Hello please help me, knowledgeable people......

I have a 2006 XC90 2.4 D5, 185BHP, Manual

I have the dreaded soot filter full message which comes on as soon as the engine reaches temperature after 3-4 miles or so and goes into limp mode.

So far I have had done the following:

* Tried regen on motorway, driven for 45 mins at high revs, this did clear the message but it came back again the next day
* been into volvo specialist for a dynamic dpf regen, dpf cam back as clear, but soot filter full message and limp mode returned. volvo specialist recommended a volvo main dealer software upgrade.
* Booked into volvo for software upgrade, volvo advised no upgrade is available and advised an oil and filter change as fuel can get into the oil and cause problems.
*Took car back to volvo specialist they did more investiagtions and have found the inlet manifold pipe clogged up with soot, so the next thing is to remove the inlet manifold (3 hrs, £195+ vat) to do more investigations to see what going on. they think worst case scenario in could be a new inlet manifold & flap (s) and possibly a dpf.

Please help any suggestions of help greatly appreciated.

I love the car I just need to get it sorted.
