Volvo VNL W D13 P20EE00 DEF ISSUE

I have the truck since last year February 2024 and to be honest i did not have any major issues on the dpf. I have replaced once 7th injector and the particular matter sensor. Even know it is not putting me in limp mode but i bet if i keep driving like this the day will come

 

It will. Address it before it addresses you.

 

Here is a thread. Note #28, the first one in Feb. Also #22. Volvo d13 often parked regen and quick soot level increase | Page 2 | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board
I doubt you have a flow problem. If you did it would be asking for regens or derating. What does the percentage for the DPF read on the dash?

Read the posts in this thread, especially #8.

Without the software and diagnostics/data it is a guessing game which can get expensive fast. Look closely for any black soot which would indicate a leak.

 

Another thread. Start at the top. When you get to the Oct 1, 2016 thread there is a link to a TTR thread.

I have read al of them and i just don’t know where to start first. The only leak that i have i noticed it is on the flex pipe behind the turbo few little holes and spray them with soupy water and it is pushing bubbles, but not sure how that can affect the flex pipe between dpf and scr

 

A lot going on in those threads. Here is what I would do for the fastest and least expensive way to find the problem(s).
1 - After reading the Mack thread I strongly believe you have a leak(s). By far the best way is to find someone to do a pressure/smoke test where the system is pressurized to about 20psi and see where the smoke, if any, comes out. That should not cost a fortune, maybe a few hundred at the most. Did you use new gaskets for the flex pipe and doser? One O/O on here had an Int'l that was in the shop for about a month with the NOx efficiency code. He said changing the doser gasket solved the problem as there were 2 gaskets and the shop used the wrong one. While it was a while ago another O/O told how Volvo had defective flex pipes with holes in them.
2 - If #1 does not find any leaks I would get a software update for the ECM etc.

 

This is the only cracks i found but i touched it from the inside and there was none

 

Did you look up into the SCR when you had the pipe off?

Eventually you gotta quit looking outside and see what it looks like inside.

Just take the DPF apart and see what you got. It probably needs cleaned anyways.

When I say flow issue, you have something keeping your exhaust from moving. Leaks, blockages, etc.

You can sit here and play 100 questions or just go find out WTF is wrong.

 

Okay i will be back once i fix this issue

thank you

 

Don't forget to look into the SCR. It is likely part of your issue.

And you can buy all of the gaskets and clamps aftermarket for 1/4 the price of Volvo
