I have a Volvo V50 2.0 with 136 horsepower, manufactured in 2007. D4204T
According to Volvo, the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) should be replaced and the additive (if applicable) should be replenished at 120,000 km.
I haven't been able to find a container for the additive. Could it be that this model no longer requires an additive?
Is there a Volvo mechanic here who is more knowledgeable about this? I can provide the vehicle identification number (VIN) if needed.
Can I also use a DPF from the aftermarket (e.g., Stahlgruber), or is that not recommended?
Thank you. VCDS

There are also companies that professionally verschandeln DPFs.
Best regards, Rainer.

Hi,
The 2.0D engine should be a PSA engine. They almost all had an additive tank back then... in the worst-case scenario, it's best to check directly with Volvo.
Regarding the DPF... have it cleaned.

If it's not in the spare tire well or the side of the trunk, check underneath the car. If it uses an additive, it's likely Satacen. The fuel tank probably isn't accessible from inside the car. However, there should be a feed line leading to the tank. If necessary, walk along the hoses.

I found something and I also saw the container when I picked it up. You need one with a hose and a quick-release coupling, not like the one in the Sharan that requires screwing. It's filled through the same line that's used to inject the fluid into the tank. The tank is completely sealed.
Is this the exact same toxic/harmful substance that you refill in a Sharan? You can get it from Walker, the part number is EOLYS 176, or at least that's what it's called. VCDS

Hi,
That's not the same. The Volvo gets Eolys 176, while the Sharan 7M gets Satacen 25.
Take a look online for the part number Walker 80601. It's a filling kit with a hose. Maybe that will be helpful to you. Unlike Satacen, the Eoly is also available at Stahlgruber/PV.
You can send me the Fhgst number whenever you have a chance. I can use it to search for parts at Volvo. Unfortunately, I don't have access to repair manuals. I'd be happy to take a look if you like, but it won't be until this evening. Passat Variant BGW 2005

I need to check the car directly again; the registration document only shows a 16-digit number. VCDS
