Low power on my 54 diesel.
I have a 2004 volvo v 50 diesel with 75000 mainly used to short journeys. We have been told the additive tank is empty and need refilling. Been quoted £350 from Volvo, really dont fancy that as it passed an MOT with the tank empty. Could it be done at home?
Will the engine be damaged if the tank is left empty or will it affect the power and fuel economy? Before the Volvo we have a 130bhp vw bora and that had more power and economy than the Volvo. I found on the forum how to clean the particulate filter is that worth doing to get some more BHP back? Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated as if I get over taken by a van a again the Volvo has to go. |
