New here, thanks for having me. I'm a novice Volvo owner, having bought my first, a 2008 XC70 D5 less than 3 years ago. This morning, on my drive to work, the dreaded Soot Filter Full see manual warning came up. I kept driving, and the message stayed there for about 10 minutes. Just before my journey ended (my commute is about 20 minutes) the warning disappeared, and it hasn't come back. My question is, should I go for good highway run at 100kph for half an hour to give the DPF a cleanout? My normal work commute involves a short run home along a highway at 100kph (in case you guys in the UK don't know, we in Australia have been fully metric for nearly 50 years, unlike your half hearted effort lol) but only for about 5-10 minutes. The car wasn't used for 3 days over Easter (we can't go anywhere or visit anyone during this pandemic) but yesterday I went for a long drive around our beautiful Swan River, but never going over 70kph. My car has done 128,000 kilometers.
