Opel Vivaro Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A diesel particulate filter (DPF), also called a soot particulate filter, is essential for your Vivaro's emissions system. It captures solid particles produced during direct injection fuel combustion. Over time, these build up and are cleared via regeneration. The DPF works alongside the catalyst to meet EEC and European emission guidelines.

Regeneration is a process where built-up soot is burned off at high exhaust temperatures. Your Vivaro may trigger active regeneration using the ECU or rely on passive regeneration during extended driving. Delayed cycles may lead to clogging, especially if the engine oil is contaminated or if eoly fluid is low.

Frequent issues include:

Blocked filters due to short trips or low-quality fuel

Failing pressure sensors or EGR valves

Malfunctioning injectors, causing regeneration failure

These issues often require a proper diagnostic and sometimes a complete investigation by your garage.

Yes. Some problems can be solved with a regeneration run or chemical cleaning. Others may require more advanced repair techniques. Our expert guide and video tutorials help you determine the best course of action—whether you need a mounting kit, a sensor check, or a full replacement.

Run a full diagnostic with an OBD scanner. If the error shows incomplete regeneration, try a 30-minute highway drive. If the alert persists, check related components such as the valve system, gasket seals, and airflow pathways. A worn sensor or oil contamination might be the real culprit.

Right here at Krosfou.com. Our site lets you search by engine code, body type, or technical criteria. We list each item clearly, with compatibility for Opel Vivaro, Renault Trafic, and other equivalents. Each product page includes mounting specs, hanger layout, and relevant fitting accessories.

The cost depends on your Vivaro's model year, whether you're replacing the entire unit or just specific parts like the converter or gaskets. Krosfou's prices are typically 40–60% lower than dealer quotes, especially for aftermarket solutions. Each listing includes a complete list of what's included: clamps, brackets, or optional accessories.

When choosing a DPF, review:

Engine type (1.6 CDTI, 2.0, or 2.5)

Body spec (L1H1, L2H2, etc.)

Mounting kit requirements (e.g. clamp size, gasket placement)

Sensor and pipe positioning

Our database includes comprehensive technical data so you can make the correct selection every time.

Start with a deep diagnostic. Investigate the EGR valve, air intake, injector system, and whether your DPF has reached its maximum load.
