I don't know about VIDA but if you're not getting the 'Soot Filter Full' message then the regen process must be working OK.

Morally speaking the dealer should have told him.
Being realistic they're in business to shift units, and so long as they don't outright lie that's what they'll do. Its up to buyers to do their due diligence before handing over the cash on the second most expensive asset of us will buy, but it's surprising (although maybe it shouldn't be) how few people bother. A diesel of any make or model certainly isn't an appropriate choice for the use to which Tangey puts it.

I dunno diesel prices and tax went a bit silly in the mean time they're not as much of an obvious advantage as they used to be are they well not round my way anyway with all this ULEZ and so on. think the fuel prices are supposed to be back down a bit now though?

Hi Gang,
I have a 2006 S60 D5 185 which has started getting iffy with the dpf over the last year or so. 177k miles, it gets a good amount of motorway running for 30+mins generally, but now the soot filter full message is coming on nearly every trip. Would a glow plug relay fault prevent effective regeneration? Thats the only consistant code I have on the car and I wasn't aware that it was overly critical. Has anyone removed and washed the dpf with success? Happy to try this before condemming it with a big hammer! |

As for removing and cleaning the DPF, there's not really a need to do that. It can be done, but its a messy. A good blast down the motorway will clear it out, but you need to get the glow plug issue sorted first. You could also do what's known as a "forced regen". The car needs to be hooked up to diagnostics to do that and the diagnostic tool basically tells the ECU to rev the car high for about 10-15 minutes, which raises the temperature in the exhaust/DPF and the soot flies out the back. However, the fuel can get diluted with the oil when doing that, so its best to change the oil after you've done a forced regen (just in case there's fuel dilution).
