Hi all,

I've bought a 2010 v50 1.6 about 4 months ago, and have noticed occasionally whilst cruising probably between 1000-1750rpm, the car will noticably slow down for about 1 second? it doesn't sound like a misfire as the engine seems to sound normal throughout this, only seems to happen once every few days so doesn't really affect driving. Have been getting an 'Engine System Service Required' message the past few weeks also, which makes me fear a potential DPF issue. It's a bit of an old bus with 156k on the clock as of this morning so the idea of a DPF replacement does seem very real, however I am fairly sure it has already had a replacement at some point in its life.

Having plugged in my OBD2 reader I did get an error against the glow plug/glow plug relay (P03080), which might explain a misfire.

Will be servicing it in the coming weeks, inc. a fresh fuel filter to rule out a blockage there, and testing glow plugs in case any one of those might be a dud, so I'll leave this open ended till I've explored every avenue just wondering if anyone has had similar issues?

cheers in advance
