Exhaust Peugeot 508

The Peugeot 508 exhaust system mainly includes the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), the rear muffler (exhaust silencer), and the exhaust valve (flap). The DPF is located near the engine within the exhaust line and is designed to burn soot particles at high temperatures to meet environmental standards. The rear muffler can corrode over time, especially on older vehicles exposed to road salt. The exhaust valve regulates sound and performance, and malfunctions can result in a rough noise, especially when cold.

Common issues include:

• DPF clogging or soot build-up caused by short trips or low engine speeds, leading to power loss, black smoke, and warning lights.
• Rust and corrosion on the rear muffler, especially due to exposure to road salt.
• Exhaust odor inside the cabin due to cracks or leaks in pipes or joints.
• Excessive noise caused by a faulty exhaust valve producing a rough sound, often with an error message.
• Injector faults increasing soot production and DPF clogging.

Proper maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and extends the exhaust system's lifespan:

• Perform regular DPF regenerations—passive regeneration happens naturally during long trips at consistent high speeds, while forced regeneration may be done at a garage or during highway driving if passive fails.
• Use additives in the fuel tank to lower soot melting temperature and aid cleaning.
• Inspect for cracks, leaks, and corrosion on pipes and joints; consult a mechanic for any concerns, especially rust or odd noises.
• Consider replacing the rear muffler if it shows severe corrosion; professional services like Fixter provide such replacements.
• Avoid frequent short urban trips that prevent the engine and DPF from reaching proper operating temperatures.

Following these steps ensures efficient performance, compliance with emission regulations, and a quieter ride.

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) regeneration is the process of burning the accumulated soot trapped in the filter to prevent clogging. There are two types:

• Passive Regeneration: Occurs naturally during long-distance or high-speed driving, usually around 20 minutes, when the exhaust temperature is high enough to burn soot.
• Forced Regeneration: Initiated manually by a garage using diagnostic tools or by driving under specific conditions if passive regeneration fails.

Proper DPF regeneration helps maintain engine performance, reduce emissions, and prevent DPF failure.

The Peugeot 508 exhaust system can have exhaust valves that affect sound and performance. Some models might lack sound actuators or sound modules. While adding or upgrading accessories like bypass valves or performance pipes can alter exhaust sound, Krosfou focuses on high-quality, original exhaust parts like DPFs and catalytic converters, ensuring compliance with regulations and vehicle fitment. Any enhancement affecting sound should consider legal emissions and noise limits.

When purchasing exhaust components like pipes, catalytic converters, or mufflers for your Peugeot 508, consider these steps:

• Check the exact model year, engine type, and emission standard of your vehicle.
• Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) for precise fitment confirmation.
• Consult product details and compatibility information on the seller's catalog or website.
• Contact customer support for technical advice to ensure the part matches your vehicle specifications.

Accurate matching guarantees quality performance and avoids installation issues.

Krosfou provides a 3-year warranty on diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters for the Peugeot 508, limited to a use of up to 100,000 kilometers. To maintain warranty coverage:

• Installation must be done by a professional in an authorized garage.
• All installation instructions including replacement of gaskets, sensors, and injectors must be followed.
• Proper vehicle operation and maintenance must be ensured to avoid damage from clogging or misuse.
• Warranty repair is handled at the factory, and detection of faults requires proper documentation and support form submission.

Technical support is available via email for installation guidance and assistance.
