Default Burning oil and DPF filter clogging.

I have 2008 V70 D5 90,000 miles. Approximately 8 months ago. Noted increase in fuel and oil consumption. DPF regen light started to come on. Took it to garage and they replaced swirl flaps. Since then DPF light came on saying Soot filt full and limp home mode. Garage forced regen and replaced a sensor on DPF. Since then oil consumption has increased and I have now noticed engine is burning oil. Can only see blue smoke in large bursts normally when accelerating having slowed down for a hazard then accelerating away. Soot filter light only comes on after long journeys usually followed by limp home mode but often resets itself once car has been stood overnight. Garage now unsure if its an engine fault or turbo fault. Has anybody had any similar experiences or can help. Everbody says these faults are uncommon with this engine.
