What it is
This is a remanufactured OEM Volkswagen DPF (diesel particulate filter) system, sold as a complete unit including the downpipe. It is manufactured by Volkswagen, not a third-party aftermarket DPF.
What else you likely need
Replacing the DPF typically also requires a new low-pressure EGR filter — this is a related, commonly co-purchased part, not included in this listing.
Core deposit
A refundable core deposit of $700 is required.
Core return requirements
Fitment
2009–2014 VW Jetta, Jetta Sportwagen, Golf, and Beetle — consistent with the 2.0L CJAA/CBEA common-rail TDI engine range.
Order requirement
VIN is required at checkout to confirm proper fitment before the order is processed.
Common questions
Do I need anything else when replacing the DPF? Typically yes — a new low-pressure EGR filter is usually needed alongside a DPF replacement.
What condition does my old core need to be in for a refund? Good condition, returned in the original box. Contact KermaTDI for an RMA before shipping it back.
Does this fit my car without checking anything first? No — VIN is required at order time so KermaTDI can confirm exact fitment; don't assume fitment from year/model alone.
