Are you experiencing issues with your Peugeot Partner van, dated from 2018 onwards, specifically concerning the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)? As a UK-based master technician with over 15 years of experience, I'm here to guide you through the nuances of such DPF faults, which can affect your vehicle's performance and compliance with environmental standards.
The DPF system in your Peugeot Partner plays a crucial role in reducing emissions by capturing and storing exhaust soot. However, this system can face issues, primarily due to clogging. Common causes include frequent short trips, where the engine doesn’t run long enough to achieve the necessary temperature to burn off the soot, and using incorrect fuel or engine oil that is not in alignment with manufacturer specifications.
Several signs might alert you to a potential DPF fault in your Peugeot Partner. A significant decrease in engine performance, an increase in fuel consumption, a persistent warning light on the dashboard, and sometimes even an unpleasant burning smell can be indicators. In some cases, failing to address a DPF warning can lead to your vehicle entering a 'limp mode' to prevent further engine damage.
Rectifying a DPF fault typically involves a professional diagnostic check, which I perform regularly. Depending on the diagnosis, the repair process may range from a forced regeneration, where the DPF is thermally cleaned by burning off the excess soot at a high temperature, to a complete replacement, which is considerably more costly. The entire process isn't just time-consuming but can also recur if the underlying driving habits or maintenance issues aren't addressed.
Given the complexity and potential recurring costs associated with resolving a DPF fault, have you considered whether it might be more economical to simply sell your vehicle? Selling your Peugeot Partner to Vandervan removes the immediate hassle and financial burden of repair. Our service at Vandervan offers a 30-second online quote, with the provision for next day collection across the UK, and an instant payment option to the account of your choosing.
Thinking about upgrading instead of getting caught up in repair cycles? This decision will not only ensure that you are back on the road in no time but also avoids potential future mechanical issues.

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.
