Opel Combo Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a crucial part of the exhaust system in your Opel Combo diesel vehicle. It captures and removes fine particulate matter emitted by the diesel engine, helping to reduce pollution and comply with emission standards.

The DPF operates through an automatic regeneration process:

• Particulates accumulate on the filter walls while pressure sensors monitor the build-up by detecting pressure differences before and after the filter.
• When a critical pressure difference is reached, the system raises exhaust gas temperature above 150°C to burn off particulates, converting them into gaseous CO2 that passes through the filter easily.
• A catalytic converter metal oxide additive releases oxygen during oxidation, allowing regeneration at lower temperatures (below 100°C) for faster and more efficient cleaning.

This process occurs continuously during normal driving.

The DPF is used on the following Opel Combo diesel engines:

• 1.3 CDTI 16V producing 70-75 horsepower.
• Engine codes include Z13DT, Z13DTJ, and Y13DT.

These engines comply with Euro 3 and Euro 4 emission standards.

Opel Combo DPFs are made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance:

• Silicon Carbide (Carbide de silicium)
• Cordierite (Cordiérite)

These materials support efficient filtration and heat resistance essential for the oxidation process.

DPF replacement intervals for the Opel Combo typically range from 130,000 to 190,000 kilometers. Some data suggest servicing may be required between 80,000 and 140,000 kilometers depending on driving conditions and maintenance.

• DPF can be cleaned by active regeneration usually achieved by driving at 60-80 km/h for about 25-30 minutes.
• Special diagnostic tools like VCDS can be used to force regeneration.

Regular monitoring and timely service help maintain your vehicle’s performance and emission compliance.

If your Opel Combo's DPF is malfunctioning, you might experience:

• Increased fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• Check Engine warning light turning on

If these symptoms appear, have your vehicle inspected and serviced promptly to avoid further damage.
