Re: Dpf regen
All this can also be recognised on the normal display.
Fuel consumption increases significantly during regeneration and in coasting mode fuel consumption does not drop to 0.00, but fluctuates between 1.00 and 2.00 litres.

Re: Dpf regen
How's the LED indication device working out?

Re: Dpf regen
What sort of mileage between light coming on each time ?

Re: Dpf regen
Not sure on the distance for mine, Wife drives it a lot and never says. When I am in if it comes on I try to make sure I keep RPM High and dont stop driving till it goes out.... Defeats the object of reducing pollution in my opinion. But manufacturers know best !
Thanx to all the admins & knowledgeable people that make this the best forum on the interweb. BUT COME BACK MARC , We miss you!

DPF Assisted Regeneration indicated by DIY LED indicator
I fitted an LED into the drivers door mirror housing some years ago. Of course it only lights up when "regeneration assistance" is required, otherwise passive regeneration occurs without indication.
The LED has allowed me to determine that my car is demanding regeneration assistance precisely every 745-750 miles (12 successive occasions since 2023) indicating the ECU has reverted to a "distance strategy" independently of the DPF pressure differential. So, when the LED illuminates I try to run the car up a nearby dual carriageway at higher revs to assist the regen. Typically, it takes about 10 minutes at 60-70mph, during which the LED illuminates and distinguishes numerous times.
The current DPF has done 11,000miles (191,000 to 202,000) and indicated regeneration 19 times.
