Opel Vectra Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an exhaust emission control device fitted to diesel engines like those in the Opel Vectra. Its main function is to capture and remove soot particles from the exhaust gas to reduce pollution and comply with emission standards such as Euro 4.

DPFs for the Opel Vectra mainly fit diesel versions of the Vectra C produced from 2004 to 2008 with Euro 4 engines. Specifically, models with the following engines and versions:

• 1.9 CDTI engines: Z19DT, Z19DTL codes, available in saloon and estate (Caravan) body types, with power from 100 to 150 hp.
• 3.0 V6 CDTI engines: Z30DT, Z30DTE, with 184 hp, mainly for Caravan versions.
• 1.9 DTi/CDTi (Z19DT) with combined catalytic converter and DPF.

Always verify your engine code and Euro emission norm to ensure compatibility.

We recommend ordering DPFs directly from trusted manufacturers offering new, original quality products built with certified materials and advanced technology. For instance, Krosfou supplies high-performance DPFs made in Europe, manufactured in stainless steel with quality monoliths and a 3-year warranty.

• Search using your vehicle's VIN, engine code (e.g. Z19DT), or OE reference number for exact fitment.
• Purchase online with options for delivery to your address, garage, or pickup point.
• Check for warranty and return options for peace of mind.

Remember that only replacements are offered; post-equipment DPF kits are generally not available for Opel Vectra.

DPF prices vary by engine type and model year but generally fall within these ranges:

• For 1.9 CDTI engines: approximately €280 to €290.
• For 3.0 V6 CDTI engines: around €400.

Prices exclude shipping and installation, which should be carried out in a professional garage to ensure correct assembly and optimal vehicle performance.

DPF cleaning is important to prevent clogging and failure. There are special diesel particulate filter cleaners available as additives for the fuel tank; these products help maintain the DPF by assisting passive regeneration.

• Examples include aerosol spray cleaners designed specifically for Opel Vectra 1.9 CDTI or 3.0 V6 CDTI models.
• Regular engine operation at proper temperatures is necessary to enable the DPF’s automatic cleaning process.

If a DPF is clogged or damaged, replacement is recommended rather than cleaning. Always follow manufacturer and garage recommendations.

The most reliable way to ensure correct purchase is by:

Providing the exact engine code, model year, and Euro emission standard during your search or to the seller. A DPF should be compatible with your engine’s power and emission norm.

• Use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or registration number for compatibility checks when available.
• Consult product descriptions for OE reference numbers matching your original part.

Professional garage support during fitting is strongly recommended to verify sensor connections and system integration.

Quality DPF manufacturers like Krosfou offer a 3-year warranty limited to 100,000 km of use. Warranty conditions include proper professional installation and adherence to maintenance guidelines.

• Free returns within 30 days for unused, original-condition products purchased and delivered within Europe.
• Returns must be approved and follow the manufacturer's return procedure.
• Warranty claims require submission of a technical support form and proof of professional installation.

Products damaged due to negligence or improper use, including clogged DPFs, are excluded from warranty coverage.

The DPF is part of the exhaust emission system and is often combined with a catalytic converter in the Opel Vectra's diesel engines. The catalytic converter reduces harmful gases such as CO and NOx, while the DPF traps soot particles.

• The system includes sensors to monitor exhaust gases and DPF condition.
• Regeneration processes burn off accumulated soot to keep the filter functional.
• Proper operation requires compatible parts designed specifically for your engine type and model.

Replacing the DPF may also require replacement of nearby catalytic converters and sensors to maintain emission control efficiency.
