ECM-pressure sensor particulate filter

(Differential pressure more than 100 hPA replacement required)

I’m guessing here that the dpf is the culprit here and Volvo are saying that it needs to be replaced , the question I’ve got to ask is , is the dpf toast and is it really a replacement or is there a possibility of a clean and replace and if so, any recommendations down around London and the surrounding areas of a Indy for the work please ?
Might be worth checking the Sensor for the DPF and the 2 pipes going to it first,
I think the readings can be checked "Live" using Vida / Dice to check they are altering with revs. Also will check for correct reading with engine shut down.
The pipes can become blocked/broken to give false readings as well as the sensor being defective.
Shame to change the DPF and still have a sensor/pipe problem.

Cheaper than a DPF to rule this out first.

Picked up my DPF from here

Took about 40 mins to fit myself.
Been fitted for 4 years with no issues.
