They contradict themselves from post #3 above: "Dear Mr PXXXX, 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 YV1MW7541A25*****. 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 <-removed-> Customer Support Manager Volvo Car UK Ltd" and there IS a more robust system from 2009 model year , it has a particle filter which doesnt need any attention and NO EOLYS top up

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Clan is wrong, I too was interested in the fact that they contradicted themselves in the email Loskie received and brought up this very point. The lady then went away and sought an answer that was so called "definitive" and came back 5 or so mins later with what I typed above. I took them to their word and decided to post it.
This kind of made sense to me as a car I am booked to look at on Sunday has a 8th digit of 4 and according to my local independent (who searched the VIN and Reg No) it has a DPF? Believe me I really, really hope that they are all wrong and Clans fountain of knowledge is just as free flowing as it usually is but I really want to stress that I am not calling anyones opinion incorrect, just posting what I thought was valuable addition to the topic. |

I have a 2006 (2007 model) V50 2.0D Sport (Euro 4) with a 4 as the 8th digit and I was very glad to hear on my last service, that I have NO DPF.

It has been known in the past that Volvo UK get stuff wrong. I TRUST what Clan has posted and many others on this forum do.
For those doubters out there, ring Volvo UK and see what they say. Or your local dealer. |

Have a look and findout 4 sure
I would suggest a quick look at the exhaust system, VIN numbers are all fine but nothing beats having a look underneath to see what system you have, however Clan is usually right in my humble opinion ! As far as im aware the DPF is a separate component similar in appearance to an exhaust box with some extra pipes (is on a D5 euro 4 anyway)

You obviously have more experience than me regarding whether they are a trustworthy source of information for their own product. All I did was attempt to relay the information that I thought may have been valuable to others. Do I honestly deserve the negativity for that? First impressions of this site were a friendly place to be with good open discussion, I'm beggining to think I may have been wrong. |

Some people are a little more 'opinionated' than others and as such have a stronger point of view, I know I've run into it before(!!) but everybody means well, honestly! So, welcome and please do join in, everybody's point is a valid and welcome one. A difference of opinion is what makes the world go round!! |

All MMT6 D4204Ts with DPF have the Eloys stuff. Those with an MPS6-4 box (Powershift) don't and have the same system as the D3/D4/D5
