V50 D3 DPF help please thanks

bunnerscj · Aug 4th, 2017, 11:12

Hi all,
Love this place for a Volvo newbie ..

Could someone help with some buying advice please.
After a recent post on here I'm looking to source a V50 D3.
However, I can find any research online re DPF history.

Can someone advise on which models (MY I guess) have wet DPF systems requiring cash maintenance over the years against those MY cars which have dry DPF systems ?

Are there any other issues with the D3 I should look out for or avoid too ?
Thanks in advance
Chris 😊

As far as I'm aware all D3/D4's have a dry system that needs no fluid or DPF changing. I have a D3 and love it, quick standard but a lot better after a remap ;-). Best diesel engines to get are the D3/D4 (same engine D3 just detuned) & the D5 as these are volvo engines not ford/Pug engines
