Peugeot 5008 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Peugeot 5008 diesel is an exhaust gas post-treatment system designed to remove 99.9% of particulate matter emitted by the diesel engine. It is positioned on the exhaust line after the catalytic converter and uses advanced ceramic substrate technology to trap fine particles.

The Peugeot 5008 DPF operates by filtering soot and fine particles from the exhaust gases. It uses a ceramic substrate with filtration thresholds of 0.1 micron to capture particles. PSA Group technology includes a fuel additive that lowers the combustion temperature of particles from 550°C to 450°C, aiding in regeneration efficiency.

There are two main regeneration processes:

• Passive Regeneration: Occurs automatically during normal driving at sufficient exhaust temperatures (550-600°C) to burn trapped particles without driver intervention.
• Active Regeneration: When exhaust temperatures are low during city driving or idling, the engine management system injects fuel into the exhaust to raise filter temperature and burn particles.

After regeneration, ash remains in the filter and is managed by the engine's control system until maintenance is required.

For the Peugeot 5008 II 2.0 BlueHDi 177 HP, the recommended replacement interval for the DPF is between 130,000 and 190,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance includes:

• Manual regeneration by driving at 60-80 km/h for 25-30 minutes to reach the required temperature to clear ash deposits.
• Professional forced regeneration using diagnostic tools if needed.
• Chemical cleaning at home can reduce filter pressure differential and help maintain performance.

Always check your vehicle’s service schedule and consult a qualified professional for maintenance.

A defective DPF may cause the following issues:

• Increased fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• Illumination of the 'Check Engine' warning light

If you experience these symptoms, it is important to have the DPF checked and serviced to avoid further engine damage.

The Peugeot 5008 diesel engines fitted with DPF include different variants depending on the model phase:

• 2.0 BlueHDi 177 HP (Phase 2) - Engine EHZ (DW10FC)
• 2.0 BlueHDi 150 HP (Phase 1) - Engine RHE (DW10CTED4)
• 1.6 HDi / BlueHDi 150 HP (Phase 1)
• Older 1.6TD HDi engines equipped with DPF

Compatibility must always be checked according to the vehicle model and engine code.

Selecting the correct DPF involves considering your vehicle’s specific model, engine variant, and year of manufacture. It is essential to check the exact compatibility details before purchase. Using genuine, high-performance DPFs made from high-grade ceramics and stainless steel ensures durability and effective pollution reduction.

• Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) or engine code to confirm compatibility.
• Check product details including filtration technology and certification.
• Consider delivery options, warranty, and customer support when ordering online.

For best results, always pick quality-approved DPFs that comply with European emission standards.

When buying a DPF for your Peugeot 5008, consider the following:

• Choose new, original high-quality DPFs manufactured with stainless steel and certified by recognized authorities to ensure superior performance.
• Many suppliers offer a 3-year warranty limited to 100,000 kilometers, starting from the date of receipt.
• Free returns within 30 days are typically offered if the product is unused, in original packaging, and ordered with correct vehicle details.
• Various payment methods and shipping options are available to suit customer preferences.

Always buy from reputable suppliers who clearly provide product details, quality certifications, and customer support.
