Exhaust Opel Combo

Exhaust parts for Vauxhall Combo mainly include rear exhaust silencers, exhaust pipes, and pipe connectors. These parts vary according to the Combo generation, engine type (mostly Diesel CDTI), and model years ranging from 2004 to 2025. The system also includes catalytic converters and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs), which are integral to emission control but are managed separately from aftermarket exhaust fitting components.

Exhaust parts compatibility depends on several factors including model generation and engine specs:

• Combo C with 1.3 CDTI 16V engine (69 CV / 51 kW): multiple exhaust pipe lengths from 160 mm to 920 mm are available.
• Combo C with 1.7 CDTI 16V engine (101 CV / 74 kW): exhaust parts suitable for 2004-2011 production years.
• Combo D Tour 1.3 CDTI (80 CV): rear exhaust pipes of approximately 1100 mm length.
• Models from 2018-2025: exhaust plugs with internal diameters around 35 mm.

Always check compatibility with your engine code (e.g., Z13DT, Z17DTH) and production year before ordering.

White or black smoke from the exhaust of a Vauxhall Combo diesel engine is a common concern and may indicate various issues:

• White smoke shortly after starting cold may be normal due to condensation, but persistent white smoke could suggest injector problems.
• Black smoke often relates to excessive fuel, turbo issues, or a malfunctioning EGR valve.
• Smoke can also point to problems with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or incorrect fuel combustion.

It is recommended to have the exhaust system and engine components such as injectors, EGR valve, and turbo checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the underlying problem.

Key considerations when choosing exhaust parts include:

• Correct part size and length to fit your vehicle’s model and engine.
• Compatibility with the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and emission standards, including catalytic converter and DPF requirements.
• Quality and material, with stainless steel being preferred for durability.
• Manufacturer specifications that match your vehicle's VIN or engine code for secure fitment.

Ensure that all gaskets, sensors, and related components are also checked or replaced if needed during installation.

Krosfou offers a 3-year warranty on their diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters, subject to usage not exceeding 100,000 kilometers and proper installation by a qualified workshop. The warranty requires adherence to manufacturer installation instructions and elimination of any defects affecting the part.

To guarantee proper fitment and compatibility:

• Provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or engine code when ordering to confirm part compatibility.
• Refer to official manufacturer specifications and product datasheets.
• If uncertain, consult a professional mechanic or exhaust specialist.
• Use parts that adhere to European emissions and safety standards specifically designed for your Combo model.

Proper fitment not only ensures optimal performance but also helps prevent exhaust leaks and engine issues.

Yes, limited short journeys can negatively impact the DPF’s lifespan because the engine may not reach its optimal operating temperature. This prevents proper soot burn-off during passive regeneration, causing soot accumulation that may block the DPF and damage the exhaust system.

• It is advised to periodically drive your vehicle on longer trips to allow the exhaust and DPF system to regenerate correctly.
• Regular maintenance and system checks can prevent premature failures related to driving habits.

Following manufacturer guidance helps maintain the health and efficiency of your vehicle’s exhaust system.
