Ok, so the saga continues.
I changed the oil this morning, new filter, etc, so that the dpf doesn't just soot up again if it clears.
Tried to put it into regen mode using my mates snap-on diagnostic tool (which has the Volvo engine maintenance settings). It tried to start the regen but aborted with the following error message:
'conditions not correct or sequence error (0x22)'
The engine was at operating temperature and there was half a tank of diesel. I cleared the codes and tried it several times but no joy. I also tried going for a blast in 4th gear for 10 miles to try and burn at least some carbon off but that didn't seem to help.
So still in limp mode with the engine management light on. Still got the following codes:
2A30 Particulate filter blocked
2A40 particulate filter overloaded
I suspect that the latter one is stopping it from going into regen. A kind of 'get a new dpf you tight get!' type message.
Any ideas how else I can get the dpf hot enough to burn off the soot?
Also, someone said that they knew a few people that reported success using one of those fuel additives, but I can't remember the name.
Anyone know anyone who has had success with this?
I don't have Facebook so can't ask about Vida there and haven't had a post back in the Vida board on this forum. I think my mates snap on tool, should have worked though. So bit sure it would really help.
Cheers
