Peugeot 5008 DPF Issue

Experiencing reduced engine power and excessive smoke when accelerating in my 2023 Peugeot 5008 diesel with close to 300000 km. Suspect a defective diesel particulate filter, has anyone else encountered this?

Sounds familiar! I have a 5008 too, and I had similar symptoms. Did the engine light come on? It could also be a sensor fault, but the diesel filter is a prime suspect.

Yes, the engine light is on. I've also attempted a regeneration cycle, but it didn't resolve the issue. Can you share more details about your experience? Was the DPF completely blocked or was there another underlying cause?

In my case, the DPF was indeed defective. It went through several regeneration cycles without success and eventually, performance deteriorated noticeably. A vehicle inspection confirmed the issue, and I had to replace the filter. Best to go to a workshop and have it checked.

Thank you for the information! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I've taken it to a workshop, and they've confirmed the DPF is defective. The repair cost is estimated at 1550€. I'll proceed with the replacement.
