V50 Engine 2.0D : - VIN Number Vs DPF

arrowsmith5623 · Jul 27th, 2014, 21:06

Hi,

I know there has been some confusion about whether certain Volvo V50's do or do not actually have a DPF. I have been told that if the 8th digit of your VIN is a 5 that you indeed to have one, if it is a 3 or a 4 you do not. I have checked the VIN on my V50 2.0 SE RDesign 57 plate and it is a 4. From some research this seems to suggest that it is a Euro 4 with NO DPF. Is this correct ?

Many Thanks

Dear Mr P,
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 YV1MW7541AXXXXXXX.
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

easiest way is to have a look underneath lol . but yes 8th digit 3/4 no dpf but 5 is dpf on later cars 1.6d they have things like 5/E/F which also means the car has a dpf
