Would it actually help boost my MPG once done?
I read somewhere (probably another dpf post on here) that d2s 3s 4s and 5s (ie actual volvo lumps) aren't so prone to dpf issues as they dont use additive with the dpf but id reccomend doing the third gear run anyway just to experiment. I dont have a trip computer but worked out from fuel recent and logging miles that i got 42mpg s yours being a later engine seems ok i guess. Life's too short to worry about mpg too much (says the diesel driver) 😀
