I think its also that bio diesel does not evaporate so builds up, hence the rise in the oil? Regards |

Bacically ,If the dealer "modifies the vehicle "!! what they do is hook it to a computer reset the electronic oil level indicator on the instrument panel , drain if necessary the engine oil to the "New lower level" the instrument panel will still show full on the instrument panel , but you will have less oil in the engine sump , I was told there is a half a litre less in the sump ,but , don't quote me , so if you have the oil changed by a non franchise dealer don't go by the Handbook or their data check with a Franchise dealer the capacity.
The reason why they don't want the engine oil level to increase as already said is because the engine will not only run so you can't switch it off it will rev, like hell and will do so until it burns off excess oil ,believe me it would scare the pants off you ,I was in the motortrade and once well over filled an engine with engine oil and the engine being a diesel ran on the oil at high revs, incidently this happening to you will not happen it's very rare , and don't forget whatever car you buy (diesel ) has this as far as I know !

May be a stupid idea but wouldn't a 'regen in progress' warning light resolve so many issues?

Just happened to me during the week, would dpf removal and remap cure this? Since Volvo can't? Definitely not happy with the response from dealer saying this just happens and we sucked some oil out.

it is illegal to remove , There is something wrong if a dealer cant fix it ! try another dealer ... remember a dealer is not Volvo, it is their agent .. skills should be the same worldwide but they are not of course .
