You definitely need a new DPF BUT you need to find out why the old one became clogged.

The DPF on these engines is no trouble at all provided everything else on the engine is operating correctly.

The point that I am making is that the DPF was not the problem , something else gave the DPF a problem.

If you simply fit a new DPF it will end up just like the old one, clogged and probably with an accompanying " Soot filter full message "

I would start by checking all of the intercooler pipework and the intercooler itself.

A remap will not cure an underlying problem.

If possible, get someone local with Vida ( Volvo diagnostice ) to see what codes it throws up.
