I'd have to agree with him here Euromodder.. modern engines are built to microscopic tolerances, so there should be little/no difference between cars.

I know if you're on this site that you're not thrashing the car..and darn tootin you should see no bills.

How about asking for them to provide you with a replica of your car (there must me one of a similar age/spec/mileage in the dealer network) that way you can compare apples and apples-another thing to consider is take a volvo mech out with you whilst you drive so tehy can see the regeneration/driving style/conditions?


As for DPF- I'm tempted by 1.9 tdi PD lumps or the bulletproof 1.9SDi
