Nissan X-Trail Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an essential component of Nissan X-Trail diesel engines, designed to capture and eliminate fine particles such as soot and ash from exhaust gases. It helps the vehicle comply with Euro 4 or 5 emission standards and is typically installed in the exhaust system after the catalytic converter. The DPF requires periodic regeneration, a high-temperature self-cleaning process, to prevent clogging and maintain performance.

Common Nissan X-Trail models with DPF include:

• T32 1.6 dCi (130 HP, R9M engine) compliant with Euro 5 and equipped with OBD systems.
• T31 2.0 dCi (150 HP, M9R engine), produced between 2007 and 2010, compliant with Euro 4.

Other variants like the T30 mostly concern cabin filters, not DPF. Some newer petrol models may have Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPF) that filter carbon from exhaust gases.

Signs of a defective DPF, specifically for the T32 1.6 dCi model, include:

• Increased fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• Illumination of the Check Engine light
• Excessive soot and ash buildup (up to 60 g ash)

If these symptoms occur, it is advisable to consult a garage or technician to check the DPF condition and perform necessary maintenance.

DPF maintenance includes regular regeneration to burn off accumulated soot. Options include:

• Manual regeneration by driving at 60-80 km/h for 25-30 minutes to reach the required temperature
• Using specialized diagnostic tools like VCDS for forced regeneration
• Using aerosol additives designed to help catalytic regeneration

Replacement interval is generally recommended between 140,000 and 190,000 km to avoid failures. Always consider Nissan’s maintenance booklet for detailed guidelines.

New DPF replacements are available in standard and premium quality. They are certified to meet ECE-ONU R103 standards, ensuring compliance without legal issues. Replacements come with a 24-month warranty and fast shipping options in Europe. Always replace your DPF with components matching original specifications as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

While electronic or mechanical DPF removal (via engine remapping or physical bypass) options exist, they are not recommended for legality and environmental compliance. Removing or disabling the DPF can lead to non-compliance with emissions regulations, potential fines, and damage to the environment.

• Maintaining the DPF ensures vehicle safety, respects emissions rules, and preserves your rights.

Please contact certified garages for proper servicing instead of considering DPF removal.

You can verify compatibility by providing your vehicle's VIN or model details when ordering parts. Installation manuals and technical support are typically available through official suppliers or authorized garages. Professional technical support by email is recommended for accurate guidance on parts installation and sensor positioning.

• Always ensure correct assembly by specialized garages following OEM instructions.
