Dacia Lodgy Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2012-2022)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Dacia Lodgy diesel, especially on 1.5 dCi engines, is a key exhaust system component designed to comply with Euro 5 or Euro 6 emission standards. It captures fine soot particles resulting from diesel combustion, helping to reduce harmful emissions from the vehicle.

The DPF is located underneath the vehicle near the engine, along the exhaust line towards the center or front depending on the model. Key associated components include:

• A differential pressure sensor on the pipe connecting the DPF to the air intake system, which measures pressure differences to detect clogging.
• Upstream and downstream pressure pipes and temperature sensors.
• Sometimes catalytic converter additives to assist regeneration.

These components work together to monitor and maintain the filter's efficiency.

The DPF is mainly fitted on 1.5 dCi diesel engines (codes K9K 846, K9K 666, K9K 612) with powers ranging from 90 to 110 hp. Models include:

• Lodgy 1.5 dCi (JS_ and Stepway) from 2012 onwards, Euro 5 standards.
• Lodgy 1.5 dCi J92 (90 hp) produced between 2012 and 2015, Euro 5.
• Lodgy JSJ9 with Euro 6 standard engines.

The original Renault part reference is 8LG 366 070-381.

The DPF filters solid carbon particles from exhaust gases. A control unit monitors pressure sensors for clogging, and triggers regeneration when necessary. Regeneration is the process of burning off the collected soot at high temperatures (~600°C), aided by catalytic converters or additives.

• This is generally automatic during normal driving, especially on longer motorway trips.
• An orange warning light may illuminate if clogging occurs, indicating the need for regeneration.
• Optimal use involves regular long-distance drives to allow passive regeneration; frequent short city trips may cause clogging.

The DPF lifespan ranges typically from 80,000 to 140,000 km with proper diesel engine operating conditions.

Common issues include soot accumulation causing exhaust blockage and increased back pressure. Symptoms are:

• Loss of engine power.
• Higher fuel consumption.
• Illuminated orange DPF warning light.
• Forced regeneration cycles.

Frequent short trips, low additive fuel quality, and improper engine oil reduce DPF life and engine health. The Lodgy dCi 110 model often shows ineffective filtration problems.

DPF replacement is recommended approximately every 120,000 km. Maintenance methods include using specialized cleaning products and additives such as:

• Aerosol cleaners (e.g., 400 ml sprays from professional brands) for catalytic cleaning.
• Diesel DPF cleaners (liquid additives used in fuel tanks).
• Occasional professional cleaning or a replacement of the full DPF assembly.

Always follow mounting instructions and ensure compatibility with left or right side positioning. Refer to the vehicle manual for specific diesel injection and regeneration operating details.

For more detailed diagnostics, it is recommended to consult a Dacia-certified mechanic or use OBD diagnostic tools to read error codes. Discussions and advice can also be found on:

• Dacia community forums focused on DPF sensor locations and warning light issues.
• Instructional YouTube videos explaining DPF sensors and regeneration processes.
• Official Dacia manuals available online for detailed operating instructions.

Note: Removal or tampering with the DPF system is illegal under Euro emission regulations and should be avoided.
