If you're driving a Renault Kangoo from between 2008 to 2020, you might have encountered issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). These devices are crucial for reducing emissions, but they can sometimes lead to performance problems that are both frustrating and costly to fix. Let’s explore what this fault involves, its symptoms, possible causes, and the repair process.
When your Renault Kangoo has a DPF fault, you'll likely notice several signs. A noticeable reduction in engine performance is typically the first. You may find the vehicle struggles to accelerate, or there might be a general feeling of lackluster power output. Another common symptom includes an increase in fuel consumption - the engine works harder to overcome the inefficiency caused by a blocked DPF, thus using more diesel. Perhaps the most obvious sign is the illumination of the DPF warning light on your dashboard, signaling that something is not right.
The DPF in your Renault Kangoo can experience problems for a number of reasons. Frequent short trips where the engine doesn't reach optimal operating temperature can prevent the DPF from burning off accumulated particulates, leading to blockages. Similarly, using low quality fuel can cause the filter to clog more quickly. Moreover, as the vehicle ages, the DPF naturally degrades and becomes less effective at processing exhaust pollutants.
Addressing a Renault Kangoo DPF fault can vary in complexity. Initially, a diagnostic test is required to confirm the presence of DPF-related errors. If the problem is just starting, a forced regeneration might be recommended, where the DPF is cleaned out through controlled conditions of high temperature to burn off the soot. If the filter is beyond regenerative repair, replacement might be the only option—a procedure that can be quite expensive, considering the cost of the parts and labor involved.
Dealing with a Renault Kangoo (2008 to 2020) DPF fault can be a headache. And sometimes, even after repair, similar issues can reoccur, adding to your frustrations and expenses. Have you considered bypassing this cycle altogether by selling your current van and possibly upgrading to a newer model?

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.
