Volvo d13 often parked regen and quick soot level increase

How old, how many miles, and when was the DPF serviced? If you idle all night it is not uncommon to regen shortly after reaching highway speed. You either have a plugged DPF that needs service or you have something wrong with the air to fuel ratio creating a lot of soot. I drove a 2012 Volvo D13 as a company driver for a year and a half and it never had a parked regen.

 

DPF clogged with ash and / or ruined from coolant contamination

 

We saw sometimes the insulation inside of the flexible pipe at the turbo outlet broke and fall on the top of the DPF and generate a situation like you explain.

 

Could be a faulty Soot level sensor I have 2017 D13's and newer. We have been crawling all over our Regen Systems lately. Now sure what type of system you have, I have the stackable cannisters on our older models and the 2018 have a huge side mount.

 

Hi bro can you please tell me where is this soot level sensor located on 2013 volvo D13 ?
