Venue diesel particulate filter issue
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Hyundai Venue diesel with 22,731 km is experiencing reduced engine power and smoke during acceleration, suspected to be due to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) issue. The symptoms include decreased fuel economy and an engine warning light. A similar issue in another diesel vehicle was resolved by addressing a defective DPF, suggesting that a thorough diagnostic evaluation by a qualified technician is necessary. The problem was confirmed to be the DPF, which required replacement.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. The fuel economy seems a bit worse, yeah. And there's definitely an engine light on the dash. What was the problem with your Peugeot exactly?

Affirmative. The symptoms you delineate are strikingly reminiscent of a defective diesel particulate filter. In my particular instance, the backpressure within the exhaust system had increased substantially, thereby precipitating a reduction in engine output and the emission of visible smoke. I would advocate seeking guidance from a qualified automotive technician at your earliest convenience to conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Cheers. I appreciate the advice. Turns out it was the DPF, just like we thought. Had to get it replaced; cost me 1550€! Ouch.

Greetings. I experienced a remarkably similar predicament with my 2017 Peugeot 308, also diesel-powered. May I inquire as to whether you have observed any alteration in fuel economy? Also, has the engine management system illuminated any warning indicators on the instrument panel?
