DPF pressure pipes: the thin metal tubes that connect the exhaust, before and after the particulate filter, to the differential pressure sensor that tells the engine computer how full the filter is. A damaged or blocked pipe makes the sensor report false readings, which can be mistaken for a faulty filter, so the manufacturer recommends new pressure pipes with any replacement unit that includes a DPF.

Many vehicles have more than one pipe, so match the position shown on each part (pre-DPF, post-DPF). More than 300 pipes for 36 makes, led by Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall, Mercedes and Volkswagen. See fitting a DPF.
