No Diesel Particulate Filter

Interesting.

I am trying to find out about the DPF on my 2.0D V50 2010 model

Perhaps the easiest solution is to find out where the DPF is fitted and have a physical look.

Does this 8th character theory work for s40 2.0 D 2005/2006 model?

The 8th character on my VIN is 4. Does this mean my volvo has no DPF ?

Many thanks

Old thread but I'm still confused , my 2009 v70 2.0d psa engine has a 4 on the 8th number of my vin and does not have a eloys top up plus on hard accelerating it blows soot out , can see it at night with car lights behind , I've no light on my dash but on looking underneath it looks like I have some sort of dpf

I cant load the picture up of what I have underneath my car but I have a cat that's coming down from the engine and then on the straight I've got another unit with 2 steel piped , one at the start and one running to the back also there is a sensor at the end of it , I do have a 4 on the 8th letter of my vin aswell , my car blows soot out and the tip is very black that comes off on your finger , this is what I cant understand , it all points to not having one but I'm sure it does , looking on fleebay at a v70 cat for the psa engine they look the same as what I've got

are the pipes connected up to a pressure sensor on the side of the battery?

A working particle filter stops all soot , maybe someone has removed the internals ...
