Just caught up with this thread. My 2015 V70 D4 still has the original top hose with T junction and therefore no final EGR fix applied. I've had it since it was a year old and 16k on the clock.

It now has 42k and I'm beginning to wonder if it's a case of when, not if, it will fail.

That said, it's been problem free apart from needing a new exhaust sensor (under warranty) when that sooted up and lit up the emissions light.

I only use premium diesel but with lots of short runs broken up with the odd longer run pulling the caravan.

So I'm either very lucky, or about to be hit with a big bill?

I have noticed how the engine has started to get a bit rougher around 1700rpm since it was about 2 years old, and there is a slight hesitation around those revs when cold.
But fuel economy is fine and power is good...so all is well...touch wood!
