Nissan NV200 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2009-2021)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Nissan NV200 captures harmful fine particles from diesel exhaust gases to meet Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. It traps these particles on a porous surface, typically made of cordierite, before they are burned off during a regeneration process.

DPF regeneration occurs when soot accumulates and creates backpressure. The filter then heats up to around 600°C to incinerate trapped particles, either passively via the hot exhaust gases and catalytic converter or actively by injecting extra fuel. This typically requires driving for 20–24 minutes at 65–75 km/h or using a diagnostic tool like VCDS to force regeneration.

Nissan NV200 diesel models, primarily the 1.5 dCi engines with K9K codes, produced roughly between 10/2010 and 07/2015, come equipped with DPFs to comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards. Variants include the Van, Evalia Minibus, and versions with power outputs ranging from 86 to 106 hp.

• NV200 Van 1.5 dCi 90 hp (K9K 892) Euro 5/6
• NV200 1.5TD dCi DPF 86 hp (K9K) Euro 5
• NV200 Evalia Minibus 90 hp (K9K 892) Euro 5/6
• NV200 1.5TD dCi 106 hp (K9K) Euro 5

The DPF is often combined with the catalytic converter in a single unit measuring about 1070 mm and weighing around 9.7 kg.

Signs of a failing or clogged DPF include:

• Increased fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• Illumination of the Check Engine light
• High backpressure causing reduced engine performance due to soot buildup

If these symptoms occur, the DPF should be inspected and serviced promptly.

DPF maintenance and replacement guidelines include:

• Recommended service interval: every 120,000 to 190,000 km
• Forced regeneration: driving 20–24 minutes at 65–75 km/h or using diagnostic tools
• Use of cleaning additives (e.g., 400 ml sprays) to remove ash deposits
• Avoid illegal removal of the DPF
• Replacement with original or high-quality OEM compatible parts and mounting kits

The turbo hose's gasket should be checked for leaks before any DPF repair due to known K9K engine issues.

Krosfou supplies brand new, original DPFs made in Europe from INOX 409 stainless steel with high-quality cordierite monoliths featuring advanced thin-layer coating technology. These DPFs carry the E24-103R certification, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications and European regulations for emission control.

• 3-year warranty limited to 100,000 km usage
• Manufactured under strict quality controls and TÜV SÜD Automotive GmbH certification
• Designed for optimal durability and performance, often improving vehicle horsepower slightly

They are a reliable choice for Nissan NV200 diesel vans and equipped with mounting kits for proper installation.

To determine if your DPF is clogged, watch for fuel consumption increase, reduced engine power, or warning lights on your dashboard. You can also have the vehicle’s diagnostic log checked for pressure sensor readings or DPF-related error codes. Professional tools or garages can perform active regeneration or DPF cleaning if necessary.

• Check engine light indication
• Backpressure sensor readings via diagnostic equipment
• Driving performance and fuel efficiency drop

Early diagnosis can prevent costly replacements and engine damage.
