Chevrolet Orlando Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2010-2018)

The DPF is a component of the exhaust system on the Chevrolet Orlando 2.0 CDI diesel engine (engine code LNP) that captures and reduces fine particulate emissions (soot). It helps the vehicle comply with Euro 5 emission standards by filtering harmful diesel particulates before they exit the exhaust.

Signs a DPF is clogged include:

• Illumination of the engine warning light or DPF warning light on the dashboard
• Loss of engine power due to exhaust gas blockage
• High soot accumulation beyond 50 grams, requiring forced regeneration with a diagnostic tool

Automatic regenerations normally occur between 40-50 grams of soot accumulation. Exceeding this causes clogging requiring service intervention.

Several chemical cleaning methods can be applied via the differential pressure sensor near the DPF without dismantling it:

• Use of Xenum DPF Spray (ref. 4274400) aerosol injected through the sensor port in short bursts of 2-3 seconds.
• Allow the cleaning foam to act for 10 minutes, then run the engine at idle for 5 minutes with a container to catch liquefied residues under the exhaust.
• Follow with a 20 km test drive to burn remaining soot and restore optimal pressure levels (~6-8 mbar at idle).

Always place a tray to collect rinsing residues, avoid product backflow into the sensor, and never run the engine with the exhaust dismantled to maintain proper pressure.

Regular automatic regeneration occurs to burn trapped soot. When soot level exceeds 40-50 grams, forced regeneration via diagnostic tools may be required. After cleaning, it is crucial to:

• Clear any fault codes and reset the DPF adaptation in the engine control unit
• Drive the vehicle for at least 20 km to stabilize the DPF operation and pressure sensor readings

This maintenance routine prolongs the life of the DPF and helps avoid costly replacements.

Yes. There are high-quality, brand-new DPF parts designed specifically for Chevrolet Orlando 2.0 CDI (engine code LNP) models:

• Standard and premium DPF replacements compliant with Euro 5 emissions
• Manufactured with high-grade stainless steel and coated monoliths for durability and performance
• Typically come with up to 24 months warranty and free shipping options

Use the exact engine code or OEM number to ensure compatibility when purchasing replacement parts.

Krosfou offers a 3-year warranty on new DPFs, limited to use under 100,000 kilometers. Warranty conditions include:

• Proper installation by a qualified garage following all manufacturer instructions
• Replacement of all related gaskets, sensors, and injectors as required
• Regular vehicle maintenance and avoidance of short trips preventing engine from reaching operating temperature
• DPF replacement also requires replacement of catalytic converters upstream/downstream if applicable

The warranty covers factory defects but excludes damage from neglect or improper use (e.g., clogged DPF due to lack of regeneration).
