Hi, I did the same jobb in my volvo v50 2006, you can allways save your old DPF and clean it with 5ltr. cane of dpf cleaner ans save it for the next swap.

Thanks for the tip but the old one was cracked I believe

Hi, is it possible to get the installation instructions from you?😁 very helpful video!

[@patchnplay]

If you want I can get you a printout from the VIDA software. Contact me using the address in the About section. However, I recommend you get the VIDA Virtual Machine yourself as it's quite useful for testing.

​@patchnplay where did you download your version? You just use a computer and connect it to the car?

Beste, wil je mij aub het document doorsturen voor de installatie staps van een roetfilter, ik kan dit nergens vinden en dit zou mij enorm helpen omdat ik die van mij moet lassen 😢 alvast bedankt!!!

[@patchnplay]

Dag Vincent, je vindt de installatiestappen in de Volvo VIDA software. Ik kan je helaas geen print doorsturen momenteel omdat ik de laptop met deze software momenteel niet heb. Kan er pas in de week van 1 mei weer aan. Op zich is het vrij voor de hand liggend dus ik kan je wel helpen met specifieke vragen...
