I noticed you put Snert into your garage. Any news on Hägar's health? Do you miss him?
How often did the S40 go through DPF regen cycles, compared to your V50?

With the 1.3CDTI (FIAT 1.25 Multijet) engine fitted with a diesel particulate filter, what can happen is that excess diesel fuel that was supposed to burn hotter and regenerate the dpf does not and instead seeps into the sump, gradually raising the level of sump oil to the point that the engine starts to run on it, cannot be stopped and therefore self-destructs. Vital to check sump oil level regularly.

Different engine, same problem though ? |
I heard somewhere that PSA's HDi turbodiesels aren't prone to going out of control, but Renault on the other hand is supposedly notorious... Just a rumor, though.
