DPF Concerns
Hi everyone,
I'm looking at getting a 2011 Volvo V60 1.6D with around 120,000 miles. At the moment I don't do many long drives but as of now I'm becoming a full-time photographer and filmmaker, so far most of my work has been local but I'm thinking that I may be driving long distances as I get more work. My dad is concerned about diesels because of the DPF clogging up if frequent long drives are not taken. I know some more modern cars are better at managing their DPF's and so some people seem to reckon its not a huge issue and just a case of giving it a good run if it does clog and some people such as my dad would rather avoid them like the plague. I wanted to know what you guys would think and your experiences with these diesels.
Many thanks,
Lewis
