Nissan Qashqai Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A diesel particulate filter (DPF)—sometimes called a soot particulate filter—traps fine particles in the exhaust gas produced by diesel engines. It's standard on Qashqai diesel models and ensures your vehicle complies with strict Euro emissions regulations. Over time, the filter fills with soot and must be cleaned, regenerated, or replaced.

Signs that your DPF is blocked include:

A warning light or DPF fault message on the dashboard

Noticeable loss of engine power

Poor fuel economy

Black smoke from the exhaust pipe

Diagnostic errors like code P2002 from a failing pressure sensor

Neglecting these signs can lead to damage in your catalyst, gaskets, and surrounding mounting components.

Only if you're heading straight to perform a regeneration or cleaning cycle. Continuing to drive with a blocked particulate filter increases risk to the engine, exhaust system, and even your fuel system. Keep the distance short and get it sorted quickly.

Yes, here are some DIY cleaning steps:

Take the car on a long highway drive at over 3,000 RPM

Use a DPF cleaning additive in the fuel tank

For stubborn soot, remove the part and have it professionally cleaned

Avoid water jets or unapproved chemicals, which can damage the particulate filter material.

The regeneration process is designed to burn off DPF soot:

Passive regeneration happens during long drives

Active regeneration is triggered by the engine ECU injecting extra fuel

Forced regeneration requires specialist equipment in a garage

We also offer a helpful video guide to walk you through each type of regeneration.

Use an OBD2 scanner to detect fault codes like P2458 or P2002. Also inspect:

The pressure sensor

Any cracked or leaking pipes

The mounting kit for worn gaskets or misaligned seals

Proper diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary part replacement.
