You can intercept it before it goes into a regen, next time you get to 80% try my method and monitor it, 50 mph or lower, low gear, motorway, inside lane, late at night is best and hold it to 2500-3000 rpm for ten mins and report back if the soot level dropped, I've no real way of confirming my method works but I never blocked my Insignia one in 9 years of ownership, my mate however blocked his on a brand new one after 3 weeks. |

I've not had mine long and nearly returned it for a couple of reasons one being I was out on the motorway and when I got home the bonnet and wings were really hot, the car took hours to cool right down, so I monitored it the next day and every thing went back to normal and the wings etc remained relatively cool, I'm almost certain it did a regen the day before but in other cars the regen is always noticeable due to the car getting lumpy and the idle rev's increasing by 200 rpm, I didn't feel or hear the car doing that but the constant 70 mph might have masked that, as she's not got hot since I really do think it did a regen so I'll have to watch for it in future as parking on the wrong surface can result in a fire due to the amount of heat the dpf kicks out, If you should get to do another test let me know if the low gear higher rev method does make any difference to the soot levels now you're aware of the method I use which by the look of things just got it's P45. |

Hi SnineT,
In reply to your last post, another parameter that I'm able to monitor is "DPF regen" which only has 3 values either 0=off, 1=passive, 2=active. I have sometimes seen this showing 1 or 2 at soot levels of less than 100% however the soot level never appears to drop at the time and the value returns to 0 quite quickly. To initiate a regen the DPF regen value is on '2' for about 3 minutes (obviously the heating up period), before the soot level starts to drop from 100%. The 'passive' setting is supposed to cause the ongoing regen that you are describing that you achieve in your car.

When you hit 80% simply try to clean it by the higher revs method and see if the can does actually burn off without any computer or fuel assistance, it might be programmed to avoid that method but it would be nice to know and save me a lot of placebo if it will only re-gen under instruction from the ECU. Cheers. |

Mines a 2018 S90 D4 with adblue which I now think is the reason my method may not be able to be performed anymore.
Just noticed, yours is a petrol car? that will be a gpf rather than a dpf and although similar in function they differ quite a lot in how they actually function, I don't think the gpf gets the same hammering a dpf does and it's a different kinda soot assuming yours is petrol, I didn't think there are any UK MY2020 S/V 60's that are diesel, or is yours the older model before the latest version?

Hi SnineT, I’m the same engine as you, car details in my ‘signature’. 4 wheel drive as it’s Cross Country so heavier than the standard V60

V60 2019 D4 Manual here.
The only way I can tell when it's doing it's regen is that the average MPG drops noticably. There should be a dipstick, temperature gauge and a light showing that the regen is happening. They can always hide the latter two behind their never ending touch screen menus if they so wish if they offend the "average buyer" so much now. |
