Usually faulty fuel filler cap switch or DPF additive sensor - what model is the car?
You need to connect to vida (volvo's in house diagnostics) for more specific info, either a good independant equipped with the software and lead or the dealer. see below for info from VL overview

P2584refers to
The PCM monitors that the fuel additive control system operation. If the fuel additive control module detects the fuel additive control system malfunction and requests to PCM that the MIL turn ON. The PCM determines that the fuel additive control module requests the MIL to ON.
Symptoms
Possible sumptoms of OBD code P2584
DPF or Mil Light
Causes
Possible causes of OBD code P2584
• Fuel additive system malfunction • Fuel additive level sensor malfunction • Fuel additive control module malfunction

Hope that helps

It will probably need additive top up.

Did this message come up immediately after filling up with fuel.?

If so then this is probably fault.

Next question that should be considered is whether car has full Volvo history.

If not serviced by Volvo agent then may not have been topped up.

the car is 2004 2.0 diesel
As far as i know it has not been serviced by volvo the last 2 times.
Where about is the fuel additive tank so i can have a look.
Thanks for the replies

Tis at the rear under the bumper I do believe. Do a search on DPF issues on thee forum and you will find a lot of info about this. Also check if your car has a Diesel Particulate Filter fitted. You ca do this by checking the VIN number.
Cant remember the ins and outs of it but again a quick search will give you the info.
Hope this helps.
