Does a V50 07 2.0D SE have a dpf or is it only Euro 4 models

damo99 · Mar 29th, 2010, 17:24

Am looking at buying a V50 2.0D SE 07 plate, it has just short of 60k on clock has been a business car, full volvo service history all serviced at the same dealer. Service's no more than 9months apart.

I asked the dealer when does the dpf need replacing and they said not until 90k and i asked what the cost would be, after the service manager had reaserched this they said that the V50 07 did not have a dpf on.

I thought all volvo diesels had a dpf on? or is this just the Euro 4 models?
As my S40 2.0D SE 55 plate is a Euro 4.

They said that is a dpf did need replacing it would cost £500

I believe the newer ones have a DPF like the bigger volvos ie a better quality one that doersnt need changing ..
Have a look at the "silencer" under the car in line with your feet , if it has two small pipes going up to the engine bay it is a Particle filter ..
if the 8th digit of the VIN is 5 it should have a particle filter too .

I asked a similar question of Volvo Customer Services re my V50 2.0d new July 09 and got the following reply. I think on the cars that require a new DPF the change is at 75000m not as you stated. Hope the following gives required infor
Cheers.

Dear Mr PXXXX,
Thank you for your email and I apologise for the delay in responding to
you. I can confirm that your vehicle does not have a particulate filter.
This information is gleaned from the chassis number YV1MW7541A25*****.
75 is the engine variant and the following 4 shows that it is Euro 4
emissions which do not have the filter. I hope this is the information
you require, thank you for your contact with this office.
Yours sincerely

Which have the DPF then? Based on the above post, mine is also Euro 4 - 2008 S40 2.0D. I thought it would be DPF when i bought it - would be happy if it wasn't though!!

If the 8th character of your VIN is 5 it will have one ...

Hi guys, sorry to bring up an older thread! I was looking at buying a 2008 S40. The 8th character is indeed 4. I'm hoping this means it DOESN'T have a DPF. Could anyone confirm that this is the case? Thanks in advance!

Definitive answer for my car, a 2009/59 V50 2.0D Powershift.

The DVLA registration document shows it as an E4 and I can confirm it does have a DPF. Mine has done over 92,000 miles now and apart from the odd 'soot filter blocked' warning it has been fine.

A quick dose of the 'Italian tune up', that is to say a quick blast up the motorway always clears it, not seen it for nearly two years now.

Hi All,

Newbie here so go gently!

I am just buying a 20008 '57 plate V50 with the 8th digit of the VIN as a 4. It looks as though I may be lucky and have no DPF. But, i have read all the comments with interest and know from experience with other cars how expensive this can be.

I did a search to try and find a picture of a backaxle beam with a DPF on it but to no avail. Interseyingly, I did find this instead.

This company will remove the DPF, modify the pipework and change the ECU settings. I haven't spoken to them, but it may be the a possible answer to the expense of having a DPF changed. May be worth investigation by members faced with this potential problem.
