C4 Cactus 1.6 Bluehdi 2016 / DPF P2452 Error

Unread post by Garyb83 »

Good morning,
I'm praying someone can help me.
I have had an error code pop up over the past week, for a dpf fault, error code P2452 to be exact. I am trying the cheapest options first, i.e Dpf cleaner/unblocked, but I have a feeling the dpf sensor needs replacing. I found a fairly cheap one online, but multiple attempts to locate it in the engine bay have failed. Would anyone happen to know where I can find it and if possible have a picture of the location, please? Thank you so much for your time.

Welcome to the forum.

What do you mean by DPF sensor? The pressure differential sensor across the DPF? Or something else?

C4 Picasso, but the layout is probably similar, you need to get some live data, and check which code is actually present:
