Citroen DPFs We Source
What a filter really costs here — and what the dealer would have charged you instead.
1.6 HDi DPF (Euro 5)
DV6 · Euro 5 (DPF + cat)
- Cleaned & flow-tested used R3,500–R7,500; aftermarket new R8,000–R12,000
- A life of short city runs is what blocks these; a soot-heavy used filter may have little left to give
- A pro ultrasonic clean (R5,000–R12,000 in SA) often beats a marginal used unit
1.6 HDi DPF (Euro 6)
DV6 Euro 6 · DPF + SCR
- Euro 6 brings SCR and AdBlue into the system — more involved, and dearer, than Euro 5
- An AdBlue dosing fault presents much like a blocked filter — diagnose before you spend
- Newer = scarce used; new-OE pricing dominates
2.0 / 2.2 HDi DPF
DW10 / DW12 · Euro 5/6
- Larger canister — confirm the flange / sensor-boss layout matches
- Blocked differential-pressure pipes throw the same symptoms as a dead filter — check them before condemning it
- Cleaned & flow-tested used R4,500–R8,500; aftermarket new R9,000–R15,000
Commercial DPF (Dispatch / C4 Aircross)
2.2 / 2.2 HDi · large canister
- Heavier-duty unit for the Dispatch / C4 Aircross — larger substrate
- Stop-start fleet work blocks these quickest — a clean plus a forced regeneration is usually the answer
- Cleaned & flow-tested used R5,500–R9,500; aftermarket new up to ~R18,000

Shop Diesel Particulate Filters by Citroen Model
Buying a Citroen DPF in South Africa
If an HDi has dropped into limp mode or lit up a filter warning, the particulate filter is the first place to look — particularly on a car that spends its life in traffic and never gets a proper run at highway speed. The filter needs heat to burn itself clean, and stop-start driving never gives it any. Swapping one is not difficult work. The part that catches people out is what they buy: the replacement has to be genuinely clear, because a second-hand filter that is blocked in its own right fixes nothing, and it has to suit your car's emissions standard and sensor layout.
This is where the money is. A new OEM diesel particulate filter for a 1.6 or 2.0 HDi is commonly quoted between R28,000 and R55,000 fitted at a franchise dealer — independent South African sources put a typical replacement nearer R40,000 to R50,000, and some OEM quotes run past R100,000 on larger diesels. A cleaned, flow-tested used filter from us is a fraction of that — indicatively R3,500 to R9,500 — and a new aftermarket unit sits in between at around R8,000 to R18,000. Even a professional ultrasonic clean of your existing filter, at R5,000 to R12,000 in South Africa, costs a fraction of the dealer route. For a car that is otherwise sound, replacing the DPF is almost never worth doing at OEM prices. Used and cleaned-filter pricing moves with what is available, so we confirm the exact figure on your quote.
The cheapest route is a used filter that has been cleaned and flow-tested; after that, aftermarket Euro-5 replacements come in a long way under OEM money. Get two details right before ordering — whether the car is Euro-5 or Euro-6, and which differential-pressure sensors it runs. Worth remembering too that a blocked filter is usually a symptom rather than the disease, so have the turbocharger looked at in the same visit.
