C30 Engine Service Code 019 and high Oil
 

Hi
I bought my C30 R-Design 2.0D about 7 months ago and when i'd bought it, it had just had a new belt and waterpump - the car also has FSH.
The issue i have is as follows:
I was driving the car for about 3 months with the engine service warning, but assumed it was just a service indicator which has not been reset when it was serviced and only checked further when it went into 'limp mode' - it drove ok, but seemed flat with no turbo.
I pressed the indicator button and '019' code came up, so took it to my local garage who topped up the dpf fluid. I would have done it myself, but don't have the software to reset the counter. It wasn't cheap either and i now believe it wasn't empty (won't go back to that garage).
However the light didn't go off and i just happened to be looking in the engine bay and noticed my oil level was too high, so drained about a litre out. Now it was on max.
The warning light now comes on and off and goes in and out of limp mode. The engine oil level is also going up.
Can i assume this is a leaking injector??? I can smell Diesel when driving.
Thanks to Covid, i will be unemployed from next week, so can't afford to take it to a garage, so need to fix myself.
Anyone know if this is an injector issue and any specific area to look? . Can i just replace the injectors easily and do other volvo models fit, which i can get from the scrap yard? I'm not a total novice to working on cars, but no a pro

Anyone any help?
 

Anyone able to help?

I would suggest getting the codes read properly, preferably with VIDA.

The rising oil level is often a sign of incomplete active regeneration of the DPF, although I don't know if this applies to your engine.

Hi,I bought Volvo c30 2008 r-design 1 year ago ,it’s my first car ,I know nothing about them ,but already spent on the car 2000+ ,so I have exactly same situation,019 error ,every time when engine oils change after good ride it’s show engine service required ,dpf liquid also done ,oil lvl also goes up after some time what makes that messages of error 🫤 when I read your story ,straight away see it’s exactly same ,I believe that dpf are not regenerating properly what cost about 400£ to fix 🫤🫤🫤

Just to let you know, that 019 error and going into limp mode doesn't have to mean DPF issues. My car did that too and it was due to intermittent fault on the MAP sensor.
