Diesel particulate filter
Hey,
I am wondering is v90 MY20 D4 giving any visible information that DPF cleaning process has started? In my previous car Vauxhall i could see it under main consumers. When DPF cleaning was in process there was always rear window heating on and current MPG was dropping by 40%. I have my Volvo only one month and i haven't noticed any direct or indirect information that this process is running. |

I have the S90 with the same engine and have never been aware of any symptoms or indication that one is happening.

Do you have an indication that the stop/start system is available? On my older model the stop/start becomes inactive whenever a regen is in progress.

Well I guess you'll not know then. I get no other indication of an active regen in progress... no burning smell, no noticeable drop in economy, no temperature increase, etc. Once in a blue moon it just does its thing in the background for about 23 minutes.

Have you noticed how many miles are you doing between the regeneration cycles?

I have diagnostic equipment that tells me the soot loading of the DPF. Even during lockdown when the car was only being used for short journeys the highest I saw was 12.5g (against a warning threshold of 26g) so I'm now pretty relaxed about the DPF.

I can usually tell when a Regen is happening on my D5PP because there is a distinct (to me) exhaust burble when slowing down on over run to take a corner or pull up, (at slow speeds) whenever this happens I glance at the stop/start symbol and it will be disabled.
It is a subtle change of note that I can notice being the regular driver and know the usual exhaust note

I will try to observe and maybe will see when is starts.
Is there any possibility to see on dashboard coolant temperature or oil? It strange for me as i always had this gauge in other cars. |
