I have a 55'reg V70 D5 and recently had the message 'soot filter full' and it went into limp mode. Managed to do a manual recharge on it after 40 miles foot flat down on the dual carriageway. Wasn't looking forward to a costly replacement.
Can anyone tell me... does my V70 have the DPF that requires additive and is this why it sooted up? I understand short journeys are no good for DPF's but mine has always had quite long runs.
VW seem to have the right idea - when we ordered my wifes Golf we could have deleted the DPF as they said it was not recommended for cars that do short journeys.
