• Increased fuel consumption or unusual engine noises.
• Failed or irregular DPF regeneration cycles.

If you notice any of these signs, it is advisable to have your vehicle thoroughly checked by a qualified technician. Using diagnostic tools like OBD readers can help identify specific DPF faults or sensor issues.

DPF cleaning can be performed to restore efficiency, especially if soot accumulation is significant but before complete blockage:

• Active cleaning through controlled high-RPM driving to initiate regeneration.
• Spray cleaners or additives may be used but always with professional advice regarding guarantees.
• Specialised cleaning services involving DPF removal and professional cleaning equipment.

It is important to follow manufacturer or garage recommendations and check the warranty conditions when cleaning products or services are used.

Common OEM references include:

• 1679453880
• 9841854880
• SU001B3464
• FT5319, FCD2941, FSD2941 for aftermarket parts and mounting kits

Always verify compatibility with your vehicle’s engine code and year before purchasing or replacing the DPF to ensure correct fitment and Euro emission compliance.

The DPF is designed to meet strict Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission criteria for diesel vehicles, focusing on reducing particulate and NOx emissions.

• Euro 6 engines like the 1.5 BlueHDi require advanced DPF systems often combined with catalytic converters for optimal emission reduction.
• Euro 5 engines, such as the 1.6 HDi, use a simpler but effective DPF system compliant with their emission limits.
• These standards dictate filter materials and regeneration designs to ensure regulated exhaust cleanliness.

Using the correct DPF for your engine and compliance level is essential to pass regulatory checks and prevent exhaust system damage.

Additional resources include:

• Online forums dedicated to Peugeot and diesel vehicle maintenance for user experiences and troubleshooting tips.
• Technical manuals and official Peugeot repair guides for detailed procedures and system overviews.
• Video tutorials demonstrating DPF replacement and forced regeneration methods.
• Professional garages offering diagnostics and servicing with OBD tools capable of reading DPF sensor and error codes (e.g. P242F).

For best results, always check compatibility by VIN or engine code, and consider periodic active driving to keep the DPF regeneration active and prevent clogging.

If a garage proposes spray cleaner service, ask specifically what guarantee they offer on its effectiveness and any impact on the DPF lifespan.
