BMW X5 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is an essential emissions control component in your BMW's exhaust system. It captures fine soot particles before they exit through the tailpipe, helping reduce harmful emissions. The filter is located near the catalytic converter and operates alongside components such as the lambda sensor, EGR valve, oil temperature sensor, and manifold pressure sensor.

BMW X5 diesel particulate filters support Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 6 standards, depending on the vehicle model and year. They are designed to work in conjunction with the car's built-in regeneration cycles.

The cost of replacing a diesel particulate filter depends on the type, condition, and brand. Below is a typical breakdown:

• Original BMW DPFs: €800–€1,200
• Aftermarket filters (JMJ, Vegaz, Ridex): €300–€600
• Refurbished or reconditioned items: from €200

Each filter includes technical info such as diameter, weight, mounting hardware, and gasket compatibility. You can view this data directly on the product page before adding the item to your cart.

You can buy your replacement DPF directly from Krosfou. Krosfou provides the benefit of factory-direct pricing, fast delivery, and support from diesel filter experts.

Yes, if the filter is not fully saturated with soot particulate, several DIY cleaning methods may restore function:

• Add a DPF cleaner additive to the fuel tank
• Drive for an extended period to allow passive regeneration
• Remove the unit for deep cleaning at a professional garage

We offer step-by-step written instructions, a full cleaning guide, and supplementary tools for purchase. A video tutorial is also available on our content hub and YouTube channel. Avoid illegal modifications such as delete pipes or cat removal that bypass emissions controls.

Common issues caused by a blocked diesel particulate filter include:

• Dashboard warnings and check engine lights
• Limited drive power or limp mode
• Increased oil consumption and smoke from the tailpipe
• High differential pressure sensor readings
• Fault codes such as P2002 or P244A

These signs often indicate the need for filter repair or replacement. If you're unsure, a scan with an OBD tool or service check at a trusted garage can confirm the diagnosis.

Once your filter is cleaned or replaced, the system may still display a fault message. Resetting the light typically involves:

• Using a reset tool or professional diagnostic interface
• Verifying that pressure and temperature readings are within standard limits
• Following instructions in your BMW service manual for your model year

Some modern BMWs, including newer G05 variants, reset the system automatically after successful regeneration or installation of a new filter.
