Astra 2.0cdti dpf regen info?

[Rusty2009]

Normally when a DPF regen is happening it does go upto 0.4.

Have you though of fitting a LED so you know when a regen is happening?

Rusty,
Few further questions regarding led dpf lights.
Did you splice into the connector cables? Will this light come on when any dpf regen occurs? Not just when the filter is full. I may fit one, don't mind it being in the door.
Annoying GM didn't make it easier for their customers to realise when one is occuring. As we shouldn't need to check the tick over rate continuely or the fuel consumption calc. Rediculos really.
Cheers.

Yes I spliced into the wires.

So the Light will come on whenever the rear-demist is on, even if you put rear demist on manual the LED will light up.
The reason we tapped into the rear demist is purely because the car turns this on in the background when doing a regen (yet the tell-tell led on the button doesn't come on).
If you have the tap consumer menu on your display next the car is doing a regen pop to that menu and you will see rear demist is active.

I totally agree, I emailed Vauxhall about this and the fact failed regens could end up costing the owner a lot of money.
The reply was if I've never seen the light I'm driving the car correctly.
They totally missed the point that as drivers we want to know a DPF regen is being done so we don't turn the car off etc.
