Volkswagen Eos Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2006-2015)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in Volkswagen Eos diesel models, especially equipped with the 2.0 TDI 140 HP engine (code CFFB), is an anti-pollution component designed to capture soot particles from exhaust gases. It complies with Euro 5 standards and helps reduce automotive emissions.

The DPF mainly applies to Volkswagen Eos 2.0 TDI 16V, 140 HP (103 kW), engine code CFFB, produced from 2010/11 for the 1F series (EOS 1F7/1F8). Original equipment (OE) numbers include 1K0254704X and JZW254700EX. The filter meets Euro 5 emission standards and is marked with E-mark certification.

• Engine Power: 140 HP / 103 kW
• Euro Standard: 5
• Warranty: 24 months (legal)
• Delivery: Includes mounting kit (if specified), PDF instructions, and homologation certificate

Always verify Euro norm and engine code before purchase and consult a Volkswagen garage for precise OBD diagnostics.

Common symptoms indicating DPF clogging include:

• Warning lights on the dashboard for engine, DPF, or antipollution system
• Loss of engine power due to restricted exhaust gas flow
• Increased clogging when mostly driving in urban traffic or traffic jams
• Automatic regeneration attempts occur between 40-50 g of soot; above 50 g the filter may be blocked requiring forced regeneration or replacement

It is important to address these symptoms promptly to prevent costly repairs and vehicle breakdowns.

The DPF regenerates either passively by raising exhaust gas temperatures to burn off soot or actively through controlled processes initiated by the vehicle’s management system. When soot load hits around 50 g, forced regeneration using diagnostic tools is required. If unsuccessful, replacement is necessary.

• Preventive advice: Drive on highways for 20-30 minutes at 3000-3500 rpm in 4th gear to help regeneration.
• Use recommended additives like Eco-10000 annually and C99 at every refuel to reduce soot build-up and injection clogging.

Chemical cleaning involves spraying a specific aerosol cleaner (400 ml) into the DPF, letting it act while idling, and then driving to expel dissolved soot and residue. It is essential to avoid leaving product residues to prevent damage or contamination of sensors.

• Cleaning requires monitoring regeneration status via diagnostic tools.
• Direct engine decarbonization services may also reset the DPF warning light.
• When cleaning is ineffective, expensive authorized replacements of new, homologated DPFs are available.

Always entrust repairs or replacements to qualified garages to ensure correct assembly and sensor calibration.

If your DPF warning light is on, take these steps:

• Avoid short urban trips which worsen soot accumulation.
• Drive at sustained speed on a highway for at least 20-30 minutes, keeping engine rpm around 3000-3500 in 4th gear to promote regeneration.
• If the light persists, visit a professional garage for OBD diagnostics and possible forced regeneration or sensor replacement.

Ignoring the warning can lead to filter blockage exceeding 50 g of soot, making the vehicle unusable without replacement intervention.

To select the correct DPF model for your vehicle, always:

• Check the engine code (e.g., CFFB for 2.0 TDI 140 HP Euro 5)
• Confirm the vehicle's production year and Euro norm compliance
• Use your VIN code to verify compatibility with part references
• Consult professional garage diagnostics when possible for exact sensor positioning and coding

Proper selection ensures optimal performance, mounting fit, and adherence to emission regulations.
