A reply that I made to another question in the diesel engine forum - might be of interest

Both document clearly show that a DPF needs to reach the correct temperature for regeneration and it is clear (especially in the AA document) that DPF diesel engined vehicles have usage parameters that preclude them for use in the situation that many people are using them.

Very interesting link.

Might be a good idea to send this link to our Volvo dealers to let them know , we know
The more they get the more they might (at east) acknowledge it.

Notice how the thread died out when the main protagonist found that his oil level did not rise after the software update. The heated discussion about oil dilution became an abstract academic hypothesis, because there was no actual oil dilution happening. What a storm in an oil sump.
