As far as I know red diesel is regular diesel with dye. It should behave the same and not damage anything. But I'm not an expert mate. Have you read the fault codes?

Does the dash not say anything about soot filter being full? I had my S60 go into limp mode after getting that message. I fueled up with shell vpower and a dpf cleaner additive. I then drove the car at high speed in 5th gear for half an hour. By the time I came back home and restarting the car limp mode was gone as was soot filter full message.

BTW for toothache I'd recommend Swedish bitters mixture

Takes the pain away pretty quick 😁
