Default C30 1.6D Engine service Urgent(DPF/ADM related)

Hi all.

First poster so please forgive me for talking about what my searching shows is a much discussed topic.

Chain of events. (although I don't think first set of events relates to second but putting it out there incase someone knows more than me)

-Car driving fine on a 100mile trip from london to Norfolk
-Journey home went for an overtake on a country road and at 3000rpm engine cut out. Coasted to a stop and restarted engine.
-Found quiet stretch of road and revved it again and again same thing happened.
-Kept revs nice and low and started googling for answers.
-Google/ This forum Suggested Fuel filter and seen as I was due to service the car anyway bought one along with the other usual items for a service.
-before I had the chance to service the car it started holding revs at 3k instead of cutting out. Pulled cleanly up to 3k but then just stopped.
-Changed fuel filter and all went away and it worked fine.

-Refueled car and Engine service System Urgent message came up on dash along with Red warning triangle/light.
-More googling and I discovered the fact my car had a Eolys tank that needs topping up!
-So off to eBay I go and buy a refill kit and top the tank up. It took the whole litre of liquid!
-Car has at this point done 78,000 miles so as much as i'm happy to serve cars out on the road changing a DPF is a bit much so I book it in to a local DPF specialist who is going to replace the DPF for me.
-Drop car off and warn them the tank has been refilled and will need resetting when they do the diagnostic check so not to worry about quoting for a refill.

-That beings me to now. They have just rang and said the ADM module is showing up as faulty on there system and that its £460 for a new one plus fitting!

I've told them to not bother and i'll do it myself and get the code reset later on.

Having a search round here suggests that it could just be a case of unplug and plug back in!

Is it just a case of replace it and the fault code goes away along with the light or will it still need a plug into a VIDA system to be reset?

The only thing I'm aware of is that VIDA needs told that you've refilled the tank. It also needs told that the DPF has been replaced.

I'm not aware of a method to tell it that the tank itself has been replaced. At 78k miles your car is due a new DPF and a tank top-up (due every 75k). The EOLYS tank should be topped up every 37.5k miles.

Thanks. Eolys fluid has been topped up prior to me taking it to the garage for DPF replacement so all good on that front.

I need to speak to the garage to find out what Diagnostic equipment they are using to see if they are just getting a generic ADM fault code or specific using the VIDA system.

Assuming it is the actual Module itself thats gone faulty and a simple unplug and plug back in doesn't work, does anyone know if the ford one is the same or will I need to find a Volvo one? I only ask As eBay has a couple of Ford ones for sale but no Volvo ones.

Anyone near to Borehamwood North London with a VIDA system they would be prepared to plug into my car for me and see whats flagging up?

Next question.

Who knows where the ADM module actually is?

Well to update this thread incase anyone finds it via google etc at a later date.

Took the car to Volvo Watford for an hours Diagnostic check to find out what actually needed fixing as I wasn't convinced the garage that changed the DPF were using VIDA.

Turns out the fault code was just where everything needed resetting after the DPF and Eolys fluid were changed/filled!

Now I just need to speak to the garage that changed the DPF to find out what they would like to do about my £156 bill for something they should have been able to do themselves!

For the record JEM/Cats2U.co.uk are who I used for the DPF change and can't recommend Volvo Watford highly enough for the service I got.
