Citroen DS5 diesel particulate filter issue

I'm having some major issues with my 2017 Citroen DS5 diesel! It's only got 24801 km on the clock. Recently, the engine power has been terrible, and it's blowing out smoke like crazy when I try to accelerate. I suspect it's the diesel particulate filter, but I'm no expert. Has anyone else experienced this?

A 2017 Citroen DS5 diesel with 24,801 km is experiencing poor engine power and excessive smoke during acceleration, suspected to be due to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) issue. Short trips around town may prevent proper DPF regeneration, leading to these problems. A similar case required DPF replacement, and a vehicle inspection confirmed the defective DPF, resulting in a costly repair.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had similar symptoms. I also have a DS5 diesel. It could be the DPF. How often do you drive it, and what type of journeys do you usually undertake?

Thanks for the reply! I usually drive it a couple of times a week, mostly short trips around town. Could that be the problem? What was the cause in your case?

Yes, short journeys are not good for DPF regeneration. My issue was a defective DPF requiring replacement. I recommend a vehicle inspection.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right - the diesel particulate filter was defective. The repair cost me 1550€. Appreciate your help!
