Fiat Talento Diesel Particulate Filter DPF 2 (Ii) (2016-2020)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Fiat Talento 1.6 D is an essential exhaust system component designed to trap fine particulate matter (soot) from diesel exhaust gases. It helps the vehicle comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. The filter is typically made of cordierite or silicon carbide ceramic materials and is integrated into the vehicle’s exhaust system to reduce harmful emissions.

This DPF is compatible with Fiat Talento Van (296) models produced from 2014 onwards, equipped with the 1.6 D diesel engine. It covers power outputs of 115 CV (85 kW, engine code R9M408) and 125 CV (engine code R9M452). It is designed for vehicles with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) systems and compliant with Euro 5 or Euro 6 emissions norms.

The Fiat Talento DPF features the following technical characteristics:

• Material: Cordierite or Silicon Carbide ceramic
• Weight: Approximately 8.1 to 9.1 kg depending on variant
• Length: Around 900 mm with some variations
• Emission compliance: Euro 5 / Euro 6
• OE reference example: 6000619877 for engine R9M408
• Includes mounting hardware compatible with OBD systems

These specifications ensure effective filtration and durability meeting strict emission regulations.

Signs that the DPF may be malfunctioning include:

• Increased diesel fuel consumption
• Loss of engine power
• Illumination of the Check Engine light
• Abnormal differential pressure readings across the filter

Detected pressure differential values above normal at idle or acceleration indicate soot buildup or sensor issues.

Diagnosis requires the engine to be at least 80°C and a proper diagnostic tool. Key steps include:

• Check ignition off pressure differential: should be 0-5 mbar
• Check pressure at warm idle: 0-10 mbar
• During stepwise acceleration (up to 3000 rpm), pressure differential should remain within expected ranges (typically below 70-90 mbar for <2L engines)
• Higher values (160-300 mbar) indicate heavy soot buildup
• Values exceeding 300 mbar suggest need for professional cleaning or replacement

Also monitor engine temperature, rpm, and intake air mass for accurate diagnosis.

DPF cleaning and regeneration can be done via:

• Passive regeneration: Driving continuously at 60-80 km/h for 25-30 minutes (preferably on the highway) to burn off soot at high temperatures
• Forced regeneration: Using a diagnostic tool to initiate active combustion of soot controlled by the ECU
• Chemical additives: DPF cleaning products sprayed into the system or added to fuel, suitable for Euro 6 vehicles

Note that excessive soot or ash may require professional cleaning or DPF replacement.

Replacement is typically recommended between 120,000 and 200,000 km to prevent breakdowns. Considerations include:

• Confirm the exact engine code (R9M452 or R9M408) and Euro norm (5 or 6)
• Use original or OEM-equivalent DPF spare parts certified according to regulations
• Replace associated sensors and mounting parts as required
• Consult a garage for accurate diagnosis and proper installation

Using high-quality original DPF from trusted manufacturers ensures compliance with emission regulations and vehicle performance.

Original diesel particulate filters for Fiat Talento vans are available directly from factory producers offering high-quality parts manufactured in Europe with certified compliance (such as E24-103R). Services typically include:

• 3-year warranty limited to 100,000 km of use
