If you own a Peugeot Partner from the years 2008 to 2018, you might be familiar with issues related to the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This essential component is designed to capture and store exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel engines.
When there's a fault with the DPF, several signs can alert you: - A visible increase in exhaust smoke, typically white - The DPF warning light on your dashboard illuminates - A reduction in engine performance - Increased fuel consumption
Sometimes, the symptoms could be less obvious, leading to diagnostic challenges.
The DPF in your Peugeot Partner can become problematic due to several reasons:
- Frequent short journeys at low speeds prevent the DPF from reaching the temperature required for self-cleaning. - Poor maintenance, including overdue oil changes, can increase soot production, clogging the filter. - Using low-quality fuel can also contribute to faster accumulation of soot.
The typical response to a DPF fault includes diagnosing the extent of the blockage or damage, possibly cleaning the filter, or in some cases, full replacement. Cleaning might involve chemical treatment or a process called 'forced regeneration'. If the DPF is beyond repair, replacement can be quite costly, considering the parts and labor involved.
Dealing with a DPF fault can be frustrating and expensive. In such cases, you might find it easier to simply sell your Peugeot Partner and possibly upgrade to a newer model with fewer issues. At Vandervan, we offer a straightforward and quick process to sell your van, providing a fair assessment and an immediate payment.

Deciding whether to repair or sell can be difficult. Why not save yourself the trouble and consider replacing your vehicle with a more reliable option? Reflect on how significant the DPF issue is, and ask yourself: Is the cost of repair worth it, or would I be better off with a hassle-free sale and an updated vehicle?

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.
