P2002 means your diesel particulate filter is clogged with soot beyond the acceptable level and cannot clean itself through normal regeneration. The DPF traps harmful soot particles from diesel exhaust, but when it becomes overloaded, engine performance drops and backpressure builds to dangerous levels.

P2002 est un code defaut lie a emissions, classe en gravite high. Lorsque le calculateur de ton vehicule detecte cette condition, il enregistre P2002 et allume le voyant moteur.
Si ton vehicule a declenche P2002, tu peux remarquer un ou plusieurs de ces symptomes :
Voici les causes les plus courantes de P2002, classees selon la probabilite qu'elles soient en cause :
Non, regle ca immediatement. A blocked DPF can cause excessive exhaust backpressure that damages the turbocharger and engine. Continued driving without a successful regeneration may lead to a forced engine derate or complete DPF failure requiring expensive replacement.

2005-2024
The Golf TDI (1.6 and 2.0 diesel) is the most commonly affected model in the EU. The EA189 and EA288 engines are prone to DPF blockage when used primarily for city driving. VW's DPF regeneration requires specific conditions: engine warm, speed above 60 km/h, and sufficient fuel. The 1.6 TDI (CAYC engine) is particularly problematic as its lower exhaust temperatures make passive regeneration more difficult than the 2.0 TDI.
2005-2024
The E90/F30/G20 320d and 330d are widespread diesel models in Europe that commonly trigger P2002. BMW uses an additive-free DPF system, meaning the filter relies entirely on exhaust temperature for regeneration. The N47 engine (2007-2014) is particularly prone to DPF issues due to its timing chain problems, which can cause rough running and increased soot production.

2007-2024
Peugeot 308 diesel models use an additive-based DPF system (Eolys/Infineum) that injects a cerium-based additive into the fuel to lower the soot combustion temperature. This system requires periodic additive refills (every 120,000 km or when the additive tank light appears). Running out of additive prevents regeneration entirely. The additive tank is located under the car near the fuel tank.

The Octavia TDI shares its DPF system with the VW Golf TDI. The 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI engines are affected. The DPF on the 1.6 TDI is positioned further from the engine than on the 2.0 TDI, meaning it takes longer to reach regeneration temperature. Skoda recommends a 30-minute motorway drive every 300-500 km to maintain DPF health.

Ces codes apparaissent souvent avec P2002 ou indiquent des problemes connexes :
P2002 means your diesel particulate filter (DPF) is clogged with soot and is not filtering efficiently. The DPF captures harmful soot from diesel exhaust and periodically burns it off through a process called regeneration. When this process fails repeatedly, soot accumulates beyond the threshold and this code is set.
Sometimes. A sustained motorway drive at 2500-3000 RPM for 20-30 minutes can trigger passive regeneration and burn off soot. However, if the DPF is severely blocked (above 80% soot load), a forced regeneration with a diagnostic tool is usually needed instead.
A new OEM DPF costs 800-3000 EUR depending on the vehicle, plus 200-600 EUR for fitting. Professional DPF cleaning (150-480 EUR) is a much cheaper alternative and can restore the filter if it is not physically damaged or ash-saturated.
The most common reason is driving habits. Short trips, city-only driving, and low engine loads prevent the exhaust from reaching the 500-600 degree Celsius temperature needed for regeneration. Other causes include faulty sensors, EGR problems, worn injectors, or using the wrong engine oil.
No. DPF removal or deletion is illegal in all EU countries. Vehicles with removed DPFs will fail emissions testing (MOT/TUV/ITV/CT) and can result in significant fines. The vehicle may also be refused insurance cover.
A new diesel particulate filter runs 700 to 1,500 euros aftermarket and 1,000 to 3,000 OEM, but a P2002 code is sometimes a 60 to 250 euro sensor instead.
DPF regeneration is your diesel burning soot out of its filter at over 600C. Here are the three types, the signs it is happening, and whether you can keep driving.
A removed diesel particulate filter is illegal across the EU and costs EUR 1,500 to 3,500 to refit. Six checks (three visual, three OBD2) catch it before you pay.
A 15-minute pre-purchase OBD2 scan tells you most of what the seller of an imported German used car would rather you didn't ask. Here is the exact checklist.
