How to Install the LED Indicator for DPF Regeneration on the Peugeot 3008

Model: Peugeot 3008 MK 2, P84 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

To know when your Peugeot 3008 (and also the C5) is undergoing DPF regeneration, you can connect an LED to the external rearview mirror with a small soldering job at the output of the mirror heater. By connecting it to this component, which is on the same line as the DPF, when regeneration is taking place, the LED will light up, indicating that you should not stop, otherwise, you will interrupt the process and damage the system. This will help keep the filter clean and avoid circulation problems.
