https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...=303836&page=3 4-cyl Volvo VEA engines, however, get rid of dpf soot much sooner even at moderate higway speeds (with so-called passive regeneration). Last edited by piotrek; Nov 26th, 2020 at 10:28. |

I have since my early cars used Red-Ex on a regular basis but the last 12 months switched to a “Cetane Booster” at every fill, at a rate of 1ml - 1 litre (12 months motoring = approx 500ml). It may help, I’m hoping it does. |

“DPF Soot Levels Level 1: Engine control module (ECM) starts combustion of soot particles in the particle filter during highway driving. Level 2: Engine control module (ECM) starts combustion of soot particles in the particle filter during normal driving. Level 3: A text message, Soot filter full, is sent to the Driver information module (DIM), and the control module sets a DTC. Level 4: Engine control module (ECM) can no longer start combustion of soot particles of its own initiative. A further text message, Engine system service required, is sent to the Driver information module (DIM), and another fault code is sent. Level 5: More than 100 g soot . Combustion of soot particles cannot be started using the diagnostic tool. Engine---Particle Filter----Level 1----Level 2----Level 3----Level 4----Level 5 2.0---------ccDPF--------------NA-----------27g----------32g----------36g----------100g” End quote I can only read limited information on my Elm327 with Car Scanner on an iPhone. Soot levels are shown in %. Does anyone know how to convert the grams for my D4 engine to %? Are the grams roughly equivalent to the % figure I can read? I do probably too much urban mileage to be good for my DPF but have woken up to the problems thanks to this forum. I’ve already had to have one oil change under warranty due to overfilling. So far I’ve never seen regeneration take place at less than motorway speeds although this could be the circumstance of urban driving. All roads near me seem congested. On the motorway regens usually complete (from 100% to 0%) in about 10 minutes so it seems pretty efficient when it does commence.

The mirror (and back glass) heaters draw significant current, which makes the alternator work more, which increases the load on the engine, which then runs hotter. Plus all of that doesn't have an impact on people in the car (because turning the AC to max would also increase load on the engine, but that would create chaos in the cabin I guess).
People in the Peugeot community used this fact to make a signalling light for regen process: remove the side mirror glass from driver's side, solder in a simple little LED across to light up when the heater is on. Position the LED on the bottom of the side mirror housing, so that when you put the mirror back the LED is below and behind it, invisible, and only when it's on can you see it in the slit between the mirror housing and the mirror glass itself. Sure, it would light up when the mirror heater is on, but that requires you to engage it so you would know why it's on. 2nd good position was to wire the LED in the loom of back window heater and place it on the very back of the roof liner on rear passenger side. When it lighs up, you can see it in your rear-view mirror, otherwise it's so small it's practically unvisible.
