V70: Engine O8 D5power loss

[motrhed]

Hi can anyone help please.
I have an08 d5 185. The soot filter full came up yesterday.The manual says it does this when it is 80% full. After agood run the message has gone but
engine system service urgent has come up. The power is down and there is a loud whooshing sound like air escaping every time it is revved. ihave ordered a code reader so i should know more when i get it but in the mean time does anyone recognise the problem?

Hi, 1st off I am not a mechanic. I am a Chauffeur who uses the S80 on a 07 plate who top date has driven 166000 miles.
I have been having a similar problem for the last few months.
"Soot filter full"- followed by the "engine service required"

On top of this I have been using approx 4 LITRES of oil EVERY MONTH.
The other symptom is the "WHUMP WHUMP " that sounds like its coming from under the air box on the nearside front of the engine.And loss of power, ( sometimes it pulls away like an old bus)

Been into Volvo,Slough who charged me over £300 to tell me "Well there's something wrong"- "But were not sure what, and we do not have the time or the facilities to go into it" !!

Looked on Volvo Forum and found somebody with a similar problem & who also had the same problem with Volvo, Slough. They, as I took it into Phil
Whittaker at Farnham Common. ( "His " was diagnosed as a stuck EGR Valve"- the noise under the air box being caused by exhaust gasses), sadly this is not the same case as mine!

Phil Whittaker diagnosed a Mechanic engine problem and said it would be far to expensive to investigate and I should look for a replacement Engine!! Cant find one anyway, but gather it would be around 4 grand + fitting

At present it is in a garage in Slough where at present they have found 2 leaking injectors and have taken both the top and bottom ends off the engine to check the head, valves & Pistons.
I would definitely get a diagnostic done and ask them specifically to check the EGR valve and take it from there.
Hope this helps and it's not so drastic as mine.
Brad

Hi bradley, Thanks for your comments. I put the car in to My local volvo agent. They did a regeneration of the soot filter. but also found a split in the charge air pipe. performance is now back to normal but also strangely fuel consumption
is much better. Before it went wrong the best i could get was 33 mpg now its38.
Best of luck with yours.

Probably Brad's car has the same problem.
Better fuel economy should result as gases flowing easier etc

Sounds like it was running in regen mode all the time. I had the same problem.
