Volvo V90 Diesel Particulate Filter DPF (2016-Today)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an emission control device integrated into the exhaust system of the Volvo V90 diesel engine. It collects particulate matter from exhaust gases to reduce pollution.

DPF regeneration is an automatic process that burns off the accumulated particulate matter collected in the filter during driving. It usually takes between 10 to 20 minutes and requires the engine to reach its normal operating temperature.

To ensure efficient regeneration of the DPF, follow these guidelines:

• Drive preferably on rural roads or highways.
• Continue driving for at least 20 minutes after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature.
• Use a parking heater in cold weather to help the engine reach the correct temperature faster.

Avoid frequent short trips, especially in cold weather, as the engine may not reach the necessary temperature for regeneration, causing the filter to fill up quickly.

When the DPF is about 80% full of particulates, a yellow warning triangle will appear on the dashboard along with the message "Filter full - See owner's manual".

If the filter becomes fully clogged, it can lead to difficult engine starting and the DPF will likely need to be replaced.

During regeneration, you may experience:

• Temporary slight reduction in engine power.
• Temporary increase in fuel consumption.
• A burning smell may be noticed.

The warning message on the display will disappear automatically once the regeneration is complete.

Yes. High-quality replacement DPFs compatible with the Volvo V90 are available. These are manufactured to meet European standards and are designed to effectively trap fine particulate emissions.

Replacement filters with integrated catalytic converters are also available, tested to comply with ECE-ONU regulations for emission control.

• All replacement DPFs are new and manufactured from durable stainless steel materials.
• They come with a 3-year warranty covering use up to 100,000 kilometers.

Choosing genuine quality parts helps maintain efficient emission control and vehicle performance.

If the DPF becomes completely filled and regeneration does not occur, it can cause:

• Difficult engine starting or failure to start.
• Permanent damage to the DPF making it unusable.
• Reduced engine performance and increased emissions.

Timely driving habits to allow regeneration and replacement of the DPF with quality parts help avoid these issues.
