Hyundai Santa Fe Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 2 (Ii) (2005-2012)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF or FAP) in the Hyundai Santa Fe II 2.2 CRDi (engine code D4EB, 155 hp, Euro 4) is a critical component designed to capture fine particulate matter from exhaust gases. Positioned in the exhaust system after the catalytic converter, it helps reduce emissions by filtering soot and other particles.

This DPF is compatible with Hyundai Santa Fe II (CM) models equipped with the 2.2 CRDi engine from the years 2007/08 to 2009/09. Some aftermarket versions also support models from 2006 onwards. Please verify your vehicle's VIN and engine code for exact compatibility before purchase.

The DPF features a ceramic honeycomb substrate made of cordierite, similar to the original factory part, encased in a stainless steel shell (grades 409L or 304). It meets Euro 4 emission standards with E-mark homologation, ensuring legal compliance across Europe.
