DPF options??
Firstly hello I’m new here
I purchased a 2006 D5 cheap yesterday and would like to get it road worthy with the help of you knowledgeable people please. I tried a forum search but nothing come back for DPF, strangely. I must being doing it wrong, (not the first time) Il be taking the swirl flaps off, cleaning it the EGR before next week. The DPF however… I’m not sure what to do, my wallet won’t let me spend £100s unfortunately, but if I can get a good price for my current dpf then it would help the pocket. But… Has it been known to drill out these dpf’s without Issues? Any recommendations would be ace please Thanks for your time |

I've occasionally had trouble using 'search' on my mobile. If you try Googling 'DPF regeneration Volvo forum' you'll get several hits, though whether they offer opinions on drilling out I don't know.
From what I've read, the car does a pretty good job of regeneration automatically, so maybe get the current status of the DPF read first - unless you already know it's constipated? I'd very wary of drilling holes or otherwise interfering with it. Plenty of places offer DPF cleaning these days, but maybe find out if you have a problem first?

start by getting the codes read this might point you to the cause of your dpf problems they are a complex system where multiple components work together to regen the particulate filter . some possible causes are pressure sensor or any of the pipes linking the sensor egr problem ,glow plugs,. temp sensor. second hand blocked dpf will have little or no value .there are companys that will come round and diagnose dpf problems if your not to good with test equipment and tools. good luck with your new car
