Default Soot filter full

2009 V70 D5
Big miler (245k miles) that has been driving perfectly but the 'soot filter full' thingy has appeared. The power has been significantly reduced as a result but it is still driving. I bought the car almost a year ago and it has been faultless but a couple of weeks ago the warning came on. I don't drive the miles that a diesel needs. I do less than 10 miles a day so the car never really gets a chance to warm up. I took it for a 40 mile trip and I had it in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear to try and force a regeneration but it didn't happen. What's your advice?

You may find a company that offers a cleaning service for DPF’s can resolve the priblem. It needs the DPF removing, cleaning out with their chemical cleanjng system and refitting. I understand costs are typically £5/600 so pribably cheaper than a new DPF. When done (coming from a high mileage dirsel driver of 35 years) i would use premium fuels such as Vpower and give it an Italian tune up every few weeks. And next time buy a petrol! Keep us posted on how you get on.

You could ask for a local member with Dice/VCX and Vida to do a forced regeneration.

I suspect at that mileage the DPF is goosed but nothing to loose with trying a forced regen. Might buy you some time.

Default DPF Cleaner

Try the cheapest option first, DPF cleaner. Cataclean, etc

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cataclean...4AAOSwPjZdqDNd

Don't forget to use the correct engine oil in your engine. Some oils produce a lot of ash which can bung up the DPF. Volvo uses 0W/30 A5/B5 in many of it's 5 cylinder D3,D4 and D5's which is a low ash producing oil.
