Does a V50 07 2.0D SE have a dpf or is it only Euro 4 models
Am looking at buying a V50 2.0D SE 07 plate, it has just short of 60k on clock has been a business car, full volvo service history all serviced at the same dealer. Service's no more than 9months apart.
I asked the dealer when does the dpf need replacing and they said not until 90k and i asked what the cost would be, after the service manager had reaserched this they said that the V50 07 did not have a dpf on. I thought all volvo diesels had a dpf on? or is this just the Euro 4 models? As my S40 2.0D SE 55 plate is a Euro 4. They said that is a dpf did need replacing it would cost £500 |

I believe the newer ones have a DPF like the bigger volvos ie a better quality one that doersnt need changing ..
Have a look at the "silencer" under the car in line with your feet , if it has two small pipes going up to the engine bay it is a Particle filter .. if the 8th digit of the VIN is 5 it should have a particle filter too .

I asked a similar question of Volvo Customer Services re my V50 2.0d new July 09 and got the following reply. I think on the cars that require a new DPF the change is at 75000m not as you stated. Hope the following gives required infor
Cheers. Dear Mr PXXXX, Thank you for your email and I apologise for the delay in responding to you. I can confirm that your vehicle does not have a particulate filter. This information is gleaned from the chassis number YV1MW7541A25*****. 75 is the engine variant and the following 4 shows that it is Euro 4 emissions which do not have the filter. I hope this is the information you require, thank you for your contact with this office.

Which have the DPF then? Based on the above post, mine is also Euro 4 - 2008 S40 2.0D. I thought it would be DPF when i bought it - would be happy if it wasn't though!!

Hi guys, sorry to bring up an older thread! I was looking at buying a 2008 S40. The 8th character is indeed 4. I'm hoping this means it DOESN'T have a DPF. Could anyone confirm that this is the case? Thanks in advance!

Definitive answer for my car, a 2009/59 V50 2.0D Powershift.
The DVLA registration document shows it as an E4 and I can confirm it does have a DPF. Mine has done over 92,000 miles now and apart from the odd 'soot filter blocked' warning it has been fine. A quick dose of the 'Italian tune up', that is to say a quick blast up the motorway always clears it, not seen it for nearly two years now.

Removal of DPF and ECU change
Hi All,
Newbie here so go gently! I am just buying a 20008 '57 plate V50 with the 8th digit of the VIN as a 4. It looks as though I may be lucky and have no DPF. But, i have read all the comments with interest and know from experience with other cars how expensive this can be. I did a search to try and find a picture of a backaxle beam with a DPF on it but to no avail. Interseyingly, I did find this instead. http://www.motormods.co.uk/dpf.html This company will remove the DPF, modify the pipework and change the ECU settings. I haven't spoken to them, but it may be the a possible answer to the expense of having a DPF changed. May be worth investigation by members faced with this potential problem. |
