Default Re: DPF regen

take it out for a drive 80kph in 4th for 10mins should be enough.

Well has been for me. I do have the twisties 7kms from home so that helps if it's been a while. I'll know it needs a good drive cause it'll get a tad smokey when I accelerate from 40kph to 100kph briskly or I notice soot from the headlights of the vehicle behind when taking off. I recently did a 200km trip (100km each way) on a long weekend couple of weeks ago and after overtaking the fourth vehicle there was little to no soot from the rear. Family behind me in another vehicle noticed big puffs till there was nothing.

Every now and then I'll give it the boot to monitor soot levels and gauge when to plan a trip. So many places to get out and explore in the Tropics I'm lucky it plays a part.
