I spoke with my friendly neighbourhood mechanic this afternoon - he'd awarded himself a two week christmas break - his immediate comment when I described the symptoms was faulty sensor. The car is booked in with him for next monday, if he's right a replacement sensor should be a lot less than a new DPF. Thanks to all for your input.

when you have a new speedo the current mileage is automatically taken from another module in the car where it is also stored and loaded into the new one .

Needless to say that the regen process CREATES additional heat by overfuelling, therefore making the Italian tune-up unnecessary. This however I believe creates too much regular additional heat in the cylinder head leading to oil break down (particularly if you use inferior/wrong spec oil) in valve lifters which then fail - then you start burning oil, and that gooses your dpf. |

So are you saying change the oil after a forced regen or normal regen damages the oil?
I can see a case for both but would expect correctly specified oil changed at or before set intervals which are 1 year OR 18,000 miles to be able to survive the regens that occurs aprox every 500 miles if my reading of the handbook is correct. My understanding is that 8% of diesel is injected on the exhaust stroke to burn in the dpf normally to keep it clean and this figure raises to 30% during regen cycle. I may of course be wrong and stand to be corrected, niether do I like the idea of sump oil being diluted with diesel but as my car regularly does a 200 mile round trip 100 of which are motorway or duel carriageway and only does 10,000 a year I am hopeful that no lasting damage is being done to the specified oil and therefore the engine.

I suspect the dealers don't see much of these higher mileage cars and therefore there is very little definitive information on why/how these issues occur. It's entirely possible of course that I'm talking out of my hat, but if my 163 D3 starts making a whoomping noise near the airbox or I get the soot filter full message more than once I'll be selling promptly, even though it has a full Volvo service history from new in 2010 and has only done 103k. I hope the OP comes back and posts whether or not a new sensor fixes the problem! Last edited by tommyweaves; Jan 4th, 2017 at 20:30. |
