If you're encountering issues with your Citroen Dispatch, specifically from models between 2007 and 2016, there’s a good chance it might be related to the Diesel Particulate Filter, commonly known as the DPF. As a seasoned mechanic with over a decade and a half in the field, I’ve seen my fair share of these faults, and I’m here to shed some light on this particular issue.
The DPF is an emission control device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. However, several factors can disrupt its normal functioning:
- Short Drives: Not driving long enough for the DPF to reach the required temperature to burn off the soot.
- Low Quality Fuel: Using diesel that isn't up to standard can lead to soot buildup faster than usual.
- Sensor Issues: Faulty sensors can falsely report DPF issues or fail to trigger the regeneration process needed to clean out the soot.
If the DPF in your Citroen Dispatch isn’t working properly, you might notice several indicators, such as:
- Reduced engine performance
- Increased fuel consumption
- The DPF warning light illuminating on the dashboard
- A pungent smell of diesel
- Exhaust emitting visible smoke
Repairing a DPF fault can vary in complexity. It could be as simple as performing a manual regeneration cycle to burn off excess soot, or it might involve checking and replacing faulty sensors. In more severe cases, the entire DPF unit may need replacing, which can be quite costly.
Why might you consider selling your Citroen Dispatch instead of dealing with the DPF issue? Well, let’s weigh the options.
Repairing a DPF fault, especially in older models like the Citroen Dispatch from 2007 to 2016, can sometimes be more trouble than it's worth. The cost of parts and labor can quickly add up, not to mention the time your vehicle will be out of action. This is where Vandervan can step in to provide a smooth, hassle-free solution.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
