I am just wondering if you are even able to do this. It would be an interesting concept to have a Valdor get close to the enemy and then blow it up to basically nuke them.

Death guard and GSC can force explosion, on a destroyed vehicle

In general, unless your unit or army has a special rule or Stratagem to do so, no you can’t blow up your own model voluntarily.

Tyranid Spore Mines. That's about it

In general, you cannot target your own models with your attacks and so you have no way to kill them outside of special rules.

To put it even more generally, the rules give you permission to do things, then add restrictions on top of that. The rules do not give you general permission to kill your own models, so you can't unless another rule (e.g. Explosion) does so.
