The dpf temp is pretty good managed , the best option tho is an extra fuelinjector in the catalyst . but thats a money issue.

Its no coincedence that the countries with high biodieselcontent (7% or more) have these risingoilevel issues and the countries that run on 2% or less have pretty non existent rising oillevels
The UK has had 7% bio content for many years. Volvo fixed the issue years ago. If you look at the date of the thread start it was 2010.
