XC60 D5 soot filter

1969wolfie · Oct 21st, 2017, 19:28

I have been reading through threads about this subject with interest as we are experiencing the same problem. I got my XC60 D5 175bhp drive model back from the garage yesterday after having a new steering rack fitted. On test driving the “ soot filter full “ warning comes up on the dash and the engine instantly went into limp mode. We’ve had the car for a little over four years and have not experienced any dpf issues until yesterday. When we bought the car it had done 106000 miles and in the four years we have put another 80000 miles on it with the only issue being replacing the clutch 2000 miles ago. Then having to have the garage replace the steering rack after they put the bolts back in the wrong locations. Now whilst the steering has been dodgy the car has not really been used much instead of being the main car and used daily. So I understand that the filter has probably become clogged due to lack of use but I have been out for a run in it today for over an hour hoping that this would trigger a regeneration but to no avail. So my question is if the limp mode has activated is it a main dealer regeneration only to fix or can it be triggered by a long run as we were due to go to Scotland tomorrow but due to the car issue are not going now thinking that a main dealer visit on Monday morning is needed.

Many thanks in advance

Wrong subforum perhaps?

200k is a long time in the life of a DPF. Might be at end of life?
