SpaceTourer DPF issue

I'm worried about my 2020 Citroen SpaceTourer diesel. It's got 101137 km on the clock and lately I've noticed a significant reduction in engine power, and it's emitting smoke when accelerating. I suspect it's the diesel particulate filter. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

A 2020 Citroen SpaceTourer diesel with 101,137 km is experiencing reduced engine power and smoke during acceleration, suspected to be due to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) issue. Similar symptoms in another vehicle were resolved by replacing the DPF after cleaning proved ineffective. It is advised to seek professional diagnosis to confirm the problem and prevent further damage, with potential repair costs being significant.

I had similar symptoms with my SpaceTourer, could be a DPF issue. Have you tried DPF cleaning or checking for any sensor faults in the exhaust system? Also, when was the last time you performed a regeneration?

Thanks for your response! How did you resolve your issue? And what kind of sensor faults should I be looking for specifically? Is filter replacement necessary, or can cleaning solve the problem?

In my case, the issue was indeed the DPF, and unfortunately cleaning didn't fully resolve it. I ended up needing a filter replacement. Based on the symptoms, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to get a proper diagnosis and avoid further damage to the exhaust system.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I took your advice and went to a workshop; they confirmed that my DPF was defective and quoted me 1550€ for the repair. Appreciate your help!
